Knoxville In The Rain

Tim, Lisa and I went to Knoxville yesterday because Tim had his annual check up with his new cardiologist.  Five years ago Tim had a heart attack and has been going for annual and semi annual check ups since.  Well, it was that time of year and since we no longer live in Florida he found a new cardiologist in Knoxville.  All is good but because this is a new cardiologist Tim will be doing some tests over the next couple of weeks. This will be a test for our new health insurance to see what we will be paying now and what will be covered by insurance.  Keep your fingers crossed!
The drive to Knoxville was wet but Tim didn't mind because he wanted to get the car rinsed, no sense in having it washed since it was raining, so that some of the salt from the roads would get washed off.  I-40 through Knoxville has flashing signs cautioning drivers to watch for pot holes.  Since I have not been in snow for quite a while I had forgotten what winter weather does to the roadways.  Potholes were popping up or should I say digging down on several roads in Knoxville.  I-40 was developing quite a few.  It rained the entire time we were in Knoxville and did not quit until we got to Parrottsville.  By the late afternoon the sun was out.
While Tim was at the Dr Lisa and I did a little shopping.  Lisa wanted to go to Petco to get a few things for her cat, Angel and her new Grand dog Nyx.  Her son just adopted a new puppy.  After that we decided to go to AC Moore mostly because it was the closet craft store to where we were.  We barely had started shopping  when Tim called.  So we did a quick shop and then headed back to pick up Tim.  He was done a lot quicker that any of us thought he would be.  Yesterday I said we were going to have lunch while in Knoxville and we were not going to eat any restaurant that we had in Newport.  Since the area we were at for Tim's Dr appointment had nothing around there to eat we headed home and decided to eat on the way.  We had lunch at Perkins and it was good.  Lisa and I could not decide on a couple of different sandwiches so instead I ordered one of the sandwiches and she ordered the other and then split the sandwiches in half so we each had both sandwiches.  Good idea Lisa!  We got back to Parrottsville early afternoon and just spent the rest of the day being lazy.
