Fri. Aug. 11
From a more comfortable MO,
Actually the day began temperature wise okay, but the humidity when I walked this morning was oppressive. About an hour we had a fog bank move in - didn't surprise me at all.
Jim had rehab this a.m. and I hit the surface streets to do my 1.25 mile trek. It is basically on level streets so it is not challenging - except for the humidty.
We met my cousin from Canada about 11:30 at the coffee house for lunch. She had come over to check out the "finds" at Friends and found several good bargains. We had quiche with salad for lunch. Jim was delighted that he wasn't the only guy in there today. Of course last week he sort of delighted in the attention that the ladies provided to him.
After lunch, my cousin and I went to Kay Green's home. Kay and Margaret had known each other at MU - we won't say how many years ago. Kay and her husband have almost gutted their home and are busy doing painting as wood floors will be installed on Monday. They also have all of their kitchen cabinets out so their lives must be interesting as they deal with all the projects going on.
Jim and I picked tomatoes this afternoon and eventually delivered some to John and Sandy Wheeler.
Jim and I sat outside this evening as we were receiving a delightfully, cool breeze from the north. The girls were loving the cooler temp and were chasing each other in the backyard. Abby is now on my lap and is having difficulty staying on as she keeps going to sleep and sliding. Trixie is curled up at my feet. Jim is reading in the front room and I will maybe join him until 10:00.
I am reading a fictional book about Mary Boleyn (Anne Boleyn's sister). I have marked my "reading list" that I have already read it, but I keep finding sections that I have no memory of - then I come across a section that I do remember. I'd be curious as to what was going on with me when I read it because of my memory lapses.
We are going to walk in the a.m. and then have nothing especially planned for the day. I do need to get the riding lawnmower out as we have one area in the backyard where the grass is getting a little high and some spots need to be trimmed in the front yard, but basically the yard is brown. Only weeds can survive in the weather we have been having.
In case I forget, Jim and I are going to Kansas City on Monday and will spend Monday night at the Embassy Suites (just north of St. Luke's hospital). Jim has a six week check-up on Tuesday a.m. - then we will return to Chillicothe. We'll leave the girls at the kennel overnight. Jim has had so much fun telling people that Doug and I used "his" Canada money for our stay at the Embassy Suites - so he is now going to get a night there. I'm hoping we can get him comfortable in bed so he can get some rest - otherwise we'll adapt the couch in the living room for him to rest on - might feel better there as he can't turn over.
Margaret (Jim's sister) e-mailed today that her daughter, Holly, and Holly's husband made it safely to Gatwick in England. They flew yesterday from San Francisco to Newark and then on to Gatwick. What a day to be flying!
Be safe.
