Tues.
From a warm and very muggy MO,
This has been a quiet day so far. Jim took a Tylenol PM last night and ended up in the recliner - and I didn't hear him until about 7:00 this a.m. The girls were up about 12:30 and again about 6:00, but I had a good night of sleep - so am thinking I won't doze this afternoon.
We decided that with the humidity that we would go to the Y and walk this a.m. - got there - and then I remembered it was closed this week for a good cleaning (this is done annually.) We went back home and walked north on Burnam to the local voting place, voted, and then continued the surface route we used for years. We made it to 16th street - much of this is uphill - and decided to return home. Both of us were soaking wet - probably a little too much for Jim.
After cleaning up, we headed to HyVee for breakfast (haven't done this with Jim in ages) and found Pat Nichols and Doug Long sharing a booth. We joined them and always enjoy catching up. Doug recently did the bike marathon across Iowa and thoroughly enjoyed listening to Lance Armstrong. Doug looks healthier than I have seen him in years - guess the stress of school is off his back. Pat was getting ready to go to the middle school library to help Laurinda get it ready for the opening of school.
We did some major (for us) grocery shopping this a.m. at HyVee. We have been eating a lot of fresh fruit as well as canned fruit (with Splenda) and the latter needed replacing. Jim also picked out some sugar free jello which I am going to fix - probably tomorrow - another Scarlet O'Hara for me. He opted for "fried" chicken for supper. I am not sure you can call it fried as after I use flour on the chicken, I "fry" it in about two tablespoons of olive oil - then add some water after the chicken is browned to keep it from drying out as it finishes cooking. I'm not sure what I will have with it tonight - probably a baked potato and a veggie.
We had turkey/bacon with fresh tomatoes for lunch today - what a treat!
We also have made a book delivery and plastic bag delivery to our county library this a.m. Jim has now ready at least 17 or 18 of the Alexander Kent books.
According to the KC early morning news programs this a.m., the area north of us had a good amount of rain last night - we seemed to have only a sprinkle. At least it is somewhat overcast today so plants won't scald in the sun. The heat is to return in full form tomorrow and last for a few days.
On Wednesday, Jim has rehab in the a.m. and then will probably join the second group for breakfast (oatmeal and dry toast - or if the Grand River Inn again doesn't have oatmeal - he'll have an English muffin.) I don't have anything of significance on the agenda for tomorrow.
I have pulled out the Parker genealogy (my paternal grandmother's maiden name was Parker) and am trying to decipher what needs to be done. I just need to wade in and begin - and hopefully it will begin to fall in place.
Be safe.
