Sunday

Pouring down rain again this morning.  Dave drove me to the front door of church so that I wouldn't get soaked!!  When we came out of church, though, it had stopped - 2" of rain, though!  We went to the Mall for our walk and then to HyVee for bacon and eggs - yum!!

This afternoon, we went to Gladbrook, Iowa, to the Matchstick Museum.  Fantastic work by a very personable man who just happened to be at the Museum today. 

Wonderful afternoon!

This evening we went to Bryan's and had a fun evening enjoying the kids!

Saturday

We had another chilly, gray day here.  We went out to walk at the mall this morning, so I didn't notice that it was chilly.  By the time we got home after walking and going to Walmart, we ate our lunch and Dave left for Bryan's.  Since Bryan has had pink eye, he hasn't felt like working with his dad, especially outside.  The brightness of the day about ruined his eyes.  I've never seen anyone with pink eye as bad as his.  His eyes were fiery red, swollen, and back and blue around them.  I just hope the little ones don't get it.

After Dave left and the Cubs got so far behind in the 5th inning, I shut off the tv and went outside to sit and read.  Not for long, though, because I got cold.  I came in, got a flannel shirt and went back out for a bit.  Again, though, it was too chilly for me to be comfortable!

Friday

We were supposed to go camping this weekend, but the forecast was horrid.  Rain for the next 8 days!  We're going on June 30th thru the 4th of July.  Hopefully this wet spell will be over by then.  It poured on us here today!  Dave and I went to the Mall to walk our 2 miles.  I got pretty wet going into the mall (Dave did, too!) and then we walked fast enough that when we got done I was wet because I was sweating!!  Good day to be inside.

Thursday

Dave and I went out for lunch today.  Went to LJ's after our 2 mile walk.  Got a BLT and potato salad.  It was delicious...I still have half to eat tomorrow.  Yippee!

Had a couple of errands to run after lunch and then it was nap-thirty!  Then we sat out on the balcony this afternoon late.  Now we're watching the Cubs!

Wednesday

I started out pretty slowly today.  Don't know why, but I was just being a slug!  I even called my brother before I had taken my shower.  That was after "The View".  Dave had gone out to mow at Bryan's so I had permission to be a slug! 

After I talked to Bob, though, I showered and got ready for my day.  First thing I did was go for a 2 mile walk in the neighborhood.  Didn't get quite enough steps in my trek around the cemetery, so I had to finish by going east on Westchester - clear to the end.  That added another 1,000 steps to my total.  I forgot to take my walking stick with me, so I was extra careful!

Tonight we had our annual HOA meeting here at the condo.  We had 25 of the 35 units represented at the meeting, plus 3 proxies.  Of the 7 that weren't represented, two are owned but vacant and one has just sold and closes Friday.  That only leaves 4 - I wonder where they were?  Hmmm...It was a good meeting!

Tuesday

We had another rainy day here - it rained most of the morning!  Today was my monthly WW weigh-in so I had to go out in it.  I got to use my new umbrella at least.  I was right on my goal weight, so all is good.  When I got back from that meeting, Dave and I went to walk at the Mall.  We got our 2 miles in in air-conditioned, dry comfort!  When we walk at the mall, we walk by this place that has the best looking cheese bread and pizza.  So today we ate there.  Dave had pizza and I had a piece of cheese bread - it was good, but not as good as it looked. 

This evening we went downstairs for our version of Family Feud.  What a fun evening!  Dave and I were 1 and 2 after the first half of the game.  I ended up 2nd and Dave ended up 4th.

Monday

Dave and I had errands to run this morning, so before all of that we went to the Mall and got our 2 miles in!!  Then it was off to Walmart and to Sam's Club so we got even more steps in!  By the time we got out of Sam's, I was ready to go home.  It was after noon, I was hungry and I was tired!!  Came home, ate lunch, and then I decided to lay down for a while.  As soon as I got down, the contractor started working up in the apartment above us - grrrrrr!  Needless to say, I didn't get a nap!

Who says we don't have palm trees in Iowa?  These are on tall pillars all through the mall here in Waterloo!  Funniest looking fake trees I've ever seen!
