Sunday

Went to church this morning and got to meet our Pastor's new baby.  He's precious!  After church we finished loading the camper and took off for Boone and Ledges State Park.  The wind was  blowing so hard that I almost got car sick.  Now the wind isn't blowing at all and wasn't when we got here.  It was 93 here today - very hot and humid.  Felt like 106 or something like that.  I can tell you that it was hot setting up the camper.  Took a long time for the A/C to cool this beast down! 

The little ones were fun tonight.  Aidan and I had dueling bubbles!

Saturday

Oh my goodness, we had a Saturday without rain!  It sure feels like summer though.  It was 92 at 6:00 PM!  It's 85 here at 9:30 PM.  My weather thingy says there's light rain out there, but I don't think so.  The driveway next door looks dry.  The fireflies are flitting about out there, which is another sure sign of summer!

Dave and I bandaged up my toes this morning and walked at the mall.  We got our 2 miles in.  In fact, I'm at 3 miles right now!!  Then we started getting things gathered to go camping tomorrow afternoon.  My weather thingy says we have until Weds in Boone before we have rain and thunderstorms...we're not coming home until Friday or Saturday.  Going to Ames one day of that week!!  Yay!!

Found out today that our little neighbor across the street from us in Florida passed away.  She was 90 and passed in her sleep.  God bless her!!

Friday

Dave and I both slept in this morning.  I woke up around 7:00, but saw it was still dark so knew it was raining...went back to sleep and finally woke up around 9:00!  Came out to see what Dave was doing and he had slept until 8:30!!  Easy to sleep when it's dark and rainy!  Basically it rained all morning.

I lied to you yesterday.  I don't have 2 blisters...I have 3!!  So after my shower, I had to apply 3 bandaids just to be able to put on my shoes.  Today I only got in 1.5 miles and all of those steps were done at Sam's Club and Walmart.  I've got the bandaids off now, letting the blisters dry up!  Hope they feel better tomorrow.

Thursday

This was a hot one!  91 at one time.  When we came out of the Mall, we felt like we walked into a sauna!  Glad we walked inside.  Unfortunately I wore a pair of my old shoes walking, and I am now sporting two blisters - one on each of my big toes!  Won't be wearing those shoes to walk any more!  Bandaids are going to be my best friends!

This afternoon, Dave and I worked on his Board of Directors papers.  He's finally organized!  This evening, I saw my first lightning bug!! 

I've been watching the debates.  Wow!  There was some contention on the stage tonight!  I can't wait to hear what the ladies on The View say about it tomorrow!

Wednesday

My friend, Sudi, cautioned me to watch what I wish for.  I wanted warm weather.  We got it today - 88 degrees and pretty humid.  When we walked today, we walked outside.  When we came home, I was soaked!  It took me sitting in front of a fan for over a half hour before I cooled down enough to eat my lunch!  Tomorrow we may go to the mall to walk because it's supposed to be hot all this week!

Tuesday

We had a beautiful day today!!  We walked in the cemetery this morning because it was so pretty!  Dave went out to Bryan's to work this afternoon.  I sat outside and read for quite some time and read.  Then when Dave got home we sat outside and enjoyed the day until the bugs got to "bugging" us!  I fixed Rice Jambalaya with Polska Kielbasa for supper.

Monday

Dave and I cleaned the house this morning.  I was supposed to go to Cedar Rapids this afternoon with a couple of ladies from the condo, but I was having some stomach issues so I had to beg off.  So I don't have much to say.  I didn't get my walk in even.  I just didn't feel very well.  Bummer.
