Blog time noon at Panera

Both up at 0630.  Nancy headed out on her morning walk.  Today she is having lunch with friends.  About 1400 we are heading to Costco so Nancy can purchase food for tomorrow’s Book Club which she is hosting.

Calisthenics, breakfast followed by my morning bike ride.  This morning I saw several flocks of turkeys.   Also noted several pretty butterflies.  Both Nancy and I agree that we have a bumper crop of butterflies this summer.

Kim was already cleaning when I finished with my ride.  Quick shave and shower before heading to Panera.

It is now noon so I will bike to Meijer’s to buy two lotto tickets and pick up a prescription.  Today is the 13th.  Alway buy lotto tickets on 13th.

Today is International Left-Handers Day.  I texted several left handed engineers.

Quick lunch and then waited for Nancy to get home from lunch.  As soon as she arrived we headed to Costco.  Nancy purchased pinwheels sandwiches for tomorrow’s lunch.  She also wanted a veggie tray but found none that she liked.  Stopped at Meijer’s on way home so Nancy could purchase a veggie tray.

At home did a quick read of the online news before starting our paper edition of the GRP.  The only worthwhile thing In the GRP are the funnies and obits.  Local news is a disaster.

This afternoon took a short nap.  Finished the afternoon with a short walk, 0.67 mi.

Nancy brought home a doggy bag from lunch.  No Ms P so I finished the items in the doggy bag at dinner.

We watched the NBC news, local and national.  Started watching PBS news but we have become very disappointed with this show.  They certainly don’t present a balanced viewpoint.  We both dislike Judy Woodruff.  

Headed to den to watch some Apple TV.  We had problems getting Prime Video to work on TV in den so switched to living room TV and had no problem.  We watched an episode of Unforgotten.

When Debbie called this evening we told her our problem with getting Prime on den TV.  She said something was probably stuck. She recommended unplugging.  Sounds like a plan.  During our talk with Debbie she said niece Alessandra will visit for a week starting on Saturday.  Nephew Lucas might also come.  Good news for everyone.

Missy also FaceTimed us this evening.  She said that AJ will spent some time with a friend at Bear Lake, Ca.  I had to get a map out to see where Bear Lake was located. 

All the Grandkids are traveling.  I think a change is good in these difficult times.

The temp had dropped to mid 70s when I check the yard at 2200.  Turned off AC before turning in.
