Blog time 1645 sitting in living room

Up at 0700.  Our usual breakfast venue, The Gathering Place, is closed this weekend.  We decided that we would have breakfast at “Anna’s” near Woodland Mall.  Perfect timing because 10 minutes after our seating the place was full.  This morning I had fried eggs, hash browns, link sausage, and toast.  It was very good.

Nancy had a cinnamon roll.  She was amazed when they brought her this huge roll.  I had to help her and even then we brought more the half home.  Bottom line, we would return to Anna’s.

After Anna’s we drove to Kohl’s but it was closed.  On way home we stopped at Panera for our free coffee.

At home Nancy started the laundry.  I put on bike clothes and took a 10 mile ride.  It was hot, 80, and windy during the ride.  This was longest ride since hip operation.

Showered and shaved and then we drove to Meijer’s.  Nancy picked up two prescriptions and I bought a tube of “Cortizone-10” itch cream for some dry skin patches.

It was 90 when we got home.  Turned on AC.  

Put away my laundry before a quick lunch.

Spent rest of afternoon sitting in living room writing blog.

Sister, Helen, called and said she will visit us this coming Thursday and Friday.  We look forward to her visit.

Missy and I were in constant communication during the day.  I sent her a letter with tracking.  It was due to be delivered today.  Bottom line the USPS screwed things up.  Missy will pick up letter on Monday.

For dinner tonight we drove to Culver’s for a frozen custard.  Sat in car and devoured this cold feast.  After we finished the custard we took a short ride, pleasant summer evening.  Reminds me of my childhood.  On hot summer evening’s the family would drive to ice cream store and get a sundae.  After  we took a ride around the town.  Some things never change.

Tonight we watched episode 1 of Shetland on BritBox.  Good show.  Shetland Island looks isolated.  Checked on map and it is located at latitude 60.  Pretty far north but the Gulf Stream moderates the climate.

Heavy storms coming tonight.  When checked Courtyard at 2200 thunder and lightning were heading our way.  Stay tuned.
