We were glad that Joe wore shoes instead of sandals last night!
The 4th is now history, meaning it’s only 172 days until Christmas! Shocking!
We took it easy today as yesterday was quite tiring. When it came time for brunch, we decided leftovers were the name of the game. We will be eating leftovers for the next week.
Hot dogs, baked beans, potato salad, and corn on the cob for breakfast/lunch? Yes indeed! The weather was so lovely that we dined on the patio! We had tea and just sat back, enjoying each other and the yard.
Mary is so straightforward to be with; we can spend hours just talking (which results in a lot of giggling).

Yummy!!
We had planned to go out for a while, but we received a call from Jeff, our neighbor, and he told us Dr. Bill was coming to see him. Dr. Bill is a long-time friend and a podiatrist. We hurried out for a short visit to the nursery to get corn and lettuce.
We picked up the lettuce and arrived back home before 1:30 pm. We had planned to plant, but the temperature was in the mid-80s, so we decided against that idea. There is always a tomorrow.
I needed to clean up a little before visiting Jeff and Dr. Bill, but things always take longer than expected anymore.

Mary assisted me!
We visited with Dr. Bill for a few minutes as he was on his way to see another patient.
We walked back home and took the rest of the day off, doing nothing. We had dinner on the patio, but we were so tired from the previous day that we didn’t even go in the pool. We watched a movie on TV and finally crashed at about 11:00 pm.
