IKEA

 We went to IKEA today.  We are looking for a small kitchen table.  We found several that would suffice but none that we were excited about.  Now we need to do some measuring in our kitchen and see if any of the tables we saw will work.

We also ate lunch at IKEA, we had their always good salmon.  We did buy a couple small things, a plate to replace a broken one and a cheep clock.

It rained today, enough to help the lawns and I'm sure the farmers were happy!

For dinner we had pulled pork sandwiches.

Usual Monday

 Did the usual Monday - cleaned house.  Hate doing it but happy to have a clean, picked-up house.

It was another hot day before the cool down.  Very humid, probably because rain is coming tomorrow.  

We had tuna casserole for dinner with a salad.

Independence Day!

 Independence Day - a lot is going on today but we choose to stay in our air-conditioned house!  Different when I was a kid in Belle Fourche South Dakota - there was a huge parade, carnival, rodeo, band concerts, family get-togethers, etc.  A big celebration!  (The carnival was my favorite.)

Today we had beef kababs for dinner, the were good and a lot of food.  Also a salad and corn-on-the-cob.  Later we went to the Dennis' house to watch fireworks from their deck.  There were a lot of fireworks - city sponsored and people just setting them off.

People were still setting fireworks off when we went to bed, guess I was tired as I went right to sleep!

Another hot day

 Just taking it easy today.  Hot and humid outside.  

We went to Pancheros to pick up burritos for dinner.  They are huge and all you need for a meal!

Free

 Breakfast again at Panera.  There were free bagels today for covid vaccinated people - so a free bagel and free coffee (because we belong to their coffee club) made for a free breakfast!

Then we went to HyVee for a few groceries and made a stop in Target for cheap cherries.

We went to Chick-fill-A to pick up dinner, we had wraps and waffle fries with avocado dressing.

I spent considerable time in the afternoon on the computer catching up on things.

July 1

 I had to go for a CT Scan on my ailing lung today.  I had to hold my breath many times which was exhausting, but it didn't take as long as I thought it might.  I won't know the results for awhile.

Afterward we got gas in the car.   Some places are running out of gas and wanted to be sure our almost empty tank was full.  The 4th of July weekend is upon us and everyone seems to be going somewhere!

For dinner we went to "Chili's".  It wasn't busy when we got there but soon started getting full.  I ate too much!
