We have heat warnings out for old people like me. Even so, I managed my morning walk, starting at 8:30 am and the temp was 85°F but it felt more like 185. While on the walk, I managed to talk with Martime who had broken her ankle after finishing vacuuming her car. She turned and tripped on a paving stone. She’s in a boot for at least 3 weeks.
As I continued on down the block, I saw Gerry and Sonia with their yard sale. They are selling their house and moving to Nevada in an RV. They plan to make that their home for the next 4 or 5 years. I’m excited for them. Sonia gave me a big hug.
I made it home after 1.5 miles. I really felt good about that and pleased I made it that far without my ankle causing too much trouble. I really do feel much better these days, just no stamina.
Yesterday, I was about to put a pork loin in my damaged oven when I got a text from Holley asking if I wanted to go with her and Jim for Thai food or if I wanted them to bring me some. I put the pork loin back in the fridge and they picked me up a few minutes later for Thai Spice happy hour. Appetizers were 1/2 off and cocktails were two for one. Holley insisted on paying for it. They are getting ready for a cruise and wanted to see me before they left. What great friends!
The friend I visited in the hospital passed away this week. She was quite a person. I’ve included the obituary below to show how loved and honored she was by her students, her friends, and the county.

I’m going over to John’s today to help him hang is 65 inch tv on the wall. Pray for me. I’m getting too old to do these things. He’s providing lunch.
Stay tuned!
