Busy Friday

It's been another scorcher of a day, but maybe not as hot as it's predicted to get the next three days, when temps could reach over 100 degrees, with insufferable heat indices.

We got up at our usual 7 a.m. hour, so that we could be ready to leave for a trip a few hours east to take the camper to an RV shop, where hopefully the refrigerator can be repaired. We dread that it cannot be repaired and we'll have to buy a new one. Even if the current unit can be fixed, it's going to be costly.

After we dropped the camper off, we went to Hubbie's daughter's house for lunch. She served tuna salad on whole wheat bread, sliced tomatoes, and fresh cucumbers and onions in a vinegar marinade. Dessert was low-fat cottage cheese over canned pear halves. It was all good, and very satisfying.

We left Daughter's house around 1 p.m. and stopped to shop briefly at a couple of places before heading back home.

Mother opted out of going with us today, preferring instead to stay home with Shih Tzu and fix us a supper of hamburgers/turkey burgers, along with leftover macaroni and cheese and veggies.

After supper, we went downtown to watch the parade of antique cars cruise Main Street. This was one of the events of the weekend's river carnival festivities. We won't participate in many of the activities...certainly not in the ones at the river tomorrow, where the heat will be unbearable. But we will go downtown for the 10 a.m. parade in the morning.
