July 4th

  Yesterday was a lazy day for Jim and somewhat for me too.  He did take the trash down and picked up mail from Friday.  I stripped the bed and washed the sheets.  Made potato salad for lunch along with some corn on the cob and some chicken tenders (from the freezer).  It was a good lunch for the 4th of July

I had asked Jim to find some of the celebrations on TV.  We don't have cable TV, just the channels that came with the TV.  We have subscriptions to Discovery+, Acorn, Netflix and Disney+.  We rarely watch TV and I have no idea on finding anything on that big black screen.  He turned on Fox and I did get to see some of the tall ships but mostly they were just yakking.  Then some lady came on showing us some fashion show.  It was about this time that Jim took the trash out so I just turned off the TV

After lunch we did watch a couple episodes of Nautilus.  I took a nap.  I believe it was next we turned on ABC and David Muir signed off and we went to Nashville...Ryan Seacrest told us all about what was coming up...more yakking!  so I did a google search and found Capital on the Fourth being shown on YouTube.  It was a replay from the night before

Finally some music and what I've come to expect on the 4th of July.  I'm not much into fireworks but it was nice seeing it highlighted behind  George Washington's house Mount Vernon.

We only heard some firecrackers here in the complex. 

We went to bed around 1030 and had no problem sleeping.  

I was up just before 0600 and Jim was up around 0930.  We both had cereal with fruit for breakfast. Just before 1000 I checked the outdoor temperature, it was 104!  The sensor is on the patio which gets full sun most of the morning.  It did go down to 98 at one point. I did a load of laundry.

Jim finally got out of his chair for lunch.  I fixed him Pad Thai, a pre made meal from the freezer.  I don't care for it so I had potato salad and we both had fresh cherries<<yum.

After lunch I took a nap, at this point I think it's boredom more than the need to sleep.  I heard music (lightly) from upstairs, they were also moving furniture around and thunder from a system that failed to deliver rain.  

The Pad Thai made a mess in the sink so I scrubbed it and it's all shiny again. 

I guess today was a lazy day also!

This and That

  We eat lunch out quite often.  Yesterday after we picked up our CSA box we headed to Walk On's  and had a delicious meal.  Jim had a fried Louisiana plate with some etouffee while I noshed on a Caesar salad.  I washed it down with water and he had sweet tea.   

Summer is heating up here in Tallahassee.  The AC came on around 1730 yesterday.  What is your ideal thermostat setting?  Because of this building I can keep ours at 78 degrees during the day, at night 75 degrees.  We both like it on the cooler side for sleeping but use the ceiling fan and sleep under quilts.

Sonsearae stopped by this morning for her veggies and a short visit.  Always nice to see her!  Shortly after she left we did too.  I had an appointment for a haircut.

Jim dropped me off then took the car through the car wash and tidied it up.  Says he finished up about the time I messaged him I was ready.  I like that as it means he wasn't out in this hot weather to long.  From there we went to Whole Foods to pick up some soy creamer and yummy cherries and blueberries.

Now it was time for lunch!  Stopped in at Casa Grande Margaritas and Cocina. We both ordered a margarita and enjoyed the chips and salsa while we waited for our food.  Unfortunately for me the TV's were showing golf and soccer.  I ordered two tacos and refried beans, Jim had a taco salad.

Back home I got everything put away, caught up on my game and took a nap!  Alcohol induced I'm sure :)  When I got up I noticed Jim was napping also.

Sonsearae stopped by on her way home from work to get her creamer and a half case of Dos Equis, it's been sitting in my pantry since we moved here.  How do I know?  I found items paced in there that I've since replaced because I couldn't find them!
