To be sure I'd be ready to walk with my sister Cindy at 6:00 this morning, I DID set my alarm before going to bed last night.  I had time to enjoy my coffee before I left too.  We had a nice walk even though it was a bit steamy.  We managed to log 1.75 miles.  

After returning to Bentley, we left to pick up my daughter Misti's car.  We are taking it to Parsons to leave it for the day while they replace her windshield.  I drove her car and Dean followed me.  We made a quick stop at Walmart's for just a couple of things before heading home.

Once home, I put a load of clothes in the washer and then headed up town to run errands.  I needed to deposit a check and put some documents back in the safety deposit box, take the tag from the van to the County Treasurer's office to get a refund on our taxes, and then stop at the insurance office to cancel the policy on the van so they can issue a refund for the insurance we paid just a couple of weeks ago.  Since my sister Jody works here, I also picked her up for our lunch date.  We drove a short distance, around the corner, to Pizza Hut where we enjoyed their buffet, and had a nice visit.  When we were done eating, I drove to her house so she could put a roast in the oven, then we took a short drive through our beautiful city park before I dropped her back off at work again.  I enjoyed spending some one on one time with her.

I put another load of laundry in the washer once I was back at the park, and then I got online to begin studying various candidates up for election this fall.  We haven't had access to any local TV stations or newspapers for awhile and I would like to be informed before choosing the candidate I vote for.

Earlier this morning I received a text message from our friend and soon to be full-time RV'er Mark.  He was in Joplin for work, and wanted to know if we would be available if he stopped by on his way home.  Of course we said yes and we were glad he thought of us.  We've met with Mark and his wife Karen a couple of times while we've been visiting in the Kansas City area, and we follow each other's blogs.  We are happy they are going to be joining the full-time RV life.  We enjoyed our time together and look forward to the next time we all meet up again.

Soon after Mark left, we headed back to Parsons to pick up Misti's car, but not before we took time to drop granddaughter Haleigh off at work.  We made it back to Oswego a few minutes after 5 and dropped Misti's car off at her workplace.  

Back at Bentley, I made goulash for dinner.  Simple and tasty!  After cleaning up and doing the dishes we both set down to relax for the rest of the evening.  

I have a fun day planned for tomorrow - I'll tell you all about it in the next post.
