It was 5:00am when I woke this Friday morning and headed downstairs to turn the coffee on. It was 72 outside, while inside 69, with humidity of 35%. Our outside thermometer does not have the humidity reading. I don't know what the official high temperature was yesterday but it was supposed to reach 94. I can just tell you it was hot and VERY humid.
It was at least 5:30-5:45 when I set down to finish yesterday's blog post. It's now 7. I have been researching how to post a video to the blog. I've found some good videos on U Tube, so hopefully I'll figure that out when I have a little more time to experiment.
Hayden has to visit the doctor's office every morning until she returns to her birth weight, so Jarred will be taking her to the doctor this morning. Andrea had a c-section, so she's still pretty uncomfortable. Fortunately, Jarred has a few weeks off that he can stay home and help out, and of course Emmy is a big helper at 5 years old.
One thing we always do in Wichita before going home is head to Lamar's Donuts, and that is where we headed this morning. I was good today and only ordered a sour cream donut, versus the apple fritter I typically order. Dean still had his fritter, and since it was National Doughnut Day, we had a choice of a free doughnut. I told them to give us a glazed one. I let Dean have it as I'm trying to keep my carbs down as much as I can. I'm not sure if it was the free doughnuts or people just wanting to get out. It's always busy, but I've never seen the lines like they were today.

I've always bought Dean the same sized shirts since we've been married, but the ones I bought yesterday at Kohl's must have been for young guys because they did not fit him. We drove to Kohl's so I could exchange them, forgetting they are not opening until 11am now. I'm not sure why. Dean decided he wanted to stop at Lowe's and since it was nearby that is where we headed next. We've been looking for a product to spray the yard with to eliminate ticks, flies, etc. and we finally found it. He wanted to look at guttering products for both the garage and a project he is thinking about.

Jarred sent a text earlier that he needed to pick up their dog at 1, so we stopped by their house to pick up Emmy and take her back with us. Since it was now after 12, we went back to Kohl's so I could exchange the shirts we bought Dean. When I walked in and saw the line with returns, I just turned around and went back to the truck. I'll return them in Joplin next week sometime. They are not allowing anyone to try clothes on in the dressing rooms, so I imagine the return lines will be long for awhile. We made a quick stop at Dillon's so I could grab a loaf of bread and some chips. At Bentley, I made Emmy a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Dean and I had our leftovers from the meal we got at Rib Crib last night. Emmy enjoyed herself coloring while we were here.
After lunch we headed to Heath's. Their pool is open and Emmy was excited to swim. They had a good time in the water while Heath, Casey, Dean and I visited on the deck. Jarred stopped by and he was in and out of the water. He is still a big kid! A good thing! He was always fun loving and still is today.

We left around 3-3:30. After setting outside in the heat for that long, we needed to go home and shower; and get ready to go eat dinner with Heath, Casey and the boys. The boys had told us we were going to Freddy's for dinner. When Dean mentioned that; Heath said he told the boys they would probably not do Freddy's tonight, since it is a hamburger place. Dean said, But I like Freddy's! So that is where we went. We drive to their house, then all rode together in their car.
Dean loves their burgers, skinny fries and custard desserts. I had the hardest time ordering our food, but probably better than Dean would have. All of the employees had masks on. I could not hear anything the young lady at the register was saying to me, I had to stand to the side of the clear plastic panel between us and turn my ear toward her to have her repeat it. It was so noisy in there! Between the mask, the panel and the roar of people talking and laughing, calling out numbers, etc it was difficult to hear anything the young lady said. But the food was good as usual. After we finished our meals, we ordered custard desserts. It was great but I really blew my diet today. Oh well, back on it tomorrow!
We stayed and visited for an hour or two. I'm not really sure how long we stayed. Gideon is a lego master. He loves them and asks for them at Christmas and on his birthday - except when he is wanting a really expensive one - then he prefers money so he can purchase the one he wants. He makes up his own stuff and is very, very good at it. They have a new puppy Gemma, and we enjoyed the antics of her and their other older dog Jewel. It was fun to relax and visit with them all for the evening.
Once we returned home I set down. I like to play Free Cell sometimes in the evening when I'm tired. I think I slept more than I played. We were both tired from our busy, but fun day. We will head back to Oswego tomorrow morning.
