Home sweet home again. We left Iowa at 8:45 this morning and got to KC by 2:00. Nicole made record time. I80 is not a fun highway as it is very crowded with semi trucks and is narrow. When we hit an open patch Nicole would stretch her legs and just happen to hit the gas pedal. She got the car up to 102 MPH once and over 90 a couple of times. She was anxious to get home. It was fun to ride in a powerful car.
We went out for a beer with Chris’s step dad last night when he was done with his family obligations. Then we had breakfast with him this morning before we left for home. He was very grateful Nicole had come to pay her respects to him.
When we got to KC we went to Costco to get our membership cards. I can’t say I was impressed with their service. Nicole had purchased the new membership at her office when a representative of Costco had come to an employee meeting. Evidently the person who sold her the new membership didn’t handle it properly and the people at the store didn’t like that. Instead of dealing with their own employees screw up they tried to make Nicole take responsibility for the way their employee handled it.
After I dropped Nicole off at her house I went to Sprouts to pick up a few things for the retreat that is happening in a week. I also priced some fish to see how much it will cost if we decide to serve it. I grabbed a bite to eat and headed home.
Always good to get home. When I got home I found the Pioneer Bluffs Newsletter material was on my dining room tables. I will get it collated and stuffed this weekend. I only have one of four boxes of envelopes to stuff it in though as the other three boxes didn’t get printed yet. I have until Monday morning so have plenty of time to get that project done.
I think summer has arrived a couple of weeks early. It is to be in the low 90’s for the next couple of days. I’m trying to not lower my thermostat below 78. I lowered the blinds in the living room to help reduce the amount of heat from the sun coming in. I will need to slow down if I want to keep the thermostat that high. The basement is nice and cool so if I get too hot I will go downstairs.
Not sure why I am so tired tonight. All I have done today is sit in a car. I slept fairly good last night. Sure feel like I could go to bed right now and sleep until morning. Maybe I will catch a second wind and get something done yet tonight.
Enjoying the quiet and beauty of my home tonight. Going to watch the full moon rise and dance in the light of the moon later. All is well on the prairie!
