Scheduled Morning

Hello, First things, first. We ate breakfast, went out and delivered the last of the neighborhood newsletters. By the time we were done it was starting to feel hot and sticky. We had made a list of tasks the night before. We had planned to water plants at church in the afternoon because the person who would let us in on a Saturday was not there in the morning. Before we were done with our walk, she texted to say that she had come in early and we could come anytime. We decided that the morning was a good time to do our other errands. Riding our bikes, we set off for the post office to mail our visa application for November trip to Turkey. I had a little trouble keeping up with Leroy. He is definitely in better shape for this activity. We wanted to be sure that we had enough postage on the letter as it involved several papers. From there it was a ride to drop off some sneakers that one of the running shoe stores ships off somewhere. I found that part of the ride a bit scary as we were on a somewhat narrow street that had cars parked on both sides. I complained to Leroy when we stopped at the store. I like to be able to have my old stuff be used some way rather than put them in the garbage. A bit farther in the same neighborhood was the bike shop. Leroy had listened to me so we took a path/alley that was less traveled. At the bike shop, I was able to get a shorter height stem so I do not bend over so much when riding. I was impressed that it could be accomplished in about ten minutes, so we just waited. After that we rode back to the church to call our door opener and water plants. By this time, we were both sweating quite a lot. After the watering was done, Leroy went in to fill the containers for the next day. We finally put the bikes in the building so I could spend a little time indoors too. The temperature was 95 degrees F. when we got home. It apparently felt like 112 with the humidity. We did have a water bottle so we could drink and not get dehydrated. It was great to know that our afternoon could be spent at home in the air-conditioned place. What a luxury! Paula
