More Dog Days of Summer

Got hot again today, it's 101 right now at 6:18 PM.  I had hoped to show you pictures of the annual Leavenworth County Fair Parade, but when I went out to do chores at five, I was overcome by the heat.  I think I hadn't eaten enough today. You see, at work I snacked off and on all day, so my blood sugar stayed up... at home, I forget to stop and eat anything!  I had had some cereal, but really needed more in my stomach.  Keith was good enough to finish up outside, while I came in and made some burgers.  Tomorrow it is going to be much cooler out, and I will go down to the fair with a friend.  Keith is there right now, skipping the parade, and jawing with some friends who are working it who are emergency managers like himself.

So basically, except for doing water three times, the dogs and I stayed in today:


The Big Fella is not moving around much these days, and I am very worried about him.  His crooked muzzle is really evident in this picture, isn't it?


Gert preferred the bed in between the loveseat and recliner.  Love the little pink tongue sticking out.


Do you sense a theme here?  The pillows are actually for the dogs, but the throw is for me. 

I need to take a lesson from them and slow down!

Good friend and neighbor Kathy will feed and water for us on Friday and Saturday, so we can go to Iowa to meet Keith's parents at the Fair, and then spend the night with them in Ames.  We are so excited, we have not been away together overnight for five years!   I can't wait!
