Saturday 20th July

Although it is the 3rd Saturday I didn't go to the AARP meeting this morning, I'll ring Phyllis tomorrow to see how it went.  I joined Cecil and Louise, and the Kiwanis district governor, and three others for a Kiwani's district meeting at a restaurant in Shawnee.  I was surprised there were so few of us, but I expect people have lots of other things to do on Saturday mornings.

After lunch I conceived the lunatic idea of going to a supermarket where they had melons on special offer.  The heat had fried my brains before I got there, and I got out of car without making any mental note of where it was parked.   I nearly DIED of heat exhaustion walking up and down the lines of cars.    And when I got home Kevin was cutting my grass.   He said he didn't mind the heat, he likes it.

I went home to recover before venturing out to Staples this evening for a new cartridge for my printer.  I find every time I need a new cartridge it is harder and harder to find, and I was totally unable to today.   I just hope I have better luck online.   I can't believe my perfectly good printer, which isn't even old,  has become obsolete.

I went from Staples to Walmart, and they didn't have any either.  
But while I was in Walmart I photographed this rubbish....I wondered when it would be coming.

I took this picture because I think it illustrates just how much grilling and bbq'ing is part of the culture here.   I wouldn't even know where to go to buy one at home.

And the week ahead............
