We got some coupons in the mail this week for the nearby IHOP Express. With the coupon if we buy two beverages and one entree, we can get the second entree free. We used one coupon this morning and each of us got a large coffee and the breakfast sampler, which consisted of scrambled eggs, hash browns, 2 pancakes, 2 sausages, 2 strips of bacon and 2 ssmall slices of ham. It was very good, but I only ate one of the pancakes as I was quite full by the time I got the rest eaten. I ended up bringing most of my coffee home.
I did my laundry this morning, then we went to some yard sales and ended up getting 2blouses and a skirt and blouse set for $6.
We had grilled cheese sandwiches for a late lunch.
This evening we went to Wendy's and had salads and coffee. I tried their new apple-pecan salad. Delicious. It's not often that we eat out twice in one day.
I went to bed at the usual time but just lay there unable to get to sleep, so I finally got up and turned the computer back on. Maybe after while I'll get sleepy and can go back to bed.
It was way up in the high 90's again today. I doubt that it got to 100, but it was extremely hot anyway.

A lazy Sunday
The August heat has arrived. It has been 100 degrees about all afternoon. When I opened the back door to let Precious outside, the heat hit me like a blast from opening an oven door. Needless to say, Precious didn't feel it necessary to stay outside for a very long time.
It is comfortable enough inside. We keep the air conditioning set on 81. A lot of people like to set it on 78, but it feels very cold to me indoors when it gets down to that tempeature.
When I got to church at 7 a.m. to open up, the thermostat in the sanctuary said 88. I turned it on and by the time the morning service started, it was comfortable in there. That is the reason I go in so early on Sundays. If I waited until closer to time for the service, it would still be hot in the sanctuary.
We went to Sea Island Shrimp House for lunch. I had two pieces of fish, two hush puppies, cole slaw and a small ear of corn. It was a nice dinner and almost more than I could eat. I should have brought part of the fish home. That, of course, called for an afternoon nap.
Then I read for awhile. I'm still reading At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon. That book has such long chapters. I didn't make it through the whole chapter before I put it down until later. My eyes burn if I read too long.
We had leftover spaghetti with meat sauce for supper, with cooked yellow squash. For dessert we had mince pie.
We played a couple of games of Mexican dominoes after supper.

This week has been a busy one at work and I have neglected my blogging.
This morning we went to Don Pedro's for a Mexican breakfast buffet. It was very good and the service was excellent.
We stopped at a yard sale on the way home and got a book.
Later I went to the veterinarian and got another 3-pk of Frontline Plus for Precious. I put one tube of it on her as soon as I got home.
I got a book in the mail today that I had ordered, Revolution, by George Barna.

On the way to work this morning I noticed that one of my tires was very low, so as soon as I got in the office I called AAA. They came out and changed the tire for me. This afternoon I will take the flat to be fixed. I'm glad I wasn't stranded out somewhere with it. I live only a few blocks from the office where I work.
