Hot Walk

Mandy and I went walking with Ken late this morning - ostensibly just to Blueberry's for breakfast, and back home. But then we headed out on a mission, to find a replacement thermometer battery. The first three places we looked didn't have any, but we finally found one at Walgreens, after walking several extra miles in 95+ heat. Oh well, that gave us an excuse to stop at DQ for ice cream, and then later at Romancing the Bean for smoothies. We did finally get home alive, hours late! We realized early on we'd blown it, and fell back to plan B, take care of ourselves first. For Mandy that meant stopping at every shady grassy spot, and rolling around to cool off. She was pretty wiped out by the time we got to the light rail station. Here she is, resting on the bench beside me, as we enjoy our smoothies.
