LONG VERSION.
DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT FOR HUBBY. Got up early, groomed and out the door we went for the out of town adventure in a car that does not have air conditioning on a day that is suppose to stem up into the 80s. It would have been a great walking day at 70 degrees, but the appointment is a priority.
One of the car's tires needed some air. Aired the tire and drove to the nearest STARBUCKS for morning Iced Green Tea and a couple of egg bites to tide us over until a bigger meal can be eaten.
Parked the car under a shade tree and walked a bit to the appointment. Waiting in the Lobby, Hubby had his appointment.
While he was in for the appointment, I played on his phone trying to get some info about Marcia Upson who used to have Naturally Slim Health Program we did 7 years ago so we could get a better price on Health Insurance through Hubby's employment. I can't remember much about it. I know that they were not very big on nutrition, but were more in lines about eating when hungry.
She rebranded herself and I'll need to see what this is about. INSIGHTS WITH MARCIA. May be too new age for me.
Gwen Shamblin Lara focused on this theme as well and her program went down the tube as she became a spiritual leader in a cult church she created. Gwen died in a airplane crash along with her pilot husband, a son-in-law, and others from her church. Gwen had a very colorful past when she got involved with her second Husband, Tarzan. She divorced her first Husband and wed Tarzan, Joe Lara. For someone who disagreed with divorce, she changed her tune when she got involved with Joe. Now it was alright to divorce.
Back to Marcia. She had it made getting hooked up with Utility Companies and Universities that used her program. I regret doing this program when we did as my Father-in-law had passed and we should have been focusing on the grieving process and not Naturally Slim to get a discount on Health Insurance.
HUBBY and I discussed where to get our SALADS. McAlisters won out. Lunch was delicious.
From there I walked over to the Grocery Store in hopes of getting some arugula, cucumbers, almond milk, broccoli. They had Mountain Valley Spring Water in glass bottles. Had to buy some.
Went over to HOBBY LOBBY to get some art supplies such as a drawing board and markers. I will begin to draw for pleasure during the month of July. ONTO MENARDS for a battery for my car clicker.
There was a new THRIFT STORE spied so we went.
They just so happened to have a few pieces of VINTAGE BLUE WILLOW CHINA for a discounted price. Snatched these up.
GOODWILL ranked so I did a quick search for something thrifty. Found 3 cloth doll bodies that I will draw faces on and dress up as pioneer something or other.

HOMEWARD BOUND across the hot prairie. On the way, we stopped off at GRANDMA HOERNER'S just to look about. It's been awhile since I popped in there. 50% off of some pie filling for $3.oo in a glass jar.
🦬 The Buffalo/Bison were out grazing in the pasture so I detoured and parked the car on the dirt road to observe the herd. Massive creatures, but oh so beautiful they are.
🦬 Observing them takes me to a different time than 2025. More like 1825.
HOME we went, unloaded our spoils and are taking a break this afternoon. The HEAT has gotten to me. Takes the energy right out of me.
Stay hydrated and peace out on the Kansas Prairie,
~d🌸
