Today was the hottest so far this summer. The temps were in the low 90's with very high humidity. We got up even earlier this morning, but it was still very warm for walking--the rest of the week is suppose to be more of the same.

Our friends the Sandwicks (from Fort Clark and Bagley) are back in town for a month or so. They had called yesterday and we made a date to get together this morning. We had a nice visit which lasted well into the early afternoon. There was much news about folks and travels to share. We are all looking forward to another Fort Clark visitor arriving later this week--our good friend Ralph.

Since it was so hot, we decided to take the afternoon and head to Bemidji for some shopping in the nice air conditioned stores. Our first stop was Wal Mart to restock groceries and pick up some new pot holders and other kitchen items. From there we headed to, you guessed it, Burger King, for Whopper Jr's and diet cokes. After a quick stop at the gas pump, we headed back home where we unloaded the car and got the groceries put away. We spent a quiet evening watching a couple of good TV mysteries.
