John and I headed north after breakfast and a little more visiting with Amy and the boys. The weather remained very hot and humid all the way to home. We made our usual stops in Watertown, SD, for lunch at Culver's, and one more for gas over the state line into Minnesota.

Our house was warm and stuffy when we arrived home, so the first thing we did was to crank up the AC. In an hour or so, it was nice and comfortable inside again. JD was still here working in the shop and asked John if he would work tomorrow as he received more orders and still needs to get ready for the wholesale market.

One goal for the rest of this week is to get the painting finished. After supper we removed the trim around the windows and I emptied the china cabinet so we can move it away from the wall. We are doing this wall a darker color, and that's the one I want to do next. The rest of our evening was spent catching up on emails, snail mail, and watching a little TV.
