At my pet store they were hosting a special day to raise awareness of the greyhounds that have been rescued from abusive breeders at racetracks. The rescue people brought about 10 greyhounds into the store and let people pat them and get to know the dogs. It was an enlightening moment for me. I fell in love with one of the brown females. If I had a fenced back yard, there is no doubt in my mind that I would have brought her home with me on the spot.
This heat is really wearing me out. There has been no break in these high temperatures all summer. I do not remember when was the last time the daily high was under 90 degrees. I sure do appreciate my air conditioning this year.
Years ago, movie night meant it was Friday night and that a bunch of us were going to meet up at the theater after work to watch a new release on the big screen. Then if became the night that my boyfriend and I reserved for a date each week, with a quick dinner at a casual restaurant and a late movie at the theater.
Now it means a quick stop at the gas station or drug store to rent a $1 movie from the Redbox vending machine. I’ll watch the movie on my TV in bed and munch on a bowl of popcorn that I make in the microwave.
Times sure do change.
The grocery store had bottled coke products on sale, so I stocked up today. I had to buy 4 cases of soda, so I decided to try the new flavor, Cherry Sprite. It was a bargain at 4 cases for $10, so I went for it. Even if I don’t like it, which I’m pretty sure I will, I can always give it to the kids to drink as a treat.
