I went to a play Saturday night. Erica, Danny’s dog sitter, had gone on Thursday and she told me about it on Friday. Pageant Wagon Players put on a production of The Ballad of Maggie Maloney. It was held at Erica’s church. The actors were young people between the ages of 14 and perhaps 20. They attended or recently graduated from the Christian School and St. Augustine’s Academy. I hesitated to go by myself but I didn’t want to stay home either. When I walked in the door, I saw my friends from Nature Club sitting in the front so I went up and sat with them. It was an excellent play. They put one on every summer. I hope to go next year.

Work went well. My supervisor, Linda, had meetings all day so I was on my own. I had lots of filing to do and some people came in needing help. If I don’t know the answer, I know who I can call to find out. Everyone if very nice. Anna stopped in to say “Hello.” I worked with her a couple years ago at the Bridgeton Division.

I stopped at the Mennonite Farm Market and got some peaches and a cantaloupe. The cantaloupe smelled delicious but was disappointing. The part nearest the seed area was very sweet but it was only a thin layer and the rest was tasteless. I got some Cole slaw at Kentucky Fried on my way to Pep Boys. I need a headlight and wanted them to install it which they did. From there, I went to pick up my Boy; my Danny Boy. He was happy to see me.

I changed my clothes and took him for a walk. He walked a short way, did his business and immediately wanted to go back home. I guess he didn’t like the heat.

I gave him his dinner and I fixed some yellow zucchini, corn on the cob, and made a salad of a fresh Jersey tomato, the Cole slaw and some cheese. I had the disappointing melon for dessert. I should have had a Klondike Bar.

I waited until 7:30 to trim the hedge. I thought it would be cooler. It was hotter than ever. The humidity was oppressive. I divided the job in half. I’ll do the other half tomorrow. I couldn’t wait for the weekend or cooler weather because it would be out of control. The rain made it grow.

I’ve cooled down now and will be taking Danny out soon.
