Good morning from sunny, hot, Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. We didn't break records yesterday like they thought we would, but it did get up to 92 F. We're expecting 93 today. I have my A/C on. If you know me, that's not normal, so it's hot! Yesterday was a nice relaxing day. After church, I watched my shows and a couple of movies - Escape to Witch Mountain and Mary Poppins on Disney +. It's been a busy day already this morning. I slept in. I was surprised to open my eyes and see it was after 5 AM. I got over 8 hours of sleep. After my Bible study this morning, I got my shower and went downstairs for the exercise group. Yes, we had it this morning. There was only one person not there. I got down there early enough that I put in 3 miles on the bike before I started the tape for the exercise class. They wanted the short one. So, I got 9 miles this morning on the bike. I also walked 1.5 floors. I was wiped and came back for breakfast, also late this morning. I'm just finishing it. Plans for today - nothing more than getting my steps. It's a holiday and I'm going to take full advantage of it. Of course, I will be here with you and work on a book or two. So, I guess, I'm not doing more than my usual. Instead of walking outside, I'll walk inside. The good news today is I lost 2 pounds since yesterday. I didn't cook other than breakfast and stopped at the store on the way home and bought salads for the holiday weekend. That's what's happening here. How's your day going? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

Was it the original Escape to Witch Mountain, from, I think, the 1980s? I loved that version, but I haven’t seen the remake.

@just4him I think The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) is in the remake. I loved the original too much to bother with the newer version.

@AmbiePam I haven't seen The Rock yet. It's with Sean Connery, isn't it?

I sewed some overgrown branches from our trees in the garden. Got rid of weeds and in the afternoon I did some home work.

@just4him It means that I made a typo, I sawed off branches.

@LadyDuck Okay, that makes more sense. I tried to figure it out but didn't think of sawed.

What do you mean you sewed overgrown branches in the garden? You were busy.

Both of those movies are really good. I like the classic original versions the best.

@RubyHawk The only time I totally relax is when I watch TV.

Thank you. I was surprised. I won't be eating much more than I did yesterday. Not in this heat.

Sorry about the heat, I would trade weather today...would take the 90s over what we have. Sounds like good plans for the day, busy start to it for sure.

I was outside for a couple of minutes, long enough to go to my neighbors and give their dog a treat, and came back. It's hot! Yes, it was busy.

@MommyOfEli2013 Most of my Vitamin D comes from supplements. I don't like spending time outside in summer when it's so hot. I'm sorry it feels cold today.

@just4him Sorry that you don't enjoy the heat, but that's good to get a little vitamin D! We went out go get our lunch and it is so windy today and cooler that it actually feels cold! Busy can be good though, sometimes lol
