Mom and I drove over to Dierberg's supermarket yesterday morning and had a successful shopping outing in the enormous store. We enjoyed walking and talking among the aisles, almost as though we were simply out for a walk and were incidentally picking up groceries along the way. It was a pleasant experience, made even more so by the coridal behavior of the middle-aged and very professional checkout person.
In the late afternoon, we enjoyed a delicious meal at Steak 'n' Shake. The restaurant was refreshingly cool and our amiable waitress made everything completely comfortable for us. It was one of the best Steak 'n' Shake meals I've ever had, starting far back in the '50's.
Yesterday evening, Al, Mary Anne, Maura, Mikey, and I went to Larson Park for a performance by Gracie and her friends from the week-long Drama Camp. It was, we later agreed, one of the hottest outdoor experiences of our entire lives. As the children performed the little skits -- whispering their lines and giggling and bouncing around frenziedly -- we all silently perspired in the windless, roasting air. Grace was thrilled with the evening's activities, and we were made happy by her joy, but we couldn't get out of their fast enough and back to the luxury of air-conditioning.
