• I slept in some today, but when Robby mentioned a trip to Costco, I did jump up and get moving. I think that Bentley even understood the urgency because she was almost sprinting during our morning walk. Sometimes I have to convince her to keep going and drag her a few feet before she decides to join me. 
• I still cut my walk short so we could leave and run our errands. Campbell needs new costco leggings and the ones that I like are also from there, but I wasn't able to find either. We did fine some toilet paper, paper towels, and vitamins. None of those things are very exciting for sure.
• Then we ran to Kroger where I spent most time in line at the customer service trying to have them correct a price (I was overcharged 3 dollars) than we spent in the store. I was able to get my money back so all was well. I do remember the days when Kroger would give you the item for free if it rang up the wrong price-the good ole days.
• When we came home, the girls, Keaton's friend who spent the night, and Whitman all went to the movies. They had a good time-especially since the popcorn was plentiful. While they were gone, Graham and I started on his cheesecake. 
• I had not properly read the recipe-I knew it would bake for a little bit, but I had no idea that it would bake on a very low temperature for an hour and a half. Then it said do not open the oven for a few hours afterwards to prevent cracking. I had things to do-I waited over an hour, but once I saw a crack in that cheesecake, I opened up that oven and took it out. (I know officially cheesecakes should not have a crack in them, but actually it does not change the flavor at all.)
• The movie goers came home, and Reagan headed to pickleball while I took Keaton's friend home. Campbell drove us home, and once at home she showered while Keaton and I picked up the bonus room. Then Campbell made 2 recipes of no bake cookies-one turned out and the other didn't.
• Soon Reagan and her people came back to the house. I had cheese dip ready, but when I went to get the cheese for grilled cheese, I was surprised to see that we didn't really have any cheese! Robby ran to the Dollar General and picked us up some and all was well.
• While he was gone, I did check my email to see that Anderson had won a little scholarship. That made the cheese craziness all better-we just need about 19 more of those scholarships! 
• I fed all of the people-Reagan's 5 extra plus everyone here-so supper tonight for 13 while setting the tables for over 20 tomorrow. I worked in the kitchen for most of the night, but now I am about to scoop Robby some ice cream and do a little more prep for tomorrow.
