We had to ride back home to get his wallet.
We stopped in Elgin for B12 shots and just made our 11:00 A.M. appointment at Champion.
They finished our van, but the oil light was still on.
Hubby went back inside and told them they had forgotten to reset the oil.
The woman came out and tried; she said the floor mat was too close to the gas pedal and was not letting it reset.

There is a concrete walkway around the reshaped lagoon, where the water flows, allowing it to clean itself.
There are park benches along the walkway, but no trees (so it will be hot during the summer).
You can walk right up to the water's edge. We saw children leaning into the pond, feeding the goldfish and ducks.
We walked along the water's edge, and the fish and ducks followed us.
I saw a young man feeding the fish.
I mentioned that I was going to buy some food, but my husband didn't have any change.
The young man gave me a quarter. I thanked him, and I bought a quarter's worth of seeds.
The fish and ducks gobbled up the food.

We were home a little after 5 P.M.
My granddaughter had been texting me all day, wanting to know when we were going to come home.
My granddaughter, her daughter, and a friend came over around 5:30 P.M. to swim.
I did not get into the pool because I was too tired.
