So we had places to go and things to do, the first stop was to PetSmart to look at aquariums to replace or 10 gallon tank. Our tank is a couple years old and our fish need a bigger home. We've had to move our male betta out to heal up from being attacked. Saw some aquariums, but nothing said "buy me now."
We went to Target next. I had to see the Pharmacist about getting the second half of K's medication. He'd left a vm while we were at PetSmart, so he was expecting us. Got word that the Walgreen's down the street had the script waiting for us, but we did some shopping at Target before leaving.
Had a coupon for $3 off a $25 or more purchases of groceries, and we had to look a while for $25 worth of food since there's quite a few things I will not buy at Target. But we found enough food and bought some things that we needed.
We left for real groceries that were at Dot's Market in Bellbrook. We buy all our meat there. Never heard of them having a meat recall like Sam's and Kroger, plus they don't use Pink Slime.
Since we were in the neighborhood, we stopped at Dairy Shed. I prefer Dixie Dairy Dreem. The chocolate from my dipped cone was like syrup and dripped a puddle upon reception. B got the brunt of the mess as it was handed to me while she was standing by my feet. A lot of ugly kids were staring about, which hadn't been a concern when were ate at Dixie where most people use the drive thru.
We made our way to Walgreen's upon returning towards home. It was a nice and easy in and out stop.
Got home, and made dinner using the items we got from Target and Dot's. Cheaper than eating at Steak'n Shake, but most things are cheaper when you fix them yourself and don't have to leave a tip.

Dixie Dairy Dreem
Yesterday, J was hot front not having working A/C, so we went for ice cream.
Normally, we go to Bellbrook and get Dairy Shed, but J had a coupon for Dixie Dairy Dreem, which is also a bit closer to us.
I've driven by Dixie Dairy Dreem hundreds of times, but never thought I'd ever stop there. It's in Moraine, and we never really go to Moraine because it's essentially a wasteland ever since GM left. With the decent jobs gone, so has much of the area.
Even without the coupon, Dixie Dairy Dreem was reasonable on prices. J said it was better tasting than Dairy Queen, but not quite as good as Dairy Shed.I don't care. I like ice cream, but I don't discern much difference between vanilla dipped in chocolate between the three places.
Today, it was MUCH warmer than yesterday. We had the A/C replaced in the afternoon, but the house took a while to cool down.
The Sycamore Trails Aquatic Center was having Twilight Family Fun Night, so I was dragged by J, K, & B to the pool. I don't like pools, but I don't mind S.T.A.C., since it's very close and I can walk home if the situation merited it.
K & I did the water slide in a two-person raft a couple times. Then I hung with B while K went diving with J. Mostly calm and relaxing just keeping an eye on B. K went to the sand area, and the three of us stayed in the shallow area. Eventually we all went to the sand area.
It got darker, and K wanted concessions. I said to him that the money was in the J's purse which was in a locker, but K still went to look. Seeing the prices, I told him that Dixie Dairy Dreem was much cheaper. I said as much to J, so we left for DDD before it closed at ten.
