Is it hot out? No, it’s pretty much gone to the broiling point. Birds have stopped singing, my flowers are shriveling, the lawn is browning and I’m itching. It must be August. June? It can’t be happening already! After a perfectly gorgeous spring with lots of rain, we are in the not-so-enjoyable days of summer.
What made it worse was that our air-conditioning also quit. Each year, our goal is to see how many days in the spring and fall we can go without turning on the air-conditioning or the heat. This past year has been fairly fantastic from that standpoint. We had several months with nothing on…and we were actually pretty comfortable. So, when the weather showed triple digits on the way, we finally turned on the air…and there wasn’t any!
Yes, they were able to do a quick fix and we now have cooler temps inside than outside our back door. But the long-term solution is going to be into the thousands. Such is life.
By the way…has anyone really ever tried to fry an egg on the sidewalk? I always thought that would be fun to experiment with. But the price of eggs now…well, maybe not so interested. Stay cool!

Once Upon a Time...there was this crazy woman that wanted to share her life with others. THAT'S what my five children would say. In reality I'm persistent, a little OCD, (not diagnosed, again, what my family would tell people), stubborn and probably bossy. I don't really prefer that last moniker, but I do think that MY way is usually the best way! Cuddly, loving and patient, probably not the best adjectives in my description, but God is still working on me! I've been married for thirty-two years. The wrinkled, gray-haired people that need to lose a few pounds are NOT the same people that wed all those years ago. I don't know when they arrived. But they produced five wonderful children. Three daughters are married to equally wonderful young men, our son is waiting for that special girl and our youngest is still at home. She will be the one to care for us in our old age. Having your last baby at forty sets you up for cutting up your child's meat while receiving the senior discount. Our fifth grandchild has arrived and we are looking forward to many more. We have moved many times over the years, giving me lots of opportunities to fix-up, inside and out. But my concrete laying days are over and I'm very excited to be writing books. I now have five books in print with five more in the works. You may keep up with me here, on my Amazon author page or through my Facebook group page and author page. I don't have all the answers, but I promise to be open and real. No candy-coating here! Thank you for reading this far. You receive a gold star! ;)
