Folks, it is hot in here! I know I grew up in the desert, but when you have air conditioning the heat isn’t so bad. Our house does not have air conditioning. Well, that’s not totally true. We have a window unit in our dining room, but we are doing our best not to use it too often. However, I think we are going to have to cave this weekend -I worry about poor Molly. Not sure she can take the heat as well as we can.

We may be purchasing a little wading pool and cramming our family of four inside of it. I promise to take pictures should that occur.

Anyway, if you’re someplace where the heat wave is hitting I suggest laying out in front of a fan with a sno cone or iced beverage of some sort.

Stay cool!
