Cool, cool change

We finally have a/c again!! Many, many, many thanks to our friends who put up with our calls of "urgency" every two to three years. Our unit has a tiny pinhole freon leak, so every two to three years it needs recharging. They are always so willing to come and help us out and only ask enough to cover the cost of the freon. God bless them!! I can't tell you how HAPPY I am to feel the cool again!! Our house is still 85 degrees, but it is slowly cooling down. It was 87, humid and sticky! At least now the air is dryer. The outdoor's temp today was 95!

Last night was horrid, trying to sleep. The house had to have been around 87 degrees when we went to bed. We tried to sleep with three fans blowing on us, but there was little relief. Finally sleep came for me around 2:00 this morning. Tonight will be pure bliss!

Now maybe I can get some things done that I've been needing and wanting to do! The kids should do better, too. Poor little things.

I keep thinking about how, when I was growing up, we didn't have a/c. But then, I didn't grow up in the hot, sticky South, where summer lasts 9 out of 12 months! And, in South Dakota, the wind blows almost daily, so there's always a breeze blowing through the house. Plus I was much younger and lighter and non-menopausal.

Anyhoo, I am a happier camper than when I woke up this morning. I look forward to bedtime and blankets!

    Happy to hear you're cool again! Oh,how I hate hot weather. The older I get the more I hate it. I shouldn't complain since here in RI we only have a few months of heat. We usually stay in the upper 70's to lower 80's for most of the summer. We have a couple of really dreadful patches of 90's with high humidity. Give me fall any day.

    I know what you mean, Jo. Of all the places to live, I had to choose the hot, sticky South!! Of course, I was much younger when I decided to leave the freezing cold North. I just don't do summers anymore. I love the 70's and 40's -- that's perfect weather for me. Maybe that's what heaven will be like! :)

"Something of Historic Proportion is Happening"

"Something of Historic Proportion is Happening" by Pam Geller This takes a couple minutes to read -- but it will be the most important couple minutes you can imagine. No matter what your political position, this is information you NEED to know. This was not written by some political hack -- check out her credentials at the end of the article. ___________________________________ "Something of Historic Proportion is Happening" I am a student of history. Professionally. I have written 15 books in six languages, and have studied it all my life. I think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is just a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes, these exist but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus. Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to ...

Needing more prayers

My beautiful niece was in a car accident last night along with her boyfriend. Both were badly hurt and are in need of your prayers. I just talked with Alonna. They are getting ready to take her into surgery to repair the damage done to her face. One side was pretty messed up. Sounds like she's in for some extensive surgery. I didn't ask her how her boyfriend is doing, but it sounds like he got hurt even worse than did she but is expected to be okay. Alonna is my baby brother's only child. Please pray for a speedy recovery for both kids. I'll let you know how they progress. Thank you so much.
