I’m keeping my fingers crossed, too, for y’all. Your power grid’s already proven to be iffy.

I’m praying our AC holds up through this heat wave. It’s getting a workout and it’s several years old. I’d hoped the intense heat would move out after this week but it’ll continue through next Wednesday, at least. We’ll “cool off” this weekend to 90, then back up to temps close to 100 again. *sigh*

I’m going to starting whining like you for winter pretty soon. LOL

I can’t believe y’all are having the same kind of heat that we have been having. With humidity added on top of it. Ugh.

We’ve decided to go see the kids in about a week. It’s very hot there too, with your humidity. You might be able to hear my whining without getting online. LOL!

Thank you Ma’am, hot day today but I’m not complaining yet.
That comes in August LOL! Long days and nights here,
but I am getting good rest.

The waiting on parts continue continues so I am fixing
things and maintenance too. Keeping busy anyway.

I can’t believe we’re having the same kind of heat either! LOL We’re long overdue for it, though, and I kinda expected it when I saw that the sun woke up. It’s been pretty nekkid the past few years and now it’s covered with sunspots.

Neat that you’re going to visit the kids. I’m glad they moved close enough you can see them more than once a year.
But wait’ll you feel your heat with our humidity! LOL

Oh, I can reeeeeeally wait for that. I’ve been there, done that in GA and didn’t like it then. LOL! We lived south of Macon. There were alligators on the flightline at the AFB there in Warner Robbins. :) Meaning....swamps nearby.

But as he said last night when he was trying to talk us into coming today because of the water problem, they DO have really great air conditioning at their house. No, we didn’t go because I couldn’t get a cat sitter that quick. And hubby has obligations at church.

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

I hope you and Gizmo had decent weather for your outing at the lake yesterday.

Ugh! Southern GA can be brutal, no doubt. I’m as far south as I can stand for summers and it’s plenty warm here.

Really great AC is enticing but not nearly as enticing as seeing all of them again. :-) I know you’re looking forward to that!

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...hope the heat isn’t so bad you and Gizmo can’t get out for adventures. I’ll bet he enjoys walking in the lake.

Hope you aren’t getting the same heat that luvie and radu are suffering.

You boys have a great Thursday.

I sure am. Just hope my friend can feed and water the kitties for me that week. She’s not the easiest person to get in touch with on the planet.

I think I’ll go a bit “early” tonight. I didn’t have much of a nap and didn’t sleep well last night. I think I feared flushing when I wasn’t supposed to. LOL! See ya tomorrow!

To: luvie

You’d better start calling your friend first thing tomorrow. No point in planning to head out next week if you can’t get in touch with her or she can’t feed the kitties. I hope it all works out.

Get some sleep tonight. All’s well once again.
Catch ya Saturday.

It’s been lovely here...a little hot, but I am used to that.

Tippy is learning simple commands like “Heel”, “Come”, “Stop”, “Sit” ans “Bring it”.

She is having a harder time with “Drop it” and “Stay”.

I perceive a pattern here. :-)

My Garden looks great! Mostly herbs and flowers this year.

Howdy, EGC! ((hugs)) Looks like you and Gizmo had a fun time at the lake. He says: "Whew, man! It's hot out here!"

I texted her last night. She said she’d “check her calendar and get back to me”. At 8am this morning. LOL! Clock’s ticking, friend.

Yeah...see ya Saturday not today. I forgot.

Hey there, Early Birds!
This "bird" gets up later and later it seems. LOL!
Aren't our troops simply the best?
We should honor them every chance we get.
Which is what we DO in the Canteen!
All y'all have a Thank-The-Troops Thursday!
And non-stormy weather to go with it.
(((hugs)))
