Yup, been a scorcher here too.
But we're supposed to get a reprieve starting tomorrow.
Fingers crossed.

How was the visit with family?

[MoochPooch]

Hi Beach, Hi Kathy. (Gut Shabbos!)

[beachn4fun]

Hey Night owl

Looking forward to cooler temps headed our way.

Going next week to hang out with oldest son for a few days, so we’ll be doing some packing on Sunday. Then a short break of a week; then, we start our vacation to Michigan.

How your family visit?

THIRD and A HALF
Good evening Canteen Vamp ((HUGS))
Did you get some rain? Cooler yet?
The rain earlier missed us
but there may be another chance after we go to bed.

[beachn4fun]

Good evening, Mooch ((HUGS))
Gut Shabbos right back atcha!

[radu]

Howdy, beachie! *HUGZ*

No rain here but it JUST missed me on both sides. Some to the east and some to the west. All that did was make the humidity jump. UGH! It wasn’t quite as hot as the past couple of days but it was plenty hot.

At the moment, it doesn’t look like either of us has a great shot at some rain. Maybe we’ll get lucky before the night is over though.

[beachn4fun]

Sounds like my area was similar to yours: rain to east of me; rain to the west of me.
Supposed to be a chance later tonight.
I just hope we finally get those cooler temps.

[beachn4fun]

Time for me to hit the hay.
Please hang around and chat with others.

To all of our Awesome military, our Allies, and their families
THANK YOU
We keep the Canteen open for you.

I'll play catch up in the morning.

Good night.

[Huskrrrr]

Thanks, gang. It is so important to remember and honor our military. 🤗🤗🤗

[radu]

Those temps are reeeeeeeeally looked forward to!

I can see where the front is on the radar but there’s no solid line of rain. It’s very broken up.
We could sure use some rain around here. It’s very dry and things are starting to turn brown.
