The FReeper Canteen Presents.....
"Christmas in July" There's nothing like a few days of blistering 100 degree temperatures to make us wistful for the frosty months of winter. Throw in some high humidity and zero air movement and suddenly shoveling snow, navigating icy sidewalks and bundling up in layers of sweaters, scarves and jackets sounds like a mighty fun time.
It's hot, you're sweaty and longing for some relief from the heat, aren't you? And while thinking about winter, you're probably also dreaming of all those snowy nights of Christmas celebrations? Well, you can't actually change the season now, but the closest you can get to doing so is reduce the time left for Christmas and celebrate it now, in July. That's what many are doing year after year. An unofficial holiday, Christmas in July imitates the festivities of the actual Christmas and signifies our yearning for the coolness of winter amid the scorching summer months.
Soooo......krank up those A/C's, don your favorite sweater & let's all have some hot chocolate!

Thanks, Connie, for the tributes to our troops. *hugs*
Can you fry an egg on the sidewalk?
We have fires everywhere but the closest to us had a wind shift yesterday and the smoke blew into the city and our offices. But today we got some really good rain. I’ll be interested to hear the fire report tonight or tomorrow.

Howdy there, PRO!!!
Sounds like you’re wound up tonight. LOL!
I wouldn’t call it partying but yes, we’re back from our Fri. night out. Just eating, yakking with a couple of friends, and Hubby had a couple of beers. I just drink Coke so I drive home to keep trouble at bay. :-)
Sure would be nice if you could shoo some of that cooler weather this way. We’re roasting and there’s no break in it for another week. Temps in the upper 90s with a heat index over 100. UGH!
You have more plans for the weekend than we do. Our plans are to stay inside. I’ll visit Hubby’s aunt Sunday and that’s it.

Howdy, LUV!
Pretty boring day other than the couple of hours with friends tonight. Too durn hot to think about doing anything outside.
Did you have a lazy day off or did you get out and do something fun?

Well Pooey!
But it is getting late, isn’t it? I’ve been trying to catch up on emails and didn’t realize it’s as late as it is.
Good night and sleep well. Have fun playing with the pooches tomorrow.
