Hello. I'm just getting settled in after going to church. Having hot dogs. Weiners in the oven. No bread in the house so I'll just slice them open and put in a little cheese to melt, then dunk each bite in mustard. Wish I had some potato salad and baked beans. I'll have to look for something else to go with them.
Squirrel, what a relief for you to have the rain gone for now! I hope it doesn't get too hot.
Kat, I'm impressed with how steadfast you are with your walking, in all kinds of weather. Reminds me of President Truman. I read a biography of him one time and it said he always took his walk in the mornings, come rain or come shine. Do you go around a block or do you not have blocks in your area?
Lil0, the cooler temperatures will sure make things feel better but I know it doesn't stop the fire threat. We have some of our worst grass fires in the winter here. I've kept a closer eye on the northeast lately because my son's family has been parked in Oregon for several weeks but now they moved on up to Washington. I don't know anything about the geography of those states but they must be not too far from Olympia because they had to take their youngest son, age 2 1/2, there to an ER there over the weekend.
When they were getting ready to move, they had leaned the heavy tripod thing that helps support the 5th wheeler part of their camper against the pickup truck, while they were loading their bicycles and other stuff. The little guy loves to help with everything so he was right in there, when the tripod fell, knocking him down. It busted his lip and hit his hand and smashed it against the asphalt. His thumb was broken, and there were a couple of cracked bones in his hand. Now he has a cast for 4-6 weeks.
Last night I was surprised to get 0.7" of rain. It came down hard and in a hurry. I found out at church that nobody else in the community got enough to measure. I think I just got the southwestern edge of the thunderstorm.
