Time has gone gone gone, I didn't realize I hadn't posted in a couple of days - sorry guys.  I'll try to make improvements and post EVERY day - I promise.  Guess what, it's 95 degrees with "feels Like" temperatures of 102 - and boy does it feel like it.  I can't believe how hot hot hot our pre-summer weather has been.  I look forward every day to a break but we haven't had one.  Last night football conditioning got cancelled due to the "feels like" temps and dehydration.  Looks like we're going to have to shift to something other then field exercise or at least move to a shady area so the boys & coachs don't have so much heat exposure.  Actually we have been staying in most of the afternoons and watching movies - it is simply TO HOT to go outside.

Dad is doing his normal - reading & watching TV, he doesn't feel the heat because he never goes outside.  We actually come home from the gym and do nothing aside from laying in the bed & watching a movie.  Yesterday we had a terrible wind/rain storm it lasted about 45 minutes - about 2-3" of rain and winds that blew out some of the power lines.  Thanks God we have the self starting generator that will pull "EVERYTHING" in the house we don't experience what a lot of people do when the "lights go out".  I think the electric was out about 3 1/2 hours yesterday I'm thankful for our back-up.

We're having the generator moved after July 4th weekend so Pat & I have a few things to do to prepare for the electrician.  I think his plans are to get moving early AM before the sun actually sets in and finished about 8-8:30 AM so we don't have to endure the heat.  I actually can't remember such a brutal pre-summer I hope it's not indicative of the entire summer.  If so, that means we'll probably have storms as well.  Oh well guess we're in the holding pattern to see what's in store for us.

Pat pulled his first tomatoe yesterday and ate it with some fresh basil out of the garden & a nice cubanella pepper with olive oil & seasoning WOW was it great.  Looks like we're going to pull a few more today - they are really tasty wish we could share some of them & the squash with you guys.  Have to take some to the gym tomorrow (squash) for some of the members I know they'll enjoy them like we do.

Okay, I'll close & check on my load of laundry.  Promise to blog later today or tomorrow.  We love & miss everyone.  Stay inside - stay cool.

Hugs,

Patty
