I Was Only Kidding

Last post, I said it was the end of summer. It's not the end of summer...I was only kidding! Yesterday, (late afternoon/early evening) it was so hot we sat outdoors, in the shade, with wet washcloths on our necks and eating popsicles! We talked about going to the beach, but it was a little late in the afternoon for that, so Micah came up with the idea of playing a water game instead. We had an invitation for lunch after church and had a lovely time with two Riverbend families. Micah enjoyed playing in a beautiful swimming pool with two other boys and six girls. But, all good things must come to an end. We really hated to leave. Arriving home in the late afternoon, we thought the temperature in the house would be relatively bearable, since it had been closed up all day. We were wrong! Ugh, we nearly died (was about 90+ in our house)! It hasn't been cooling down at night, either. In fact, a number of folks at church told me that they hadn't slept the last few nights because it's been so hot. That's certainly true for us too...less sleep, more sweat and definitely more skeeter bites.

Otherwise, things are great around here!
