I think I've mentioned that each day this past week the forecast for the weekend had inched up another degree.  And here it is again, yet another degree hotter.  With 119 predicted, maybe we'll be be 'lucky' and hit 120?

The meteorologist on the news last night promised <g> that we're going to cool down after this week.  But folks, remember 'cool down' is a relative term!

It'll still be triple digits, but 'only' around 105;  to paraphrase him, "we don't call it hot until it's above 110!"

Since we live here, we've just gotta embrace summer.
Here to help with that is some of Robin's happy art!

Yesterday was a gleeful afternoon poolside.  With Lisa and Alex grown and gone, it's had a sad, neglected demeanor, but yesterday was like old days!

Neighbor Lisa came over with her two, and Summer brought her four plus the two she babysits.  (She's a brave woman; the ages of those six kiddos are approximately 2, 2, 4, 5,6, and 8!)  With the weather this hot, I assume we'll have more pool parties in the coming days.  :-)

Kids + Water = Great Recipe for Fun 

as long as there is 

plenty of adult supervision!
