The dog day of summer...

...are upon us. Seriously, 90+ with a heat index over 100 every single days this week! The hottest summer in 22 years. But I bet they didn't blame it on global warming 22 years ago! The poor man is just beat at the end of the day. Like a giant glob of flesh plopped in the chair. I feel bad for him :-(

Da mama got to have her pick taken out! She said, "I'm free!" Hooray! Now she can be on antibiotics indefinitely?

Amish country was interesting. The arts and crafts festival was nice, but no Amish stuff. That was a little disappointing. But we did have a delicious home cooked meal for lunch. It was wonderful. On the drive in, we ran into (well, not literally) several buggies and Amish bicyclers. Lots of farms and gardens. Only one line of telephone poles ~ old style;

I can't really imagine that kind of lifestyle. I'm sure some of them are a little more modern than others, but still. No way man.

Tonight, Mom and I are going to spend a couple hours at Hobby Lobby. I'm not sure she believed me when I said I want to walk up and down every single isle of the new store. I hope she's ready! I can't wait.

Tomorrow, we'll finish up some chores for Mom but nothing else is on the agenda. It's just too dang hot out.

The local weather dude said the high next Thursday is only 84! I'm going to take the day and go to the state fair. Mmmmmmm, elephant ears! It will be a nice day.

And the big guy ride was postponed, again. Maybe they'll just skip it after all. That would be a downright shame ;-) For Bill too though. I think he could use a vacation. Really. He still has almost 4 weeks to take before the end of the year! Honey, tic toc tic toc!!
