Good Evening Kids! Glad to hear your healing up is going well, NancysSummerSip! I've got DH's cake baked for Father's Day, I just need to let it cool before I frost it. For him, any flavor is good, as long as it's chocolate, so, dark chocolate it is.

Good Morning! Happy Father's Day to all the dads who pop in here at the coffee shop. Thanks for serving up brunch, NancysSummerSip . You're a good cook, even when you're healing up from surgery.

Good Morning Kids! Yesterday was definitely a Monday. I am still dealing with ordering new glasses. Apparently the frames I'd ordered were only for safety glasses, and the only lenses you can put into them are safety lenses. I'm NOT going around in a pair of glasses where OSHA requires a mark on the lenses, so I had to go back to the drawing board to find a pair of glasses. Boo! Hope today I'll actually be able to accomplish something...

We are supposed to have a brief cool down before the heat hits again next weekend. I was thinking about going to see DD this weekend but it is supposed to be 112 degrees at her place on Saturday and 115 on Sunday. I'm not sure I want to be driving in that kind of heat.

LOL Sharon! I am. I'm absolutely positive that you don't want to be driving in that kind of heat! Imagine if that's the temp, the actual temp on the asphalt pavement on the highway is gonna be a whole heckuva lot higher than that. Holy moly.

I texted DD this morning to let her know I wouldn't be coming over this weekend. She laughed and said she was just getting ready to text me to tell me to not come. They got an e-mail that the electric company will be cutting power if the temperature or winds get too high. They are worried about fires. She is considering bringing the kids and hanging out here for a few days.

Hi Kids! If you don't see me online much the next few weeks, please don't worry. First, I've gotta help get DD's car up & running, as she'll need it to close on her house next week, and to begin running some things over there. Plus, I expect I'll be letting repairmen in, if not helping clean and/or paint, depending on how much help she gets from friends. Finally, my computer died (I'm typing this on DS's computer), and as much as I like having a computer, getting it fixed just hasn't made it to the top of my priority list, at least for the next few weeks. So, you all carry on. If DH fixes my computer tonight, then hooray. If not, its just a sign I need to help DD more with her move and settling in. Later...

Well, DH wasn't able to get my computer to budge. So, we'll have an old friend over on Sunday, and if he can't do anything with it, I'll just have to wait a few weeks, until the busiest part of DD's move is over. Oh well...see you on the other side!

I miss y'all but I am doing well; I had MOHS surgery Wednesday and now have a hole in my head. Well, a small one and it has stitches. The bandage comes off tomorrow and the stitches are the dissolving kind. The doc got the cancer cells in one pass, so it is a small wound. Should be a charming scar by next week. Fortunately, it is on the side of my head near the hairline, so not very noticeable. The staples in my foot come out Monday. I had to wear them past the usual 14-day mark because that doc does surgery on Thursday, which would have been the 14th day and he is off Friday. So Monday it is.

Hello peeps! Feeling pretty good today -- registered for two swim meets and ordered new tech suits, so I must be feeling optimistic. The surgical bandage on my head is off, replaced by a normal band-aid and some ointment. The stitches look less Frankenstein-ish now.

Things are heating up around here, our expected high today is 106 degrees. This morning I made a batch of raspberry jelly for DD and her family from berries grown in my back yard. Right now I am enjoying the central AC that was installed last summer, haven't regretted spending that money.

That will reduce the scarring.

We shattered our all time high temperature today hitting 112 degrees. I watered early this morning but have pretty much stayed indoors all day.

Except for Vegas or Phoenix, I've never been in heat as high as 112. Yikes

Hi Kids! I'm baaaaaaaaack! After spending too much on some new computer equipment, that is... There is still a lot of stuff that we'll have to put in, but I've got the bare basics for now. Still won't be here much this week. It's gonna be a full week. DD will be signing the paperwork on her house, then the fun begins...

Excuse me while I melt into a puddle. Our current temperature is 117 degrees. Yesterday we broke our highest temp ever at 113 degrees and today beat that by at least another 4 degrees, our hottest part of the day is usually around 5pm, so it could potentially bump up another degree or two.

OMG, and I thought that the temps of 90+ with high humidity here was ungodly! You have my sympathy Try and stay cool.

Good Evening Kids! Sharon, I sincerely hope you have air conditioning. I have relatives around Portland, and I know some of them didn't have AC, at least back in the day... A bag of ice and a good fan makes for a good alternative (have the breeze from the fan go across the ice). I still have a long way to go in downloading what I had before into our new computer. But, again, not a priority, as DD's closing on her house is at the top of our list, so keep those prayers coming, and fingers crossed!

Yes condolences on the heat. I don't like the yearly 100 to 103 temps. I wish then I could hide at home for those days and come back out when the high is 99 or less. Drink your fluids and be careful.

Sharon I am so thankful that we are now out from that. My temps were 109 in my city. I do not have AC so the temp inside my place was 93 last night at 10PM. I am soooo thankful that it's only supposed to be 90 today. Another reason I look forward to moving. Everyone take care! Snap~

Hi Kids! This day isn't done yet, and I'm just checking in before we run some stuff over to DD's place. The closing happened without too much drama. Except, the closing company forgot to give her the clickers for the garage door, and the garage keys, so she had to go back to pick them up.

Good Morning Kids! I'm sticking around the house today just in case either the locksmith or the electrician call to say they'll be at DD's house before she gets off of work. So, I just might be letting people into her house today, to get some work done. Just another task for a mom to help out with...
