It’s hot. And that’s about all I have to say about that. We’ve been staying cool any way we can. We do not have central air in our house – it went out last year and will cost thousands of dollars to repair, money we honestly don’t have after having to completely redo the plumbing in the house and forking out thousands of dollars for Abigail’s tonsillectomy and Steve’s kidney stone procedure. So we’re making do with portable units. Honestly, I don’t think central air could keep up with this heat anyway so it’s not a big deal. The girls are swimming a lot and eating their weight in snow cones. My ice cream maker is getting a work-out. We are blessed to have several friends with pools who have been kind enough to invite us over.
We spent a day last week swimming with my friend, Tami, and her children. The ducks were a leftover from a graduation party. Gracie, Abigail, Kara, and Riley had a blast lining all 300 of them all up on a pool float. You should have seen Abigail’s face when she realized how many ducks there were. It was priceless!
I know that July is going to pass way too quickly for me and we’ll be staring down the beginning of school. Gracie reminded me today that we need to make every day of summer count! I think a day spent with good friends and 300 ducks definitely counts!
