We Survived!

Oh, yes! It's cooler today! I've thought a few times about posting in the past week, but I've been too preoccupied with trying to keep cool. A few days ago I drove the kids my parents' house to spend the day swimming in their pool and we still haven't gone home. It was just too darn hot. One day it was 106 degrees in our neighborhood and 96 in our living room in Seattle. And this in a place where nobody has air conditioning. We did have a few fans, but the transformers started to blow from the heat and we lost power for about 6 hours on the hottest day. So, it's been bad. But I can't complain too much since my parents are out of town, their house is much cooler than ours and they have a pool which is where we've spent the last three days. We'll clean up here and go home later today.
