It has been very hot here the past week. It just about reached 100 degrees today, the 4th of July! I love my brick house. Even with only one A/C unit upstairs, the house is tolerable. The fan seems to be helping a lot. Sammy camps out in front of it most of the day.
Jeff started the day with a bike ride and I got a few things done at home. We played a game of Scattergories too. Went shopping in the afternoon, mainly looking for a wind breaker for Mary to take with her to South Africa tomorrow! We didn't find one, but Sarah brought hers home and it seems to fit well. Sarah worked today at the marina, then drove home for the night. She said her house in Holland was very very hot. So we were all together for the 4th, had burgers and dogs on the grill, corn, watermelon and a smores cookie recipe we made on the grill! It was ok. Probably won't make it again though. I like roasted Marshmallows, but I don't get into smores too much.
Now the sun is setting and we are heading to see some fireworks! I hope there is a bit of a breeze to offset the warm temperatures. Mary is heading out to see Brandon and enjoy fireworks with his family on their pontoon! Fireworks on the lake. Should be beautiful.
Jeff and I joined the local fitness club last week and have been enjoying the pool and exercise equipment. I got some new clothes to exercise in, and a new swimsuit. Ordered online. Hope it fits! Mary and Matthew have been going along with us. Mary and I went to a water aerobics class. What a workout. Lots of the ladies just move around and talk...I tried to stay focused. You know how I like to talk.
Work has been going well for all of us. Staying busy and making money. The girls are doing well as waitresses. Matthew keeps the childcare kids at Mount Calvary happy. I work with amazing nurses and have been very happy with my job at the hospital. I will also be caring for Hailey a few days a month. Church activities keep Jeff and me busy with God's work. I don't look at it like work, enjoy planning and organizing sunday school and VBS.
Well, we are off to see the fireworks. More later? Check back and see!
