The TVM in vacationland!

[Calma]

Yeah.
Sometimes I think they are being paid by the other team
But I know better.....FIFA is not that corrupted.

[Tookish_Traveler]

Cool yet???

[IrisBrandybuck]

LK: I was actually cold at work today. Without the AC!

[Ladykat]

Tooks---is that a picture of an avalanche?

Too much cold for me!

LK

[Tookish_Traveler]

Yes, it is an avalanche.

Just like your avalanche of recent posts.

[Calma]

VIVE LA FRANCE!!!!!!

Great match in the World Cup today!

[Ladykat]

The heat and humidity are back.

Which means I'm back to running my AC.

I don't want to even think about my electric bill.

[Tookish_Traveler]

92F here today.

Rain tomorrow should make for a cooler week ahead.

[IrisBrandybuck]

It's been cooler here...if 82 is cooler... Storms yesterday and today and maybe tomorrow...

Our church is hosting a blood drive tomorrow, in honor of one of our members. She's slowly losing her mind...possibly alzheimer's, though I don't really know. But she's needed several blood transfusions and there is an incredible need. I don't know if I'm going to give, but I am going to help with the event.

High 80's here. No rain in forecast till Saturday. Nothing measurable either ! I think I'm melting !!!!!

[Tookish_Traveler]

I am off to Scotland for the day. Stay cool!!!!



We did get a nice long rain yesterday, so everything isn't wilting. Yay.

[Calma]

The last few days have been in the low 90's-high 80's.
But today Mother Nature's natural air conditioning (marine air off the Pacific) has kicked in
And we are only going to be in the mid 70's today through Friday.

My best to your mom, Tooks!

Not much happening here lately.
Will have to hit up the grocery later for milk
But other than that.... meh.

[Ladykat]

It's been nicely cool and breezy here lately. The humidity is only half of what it was which makes things downright pleasant, weather-wise.

We're supposed to get off and on thunderstorms starting Friday and lasting through next Wednesday.

Which means I'll still have to run my AC cause I can't open windows when it's raining.

[Tookish_Traveler]

Ice cream for everyone!!!





Thanks, Calma.

[notlistening]

Did I miss the Ring Bearer party??? Congrats LK!!

[Calma]

You can find the party thread here, nl.

Thanks for the ice cream, Tooks!

[Tookish_Traveler]

And we can eat the ice cream in an ice hotel resort!!!!!111

[notlistening]

I wonder if Iceland has any ice hotels? Though I am sure they would all have melted by the time I get there.

adds some Cookie Dough Ice cream to the table.

July 20, 1969...
The day the Earth *really* stood still.....

[Tookish_Traveler]

OOOooo. I remember I got to stay up late and watch it on TV!!!

Twas exciting.

[Ladykat]

Did I miss the Ring Bearer party??? Congrats LK!!

Thanks nl!

No, still partying on. Come on over!

And that ice cream looks fantastic. Bring that with you.

[Calma]

Back from lunch with my sister.
Had sweet and sour chicken and I'm totally stuffed.
Probably won't be able to eat dinner tonight.


Going to be very warm up here again this week.
Keep the air conditioning going in the TVM, please.

Later....

[notlistening]

Waiting at the bus stop this morning, the phone told me it was 4C. Cold for me, shorts weather for Canucks.

[IrisBrandybuck]

July 19 was my parent's 49th wedding anniversary. My mom remembers watching the moon landing...she was completely unimpressed. My dad, on the other hand...

It was actually cold here today...low 70s with low humidity and when there was a breeze that made it cold. Eep.

[Tookish_Traveler]

We have not had low humidity.

It was a high of 80 F today but Huuuuuuuumid!!!!



Hates it, we does.


ETA: rain rain rain rain rain rain. And more rain.

[Calma]

Today is my oldest's birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SEAN!!!

[Tookish_Traveler]

Happy birthday, Sean.... a day late.





I have been stymied with dog-walking the last day or so. Here are the usual places we go...

[Calma]

Been hearing about those rains where you hang your hat, Tooks.
Very strange indeed.
Hope everyone is safe and that bridge doesn't wash out.
And that soon you and Tyson can return to his walkies.....

Meanwhile up here, I have 90 degrees....
Too bad we can't reach a happy medium for all the country.

[Tookish_Traveler]

That bridge is brand new, so I don't think it will wash out. It was replaced after the 2011 flood.


The 'creek' will slowly start receding now, so soon there will be lots of mud. yay.

[IrisBrandybuck]

When it was raining the other day two little Amish boys came into the post office. As they were leaving I leaned over the counter and looked...barefoot and mud all over their feet! They probably thought it felt pretty good, being little boys and all.

We're getting a break now...I don't know about Tooks. Her part of the state...and east of us...really got hammered. But guess what? Our roof found a new place to leak!
