Sheesh it's hot!

Did we experience Spring? I don't think so! Summer seems to be here as it was 97 degrees today.

Notes from the Home Front

Busy day today. Went grocery shopping and made a few other stops. Why is it that when in the grocery store and the lines are long, no one sees fit to open a few more? The customers behind me had ice cream in their cart, just like I did. I swear it was melting during the 15 minutes on the line. In the summer, it's good to take an insulated bag with ice packs in it for ice cream and other such frozen foods.
