Hot Fun in the Summertime! Know that song?
It's going to be a 3H kinda day-hazy, hot, and humid. What's getting you charged this morning in your cup? Decaf and black, here!
Canned some strawberry jam yesterday. Michigan berries are so good this year. Sweet, juicy, and bright red. Sweet cherries are starting to come out. I'm contemplating getting a pressure canner to do more veggies. I enjoy it, but am limited with just ho****er canning..
QOTD-How do you keep cool on days like today? These days I don't mind going to the basement and defrosting the freezer. It's a chore I detest, but on a hot day, it's not so bad. I find myself hibernating in the AC, mostly, but do go out on the back porch and enjoy the evenings, when its cooler, outside.
Lake Michigan water temp is getting in the 60's.
Stay cool

Good morning
I am drinking  peach water this am.   Have been getting the ice out the past couple of   days,  Seems like the cold water from the fridge isn't cold enough anymore. 
I am going  after the rest of my strawberries in a few so that and some housework is my goals for the day.    I suppose I should cook hubby a decent dinner also.
QOTD  I use the fan a lot!   ha vent gotten out the Ac for the computer room yet.   I don't want the high bills.   Right now I  have fans in the windows  on the  shaded side of the house pulling in the cooler air.   Have a great day everyone and don't melt!

Good morning Deb!
Thanks for the strawberries, they are yummy!!
Last night got home and sat on the back deck with Hummer and the dogs. It's cooler out in the country.
If I go for a walk today it's gotta be early cuz man is it muggy today.
Stay cool and defrost your freezer!!!

Good Morning everyone.  Man, it's hotter than a billy goat in a pepper patch out there!  The air on one side of our office is broken and they won't let us fix it.  My office is nice and cool and everyone thinks that I did it on purpose!  I would never fix my side and not fix the other one!  Seriously, I wouldn't!!

Anyway, I keep my house FREEZING all summer long.  Nick has trouble regulating his body temp. so if he's hot he gets kind of worn out and lathargic.  So we keep it about 68 degrees all the time.  Not that I am complaining at all because I don't like to be sweaty, especially if I'm doing work around the house or cooking.

I hope you all have a peaceful and productive day!

Good morning, Michigan.  I have my half-caf coffee going, and am staying cool at work in air -conditioned Detroit Receiving Hospital.  My air in my car isn't working and I hate to spend $800 to have it fixed, but the ride home today might convince me.   My goal is to get out of downtown ASAP today to avoid the fireworks traffic-although if I had someone to go with I would love to stay and watch them, as they are never the same on TV.  

Stay cool, all.

Hi all -

Only working a half day today and leaving the office in about 90 minutes.  Yippee!!  I'm enjoying some breakfast at the moment -- a little Otter Bar (homemade protein bar) and a yogurt. 

QOTD -- actually I don't mind the heat.  Since surgery I've been so cold that days like today aren't all that bad anymore.  Last year I put my window air conditioner in and only had it turned on once all summer long.  This year I'm not bothering to use it at all.  They keep it so cold here at the office that I'm usually freezing all day --- in fact, I have my little space heater turned on right now.  Craziness! 

I was outside in the heat all day yesterday at the golf outing.  Yes, it was a bit hot and sweaty from schlepping stuff and running around all day, but I didn't complain too much.  Come winter and the cold -- I'll complain all day long about the snow. 

Have a good day all
Pam

Good Morning!
I started out my morning with a protein fruit smoothie . . I made it nice and thick with lots of ice so it was like ice cream . . . YUM!
Today is my Friday, so off tomorrow - I start midnight shift on this coming Friday night.  Sounds confusing even when I read it!
I went for a walk at 9:00 last night thinking I wouldn't melt  . . well I was wrong.  I'm doing a 5k tomorrow evening and I think were going to do lots of sweating. 
Deb I envy you on the canning - it's just not worth the time to do it just for me.  I just go to my parents and raid their pantry.  I do make strawberry freezer jam I like to sure it in the winter it's a nice treat when the snow is blowing!
QOTD- I have two window air conditioners but I hate having my house all closed up.  It doesn't bother me to sweat a little. My son's room is in the basement so I may grab a movie and hang out with him tonight.  But I love to sit on the porch right up until it starts to snow!
Enjoy the warm, warm day!

Morning!

2 Click espressos in my cup this morning and the caffeine has me just a buzzing!!

QOTD:  A/C in the house, work and in the car, but for the past few days, I've been getting on the motorcycle and going for some very nice rides on the back roads of Northern MI after work.  Very nice, breezy and cooling!  Stopped in Charlevoix last night for dinner, and the ride back was great.  I even had to put on a sweatshirt once the sun went down.

Good morning everyone have a few more minutes left of it.Just got up midnights again last night.I am having sugar free cherry kool aid.I don't have a/c.My place of employment is freezing all the time and I don't use it in the car either I am one of those people that believe the gas is sucked away if you use the air so I just roll down the windows and open the moon roof and let my thinning hair fly with the wind.I am going to go to the lake for a dip though.Have a great day all!

Hey all,

Working on another cup of coffee....I put so much stuff in it I don't think true coffee drinkers would call it coffee LOL!!!

Q:  Well since I work in a cold office, during the day not much, actually I just try to stay warm.  My hubby works at the house so he did turn the air on yesterday, but we'll prob turn it off by Sat., neither of us mind it being a bit warm.

It's not the heat that bothers me, it's the humidity.  Being in Phx. for a while I got away from that stickiness and I don't really like it anymore.  Our retirement will definately be in Phx. away from the humidity.

Have a great day all,

Edie
