so, is anyone out there melting yet?

Or is it just me? It's mighty hot here in central New York state. Mighty. It might not be the top topic for me if I had air conditioning, but no sir, we just turn on the fans and blow the hot air around a bit. We COULD install a few window units and put up a curtain in the hall doorway, we have done that before. But when it's NOT really that hot, it seems like too much work, then when it gets like this, I'm thinking we're crazy. You do get acclimated a little bit, but it's not fun.

This fine summer morning, I have somewhere to go! Mr. Jonathan has an appointment to take his driving learner's permit test today! It's the day he's been waiting for all of his life! I am not sure how it will work, if we have to line up outside...can I just faint now and get it over with?!

We picked up our dear Kathryn, and Darius, and little Achilles from the airport last night! (The airport looked like a ghost town! So few cars lined up, so few people inside the big shiny glass windows, no one sitting on the benches...this airport just had a multi million dollar facelift, and now it's so apocalyptic...) They are staying with Benjamin and Ashley. Ben and Ashley's little Anya has stated that this is better than Christmas, AND her birthday, to have them there. They are all coming here later, to swim and visit. So we do have to clean up the house, don't we?

So fun things are happening! Did you know that I am an old lady? Yup. I am turning 55 on Friday. So Evelyn Joy, my 20 year old daughter, is planning a party for me, a deck party, here at my house. She is taking the day off of work on Friday to set things up, but she says we have to have the house clean already, oh yes, we are on that, not. Anyway, she has invited some friends, and my sister, some nieces. We shall socially distance, and mostly be outside, and it's under the recommended gathering size here in NY.

Also, we are having a gathering at our church on Sunday, a summer barbecue, with less people than the recommended gathering amount, and outside. We shall serve the food with masks on, and serve it one family at a time. Guess who is buying and cooking? Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time, ha. I'll fit it in somehow, to plan and shop. It's more difficult these days because of limits, and higher prices, ect.

Well, I have just enough time to sweep the floors and put in a load of towels before we have to go out the door, I just don't want to get all sweaty. Who am I kidding, I don't want to get more sweaty.
