It's so Hot That----

You know it's hot when:

.....the birds have to use potholders to pull the worms out of the ground.   .....the trees are whistling for the dogs.   .....the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance   .....hot water comes from both taps.   .....you can make sun tea instantly.   .....you learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.   .....the temperature drops below 90 F and you feel a little chilly.   .....you discover that in July it only takes two fingers to steer your car (one on each hand).   .....you discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.   .....you actually burn your hand opening the car door.   .....you break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 5:30 A.M.   .....your biggest motorcycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death"?   .....you realize that asphalt has a liquid stage.   .....the potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter.   .....the cows are giving evaporated milk.   .....farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs. IT'S SO DRY that the Baptists are starting to baptize by sprinkling, the Methodists are using wet-wipes, the Presbyterians are giving rain checks, and the Catholics are praying for the wine to turn back into water!

Ya gotta love pool time.  My doctor said I could swim, if in a pool, no river swimming at this time (think he feared infection)...I mean, I still have staples and hopefully they will be removed this Wednesday. Anyway, it was so nice of Lisa to allow us to use her swimming pool.

But even more exciting was trying out my new underwater camera,trust me I am not about to post photos of me underwater, I look like some alien or floppy whale or something along those lines.  Hubby insists I look just fine but.....

Here's Maddy underwater, she is so darn cute!

Well, Tuesday started off with thunder-bumpers and then, heavy downpour, now the sun is shining and looks like we'll have a nice day.  Ya, dry out patio cushions again...ye gads!!!

So looking forward to having the Minnesota Rourk's visit us next month...I miss my grandkids, dau-in-law and son.  Just saw him two weeks ago but I miss them all and it'll be fun to have them here and we hope to rent cabins at Old Forge and spend lots of time at Water Safari -- oh good times.
