After being away at the lake a good part of last week, and then again over the weekend, my little 4 year old buddy blew through the door this morning to see what I was up to. He hung around for about a half hour, and then he had to go home to watch Arthur. We had a nice chat about alligators and crocodiles, and how to best avoid them when swimming in swamps. After Brady's visit it was off to play a little tennis. Most of the posse was back together, and due to the increasing heat we played indoors today. I had finally gotten used to playing in the sun, and having to look up into it when trying to serve, so today was another adjustment. Oh well, it made for a more legitimate excuse for my poor play. Actually, I didn't do to badly. I won't be playing for another two weeks as we will be hitting the road this Wednesday, very early in the morning, to head for Minnesota and Wisconsin. We will be dropping in on my parent's 60th wedding anniversary celebration on Saturday, and then dropping our "sweet Babbo", Beth, off for her 2nd year of college in St. Paul on Tuesday. We will also be dropping off a substantial portion of our life's savings!
In terms of the weather, it was a hot one today. Our church is having Vacation Bible School this week, and as part of the festivities we have an 18 wheeler that showed up today complete with a stage...huge speakers hooked to the music system...and a couple of rock climbing walls. This evening could be a real mess! A fun mess, but a mess nonetheless. Today the temperatures topped out in the low to mid 90s, and tomorrow should be a degree or two hotter. By Wednesday the breezes will be picking up from the southwest, hauling some milder air in from the direction of the Pacific, and we should be dropping back to highs in the 80s through the weekend...pretty comfy! Days will be mostly sunny and the nights clear and cool. There is still no rain in sight.
