Hot here, too

This heat must be everywhere! This part of Idaho has had the hottest July since they started keeping track of the weather. We had 15 days of triple digit temps, accompanied by 15 more days of temps in the 90s. That leaves just one day where the temperature was in the high 80s. We are fortunate to live in an area that is irrigated farmland so we still have water to keep the yard going. The city did just pass a water treatment bond so we can use river water rather than the wells that have been in use for time immemorial (or at least since I know about it).

We just returned from a visit to California to see my daughter and son in law's newly remodeled home. They tore the roof off, added a second story and started almost from square one, but it's certainly worth it. The place is just lovely. The latest project was the installation of a swimming pool complete with spa and waterfall. Of course, we spent a large part of our time in the pool. Even Gus the Golden spent lots of time swimming, too.

All three of our kids and all of their kids were there on Saturday for a BBQ. That was the first time we had all been together in several years. By next year the family will grow again, as DS #2 and his wife are expecting son #3 and DGD is expecting our first great-grandchild....finally a girl! We will have seven boys in a row before she gets here.

DH starts back to school tomorrow, so things around here will start getting back to somewhat normal.
