RE: Lazy weekend

Husband said he'd just open the BBQ and toss on steaks, no need to light it.
My poor dogs are digging enormous holes anywhere there's shade, trying to
find a cool spot to lie in. My lab has a wading pool he likes but Trixie
won't go in it. I turned on the water for the back fence and it filled up a
big hole she'd dug near a pine tree, and that was okay, she splashed around
in there for a while. I figured letting her get muddy was not such a big
deal considering.

I can sympathize Cyndi.  And if you were canning anything in the kitchen on
a day like today, I think they'd send the men with the funny white coats for
you!  It is way to hot to turn on a stove.  All cooking here could be
accomplished by simply throwing raw meat onto the sidewalk.  
I'm sure it would be done in no time!  When it gets to hot that I have to
wear shoes outside or else I really will burn the bottom of my feet on the
pavement- then that is just too much.  Stay cool and enjoy your books.
