We are in the midst of yet another heat wave. Its been anywhere from 93 to 97 all weekend. It is supposed to cool down to 85 or so the rest of the week. Ughhh! Its miserable. Over 90 in the house. We have been sleeping downstairs in the living room with all three portable fans on is. Still too hot for comfort.

This weekend was the Relay for Life in Adrian. Mom wanted to go and be pushed in her wheelchair if necessary for the survivors lap. She missed it by only a little. Two friends of mine did honor her there though: Abby Kurowicki and Tricia Moyer-Fowler. Both bought luminaries and Abby called me as they were reading the names so I got to hear that. That really meant a lot to me. Abby also decorated a chair for the Rare Chair Affair and called hers "Confetti Sue" for mom. Her chair auctioned for $170! definitely one of the higher amounts. Tricia used a picture of mom on her team's shirts. As hard as it would have been to be there, I would have liked to be. Thanks girls!

Friday we had an organizational day for Tim's work. Didn't really want to go because we would prefer to avoid anything to do with his work. However, we dicided to go only because it was at the lake and we thought it might be cooler. It wasn't. There was a small cove though that a few people went in, us being part of them. That was really nice. Tim and I were able to sit in the shallow water and keep an eye on the kids. There were only about a dozen people there so it wasn't crowded and the kids had a blast.

In an effort to recreate that, on Saturday we went to the public beach at the lake. Yea, that wasn't much fun. The roped off part where you could swim was about 50 feet by 12 feet. The kids hated it. It wasn't relaxing at all. We left after being there about 30 minutes.

Today we continue our search for relief from the heat. . .
