Good evening Illinois, Sean, and Ken!

I hope everyone had a day as beautiful as we had here in the River City, was 79° with a little humidity.Wish everyday could be like today all year long.

Its nice to have the house back to normal, Sean.

Evening Rick...John...lurkers from far and wide!!! John...you're experiencing the type of weather we had last week...A/C had trouble keeping up with it. Rick...we had similar weather here today...lots of sunshine...high temp of 82*...51% humidity. I was fortunate enough to spend most of the day outside doing virtually nothing.

Howdy Ken and John!

We have the windows open and the whole house fan on. Could this be the Spring that we didn't have? The heat returns next week.

Patty doesn't like the heat and humidity but both of us grew up here in the Midwest and guess we got used to it. As kids we grew up without A/C, Don't know how we survived.

It wasn't till I went into the service did my folks get A/C. I must have been eating them out of house and home. LOL
