Love celebrating summer - even the sweating and sweltering - with you Janice. So descriptive. I can feel the heat of a summer's day. Congratulations. Blessings!

Thanks so much, Sam! Highs are mid- to high-nineties with heat indices of 105 in Mississippi! Janice

Excellent Footles Janice. For the first seven years here in Hawaii I lived without A/C. I barely wore clothes. I grew up in sweltering heat without A/C. I spent a lot of time at the A/C library. It is good I love to read. Congratulations on your wonderful win. Blessings xxoo

Thanks so much, Connie. We didn't have ac--or indoor plumbing or running water--till I was almost grown! Janice
