It's gorgeous

The day that is.  Sunshine, temps in 70's, low humidity.  A lovely day to be outside.  Trouble is, I'm afraid to put the cushions on my swing, as everytime I do I have to bring them in, in just a couple hours as the rain comes.  LOL   Had a friend tell me that whenever it started to get dry she was going to call me and tell to put them out.  Funny girl.  Really, it's suppose to be like this most of the week. 

Just a few weeks and school will start around here.  I don't know who will be happier, the kids, the teachers, or the parents.  I suppose the teachers and support staff will be glad to get a paycheck again, but the others, probably the parents, lol.  Teachers do get their yearly salary, but most take the summer months check at the end of the school year.  Most support staff doesn't get any of course and are not allowed unemployment, so I'm sure they are glad to be back to work.  Maintenance works all summer but that's about it.  Aides, bus drivers, cooks, secretaries (most) etc. do not. 

Not much going on in my little world.  There's the big recall elections in the state, but we don't live in any of the districts where they are.  It will be interesting, and that's all I'm going to say about that.

Waiting for Jack to get back from the doctors for his regular checkup.  He's had this cough that doesn't seem to want to go away and I think he pulled a muscle during one of the episodes.  Considering some of the places and things he's worked with we want to make sure it's nothing serious.   As a welder, fireman and maintenance man, he has dealt with smoke, chemicals etc. 

Well you all have a nice day.  Hope it's as nice there as it is here.

  1. It is a lovely day here too and I am so thankful for it. The terrible heat we have had this summer was really getting me down.

    I hope everything is ok with Jack.

  2. My cushions get burned up from sun exposure. I'm too lazy to take them in. Hope Jack will be alright. School starts here the 17th.

  3. We have skirted much of the heat and certainly humidity that many have suffered with. It's been very nice all in all though a bit cool for me in the mornings. I hope this doesn't mean a very nasty winter...ah well. School starts soon indeed...since I teach my own this is a challenge and keeps me busy most of the day.

  4. Lovely weather coming our way as well after a night of heavy rain. Every time I hear that school is starting I get anxious even though I've been out of public school for 42 years.

  5. It has cooled down some for a few days. Not much rain to speak of. I hope Jack is OK.
    I'm trying to catch up before my internet stick stops again.
