Yep.  Yesterday I actually got in the pool.  The weather page predicted 99 degrees, but the update this morning said it got to 103.  I knew it was hotter than 99.  

Anyway...took me a few minutes to actually get the whole body in the water, but I did it.  Becke and her son Gordon were already there.  I played some splash with Gordon, and a lot of chatter with Becke.

After awhile the difference in the water temperature and my body temperature began to make itself felt.  Aching knees, so I sat at one of the poolside tables and dried off.  And I mean I dried off.  By the time I got back home, my bathing suit was almost dry.  Hot-hot-hot!!

I forgot to mention that Kimberly sent me a bouquet of orchids for my birthday.  They were still in good shape when she arrived, but they have to go into the trash today.  They've done their beautiful duty and need to be retired.

I didn't make it to water aerobics this morning.  Woke up about 4am and couldn't go back to sleep.  But by 8am, I was dozing in my chair.  Gave up trying to wake up and went back to bed for another 3 hours.  Good thing I don't have a job to go to.

Update on Trish:  She has some kind of tick fever.  Marian said she couldn't pronounce the disease let alone spell it.  My Taber's isn't much help there.  Does describe Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, but I don't think that tick is found on the East Coast.  Anyway, she's being cared for in the hospital, and I expect she'll be up and about soon.  Thanks to all for prayers.  Keep up the good work.

Well, I see my sister has logged in for our daily chat, so I'll say goodbye for now

Shalom
