Allimom doesn't care for Southern California in the summer, according to her comment to my last entry. However, Northern California, Sacramento specifically, is beastly in the summer, too. Triple digits for ten days in a row is not uncommon. So.....it's pretty much six of one and half-dozen of the other where I spend a week in July. At least there's air conditioning, and I don't plan on spending a lot time outdoors, anyway. In the summertime a cave would do nicely, except I have claustrophobia.

I was thinking Hawaii would be nice, but as I recall my last visit there (oh, so many years ago) that it was pretty humid along with the warm. So maybe Washington or Oregon coast would suit. Oh, wait, I just remembered, I have a friend who lives in Ft Bragg, and she says the temp stays pretty close to 60 degrees in the summer. But on the other hand, I think I'd like a little more warmth than that in July. Ah, well....

Wonder if I could wrangle an invite from my cousin who lives in Oregon, where Mt Hood can be seen from his living room window. What a view! I did a painting using a photo he had taken of that beautiful mountain. The last time I was there, I just about didn't make it to Portland for my flight home. It snowed overnight--18 inches as I recall--and we almost couldn't get the car out of the driveway. No, it wasn't July. It was November. But still, it was unusual for that much snow and that early in the year.

I was going to look at some more mail, but I think I hear my bed calling. Maybe tomorrow I'll wake up.
