I'M BACK ..........

I've been back home for more than a week but it's been rough getting into the swing of things once again.

Two reasons .....

1.  I worked myself too hard down in Joplin in the 90/100+ heat, thus depleting my energy level, even to blog.
2.  After a week enjoying my boys and catching up with normal life, now it seems I brought the SW Missouri heat back with me. Thus again, low energy levels in this hellacious humidity ... AND ... no A/C in the house.

So that being said, it's been slow going but I'm  ready to get back at the fun stuff, fan on high and aimed right at me. I just wanted to touch base for now, but look for some new blogs to be up soon.

I hope everyone is having a great summer so far and keeping cool. If your weather is more tolerable than ours, please send some of it my way.

Just to put a photo on here, take a look at how we kept cool recently. Unfortunately the water was ICE COLD due to a big storm a few days earlier. I'd gladly throw myself, full body, into the lake now if it wasn't 40 minutes away. That's Lake Michigan by the way.
