Boy, It's HOT

How did it get to be May?? And why is it so hot?? Well, I understand the weather map but I mean why so hot at the start of May? We are in the 80's - both inside and out. Yesterday we worked on the garage. Now a garage is supposed to hold cars... we use ours for STUFF. And yesterday we moved a lot of the stuff out to organize/clean/trash it. And we did a good job. The garage is cleaner/neater. B blew the leaves and such out. We threw some stuff out and also put some things aside to give away or donate. And we put things back neatly so it looks really great! A good days work.

I have also been working at weeding stuff out in the house. In addition to going through my clothes and getting rid of things I haven't worn, I've been cleaning out the heater room which is where i store out of season things. Again, if i haven't used it in FIVE YEARS the odds are I'm not going to!! So, out it goes. And in the kitchen I've been moving into the summer kitchen. I've got most of my pantry food in storage containers both to keep it fresh and to make sure the critters (think mice that are NOT cute) that are a way of life up here. I'm labeling things so I know what is in that large caning jar.

Tonight is a "summer meal" chicken salad on greens with some potato chips. We got a chicken at Sam's the other day and this was a good way to use it and not heat things up. It's too hot to cook inside and the grill just wasn't the answer.

I also have to say that I watched the movie 2012. That thing was too spooky for words. Talk about the end of the world. Well, I stopped it before it was over. I mean, the family is in this jet plane on their way to China to take off on a space ship and the world is crumbling around them. Now you know that we would be the ones they showed falling into the big gaps in the earth (which seemed to be doomed at that point). So, I turned it off. The modern age.. how wonderful. You can stop the end of the world with the push of a button. Enough... lets hope it was just a movie.

We did look at "UP" today. It was sad at parts but good. And I was excited over Snow White!!

We are good... and so glad we are. Hope you are doing well.
