Hello,
Yesterday it was 90F. something in the
morning. Today it has not quite made it to 90F. in the afternoon. I am pleased
at how comfortable it feels outside even though it is just a few degrees
cooler. We have put up a thermometer. It required some calibrating. We took our
three thermometers and set them all in the same space with it, waited three
hours, and all four had a different reading so we averaged it somewhat to come
up with the new setting. “We should go around and find a temperature from a
bank or something.” I told Leroy.
“One that is accurate?” he wondered with
a laugh.
Last night we went to a picnic in a
park. The tables were up on a knoll and with a breeze blowing it was quite fine
up there. Is that why the wealthy in this country have tended to head to high
ground?
We still have not turned on the air,
but probably will tomorrow because we have company coming for lunch. I even
bought bread because I did not want to turn on the oven and raise the
temperature several degrees. We have a window fan that is used at night to pull
in the cool outside air, but Leroy does not think it does as well as the box
fans. Today we bought a box fan. It is to be a high of 72 F. tonight. I think
that should feel quite nice. I will surely have to pull up the sheet if that is
true.
This woman visitor is someone we knew
from Missouri Valley, IA, Leroy’s first parish. We do not remember when we last
saw her, but it has been years. It is fun to think about this meeting once
again. By the way, if you are going through our area please stop in we would
love to see you. Even if we are working we can probably make that disappear for
a few hours.
Paula
