Welcome Home

After a heavenly 3 1/2 week vacation, enjoying temperatures in the mid 70s, it was very hard to come home to this:

And that was just the indoor temperature.


Yup, our air conditioning was out. My candles were melted and the fish tank was registering over 84 degrees. Poor fishies.

So when we wanted nothing more than to drop into our own beds, we threw yet more clothes into a suitcase and headed west again...to stay with a friend in Lincoln. The fears were flying: how much will this cost? how soon can they fix it? I only have one paycheck left...we need to save it and not spend it on an air conditioner.

Please God...

Well...we contacted three different companies and one made it out this afternoon. After an hour and a half of work and a small part replaced, we are about $100 poorer and the house is slowly cooling down again.

Thanks, God!

Now...what do we do about the city pool that's closed today?
