No one complained. I got to wear sandals almost every day this winter. The days I did not wear sandals were mostly soggy days, not cold days.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-66302301497293838802017-07-25T18:23:51.029-05:002017-07-25T18:23:51.029-05:00Line,

Maybe less stuff lowers your anxiety and blood pressure. Stressing over where it is would certainly heat me up.

I really don't mind the heat as long as I know I have air at home and in the car. I just got back from dropping DD and GD off at the airport- boohoo. I probably won't see them in person until February when I visit. We had a great time and GD is so quick and well behaved- she was 3 in May. How often do you see your grandkids, Linda? My mom's mother (Granny Cec) lived about 5 minutes from our house so i saw her and Gramps often. He died when I was 14 and Granny died when I was married, in my 30's with 2 kids.NANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809533152358579455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-60908370566448855432017-07-25T08:37:47.029-05:002017-07-25T08:37:47.029-05:00I just put wood on the fire so it burns overnight ...I just put wood on the fire so it burns overnight and keeps the house warm.

Unless absolutely necessary we do not go out of the house between 10 and 4. Just too hot. I've also found that the less stuff I have around me the cooler I feel, even if it's only in my head. So, I have a fairly large load of things to donate and a pretty full garbage can. Besides, I really don't need so much stuff. Less to clean, and more importantly, less to remember where it is.Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249001827113998376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-23653728158228306432017-07-24T22:51:41.495-05:002017-07-24T22:51:41.495-05:00slugmama,
