Happy birthday, Virginia--July 16!

[Virginia]

Ahhh Nuthatch, I did not notice the absence of any cute gifts. The poem is so very special. Thank you so much. I got the perfect gifts from you guys today.


But Agate, we don't want to take any of the kittens away from poor Howie. I think it would be a shame to not let him have them all.

:) Happy Birthday Virginia! I looked at my calendar and saw it was your birthday so I signed on. I discovered today is Wednesday and I thought it was Tuesday. I am sorry my wish is late. I am glad you had a good birthday. Jeanie :)

[Virginia]

Thank you so much Jeanie. It made me happy to know I am on your calendar.

Hope it was a wonderful birthday and that you’re staying cool. 🎂🤣🌈

[Virginia]

Ssusan, it was a very nice birthday, but when I went out today I was not cool. It was 98 degrees. I had appointment so it was necessary for me to go. I hope you are doing well.

[ssusan]

It was like that here in Western mass, yesterday. The air was pick and hot. I only went out to water plants on the deck otherwise I stayed in the AC. Tomorrow is going to be hotter, almost 100 and humid. Linda has the farmers market. Will be thinking about her and sending cool thoughts

[Virginia]

Yes, Ssusan I agree, cool thoughts are called for. I hate for Linda or any of our people to be out in that kind of heat.

[Howie]

Virginia, you and I are getting the heat today. Calling for 98 here. That's hot!

[agate]

If it's that hot, it's time to cancel appointments and just hunker down at home with the AC. Around here they send out "heat advisories" in extreme heat. People with MS are among those vulnerable people who ought to cut back on activities in the heat. Not just my opinion.

[Virginia]

I didn't go out today, but could tell it was a bit cooler because it was very cloudy and then rained some which kept the heat down. Tomorrow I need to meet family and it is to be back in high 90s.

I guess Howie's hot heat continued today, but I sure hope it lets up soon. Howie, it is true that we have hot weather, but we usually get breaks in between heat waves.

[Howie]

Yeah, it's going to rain Tuesday, and it's cooler from then on. But I have to take my car into the shop Sunday evening, and leave it for them to fix my window which doesn't roll all the way up, so it will be a hot ride there. I'm following my sister who will bring me back.
