Rain, Rain, Go Away..........

For those of you reading this from somewhere besides Anchorage, we have had one of the coldest summer on record. We've had only 3 days over 70 degrees this year, and, with August just around the corner, it's not likely to happen again, this year. Plus, there was snow on several pikes in the Chugach Range on Thursday am.

Serves me right for buying 3 new pairs of sandals this year. What was I thinking?
The good news is that they'll be usable next season, too. Oh, the other reason the weathers been so bad, is because we decided to get the house painted this year. We've had primer all over the house now for at least a month. Our painter keeps calling to apologize about the weather. Not his fault. I will not buy sandals or get the outside of the house painted next year. Promise.

Then, maybe we'll have a summer like the summer of 04, when all the kids spent there summer days in an outdoor blow-up pool, and we barbecued every night, because our homes were too hot to cook in.

I think most of us stick around, because we seem to forget the bad summers quickly and chose to remember those good summer days we've had, no matter how few there are.
