Tonight we went to a neighborhood party. Since the party was just up the street, we decided to walk there and back. As we went out the front door Nina asked me if I had a key. I looked on my key ring and decided that I did have a key. The party was fun, we met a number of neighbors for the first time. When we got back home, none of my keys opened the front door. Not good. I worked the gate by the motorhome open. The garage door was locked. We used to have a lock box on that door just in case, but a couple of months ago Nina had misplaced her only house key. So I took the key out of the lock box and had several made, but never put the box back on the door (it’ll be there by tomorrow). Fortunately, the sliding door on the deck was unlocked. I was in without having to spend money or do damage. Phew!<\/p>\n
The temperatures have suddenly gotten back to normal. We had a high of 102 degrees on Saturday and a high of 68 yesterday. We had temperatures over 95 every day for a couple of weeks. The heat wave has moved eastward and folks are really suffering that direction. The break in the heat is welcome. I might be able to mow the grass tomorrow evening!<\/p>\n
Today is my mother’s eighty-second birthday. She doesn’t want a lot of fuss made about her birthday — so we’ll wait until this weekend or so. Birthdays are to be celebrated and the more one has, the more they are to be celebrated. Happy birthday, mother!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
