And believe me, the mosquitoes are there as well! We've had a couple of car issues while on this trip through New England and both times chose small independently owned businesses to patronize. Totally agree with you on that.<br /><br />Hope David has another good day! I'd wish for several more!!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09408463925646609263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-82429067769830845432012-06-23T22:09:26.647-04:002012-06-23T22:09:26.647-04:00wonderful pictures...rain and muggy here in New Br...wonderful pictures...rain and muggy here in New Brunswick, right next door to Nova Scotia...glad to see your getting things all taken care of before the transplant..your in our thoughts and prayersElainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697546364119777641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-283642371294123492012-06-23T18:55:25.381-04:002012-06-23T18:55:25.381-04:00Been in the low 90's here in the mountains of ...Been in the low 90's here in the mountains of northern New Mexico, but the low humidity does help.

I am glad that you are able to enjoy the small pleasures of the day. I am happy that David is not hurting from the procedure. It is hot in Kansas too and most of our time is spent indoors. I wonder how we managed years ago when we couldn't afford to run our air conditoner? In the "good old days" we never turned on the air until the 4th of July. Until then we used the attic fan and roasted in misery all day or visited the local Mall to enjoy walking in their coolness. We spent afternoons at the local pool. Please know that we are all praying for you and David.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-77771741547162724142012-06-23T09:08:08.814-04:002012-06-23T09:08:08.814-04:00The high temps in the northeast make me feel bette...The high temps in the northeast make me feel better too! Floridians do outdoor things winter, spring and fall. We plan our trips to Disney, and camping trips during those months. In the summer, we do indoor things, swim in the pool, or get out on the water. I guess it's kind of like living up north. You just don't plan outdoor activities in January.<br /><br />Glad you're getting all the chores done. Maybe you guys can find the time to make a beach trip before the transplant. <br /><br />I hope your site 25 is high and dry. We might be getting a lot of rain the next few days.Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-14556470164122202122012-06-23T08:56:25.191-04:002012-06-23T08:56:25.191-04:00Best news on the blog today... for me... is that D...Best news on the blog today... for me... is that David has had a couple of good days! Of course, I did love that little squirrel. I know they are "pests" but they are so very cute. Maybe they get tired of the Florida rain too. Rain on the roof at night is a good sound, and to get up in the morning to sunshine is even better. Hopefully today the high humidity in the DC area has ended and we can be outside again. It has been brutal for the past few days. Hope Nova Scotia will be in yours and David's sites in the not too distant future... a nice plan to hold onto and look forward to.carol boydnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-87536536017293263242012-06-23T08:26:26.612-04:002012-06-23T08:26:26.612-04:00It is hot everywhere.

We just had an "attempt" at a thunderstorm--rained just long enough to get the ground damp. I hate to go out to water the flowers because the bugs are terrible, here, too.<br /><br />I recommend the Thermacell to everyone for mosquitoes, Sherry, and it's nice because they don't smell. They have some that you can wear, but I don't know how well they work, but you could always put them on the ground next to where you are sitting. They are amazing. If I didn't have the lantern, I might think about buying the portable kind.<br /><br />Hoping you can wind down, soon, and get some rest. Thanks for keeping us posted. We can all learn a lot from you and David.<br /><br />You are so organized to plan ahead and get things done so you're not distracted by other things when David is recovering.hobopalshttp://travelswithmrnimble.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
