It really makes me feel like a baby, this heat. Mainly because I was raised in the desert! I'm from

El Paso, Texas |
The humidity really isn't nice to those with arthritis. I have been incredible achy, which is nothing new. It is just worse. So has Laura, who is my 12 year old. We were going to start a walking plan this summer, but that plan was shelved real quick. We didn't feel like walking at 2 a.m. so we could beat some of the heat!
Needless to say, we have done our fair share of reading and crafting this summer. Not much cooking, as we do not want to add to the heat by turning on the oven! We have existed on salads and fruit, throwing in some stir-fry and stove-top meals.

I can't believe that school starts in a week. This will be Laura's 8th grade year. High school is coming too fast for me. I can't believe she is this old. My last one. I wanted more time with her. More time holding her hand, kissing her boo-boos, watching her grow. She is becoming a young adult, with her own opinions, her own ways of doing things. We clash often these days. It is just her growing up, becoming who she will eventually be. She has so many dreams and I know she will make them come true.
I hope all of you are having a good summer. Stay cool, read those books you've been meaning to read, and stay safe.
Until next time,
Deb
