and the heat continues

We went to the pool yesterday, had 15 mins to swim and then mother nature cleared the pool with a spectacular thunder and light show...sigh.... But, that brought with it some cooler breezes...briefly, until the humidity blanketed the evening. The house temp reached 84 last night.... We put the fans on, and it does manage to cool down to 77 by morning. But the good news this summer.... with all this lack of rain, we have really no mosquitos to speak of! It's lovely! We can still enjoy dinner on the deck, and play in the yard. Imagine that, you can actually play outside without being drained of all your blood!

What else is exciting?? Hmmm. Well, after more ups and down with the sale and closing of the business.... We're back on. The closing will not be by June 30th, however, it will take place before we leave for Wales....

Oh, and then I got a call yesterday from the band manager. Seems awhile back, Kurt had thoughtfully volunteered us to host a German family this summer, and she was wondering if the offer still stood. Cool! So, the week after we return from Wales, we'll have a family of three here from Munich!!! The mother, Heidi is 41, great, only a few years older than me, the husband, 45 and their son, Tomas, is 15. They speak both German and English. Kurt said, "oh, too bad... you should have to work to communicate, it's the only way you'd improve your German!" He's right... I'll end up being lazy and our conversations will be in English! heh Much fun to come!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee
