Hotter than He** !

Welcome to summer in Texas.  I still would much rather be facing a possible high of 105 degrees by Monday in Texas than experience all the tornadoes up north that they've been having. This weather sure is getting more extreme as each year passes. I just hope that something can be done to stop the global warming or whatever it is that is making more unstable conditions happen each year before it is too late. 

I finally got over my cold. I just have a cough that is I think from allergies or something unrelated to the cold. I just seem to cough at some point or another every day.  Could be allergies, could be the fact that we have 4 long haired dogs, who knows.  I read online that ginger can help with coughs so I have been putting it in my smoothies and putting some in my tea in the evening.  Hopefully that will help. 

I had a nice lunch today with the empty nester's group I started. We had a nice number with 10 total showing up. I am really grateful for the core group that I can tell are the ones that show up most of the time.  It really has been nice making some friends here.  That has been the only thing really lacking here for both me and hubby.  But I work at home so it is hard to meet people. I also used to work a lot, even weekends which took up a lot of what would have been spare time too. This year I've had plenty of extra time to dwell on the lack of friends..lol  so I'm happy I'm making some finally.
