7-30 It's Hot!!!!!

It's Hot!!!

It's the end of July and yesterday it finally got officially to 100 degrees, normally our first 100 degree day is around July 4th. Today it got to 102 degrees. We try to beat the heat by doing whatever we want to in the morning and staying inside under the air conditioner during the hottest part of the day. This morning Larry and I went to Rogers Park to launch the boat before it got too hot. There was no wind so the lake was calm enough for us to water ski, wake board and float. As we were leaving the dock we saw something big floating in lake so we slowly went towards the object. When we got close enough to see what it was we were surprised to see a nice size buck deer floating on the lake. We didn't want to hit it so when we did our watersports we avoided it. When we were pulling the boat out our truck was the only vehicle in the parking lot. When I was putting the boat on the trailer there was no wind and I missed the trailer so Larry had to get in the lake and guide the boat on the trailer. I can't believe I did that!!! Even though I missed the trailer we still had a great day on the water.

In the afternoon Larry had a follow up appointment with his chiropractor, we left Flo at home because it was too hot. He was told his right leg was shorter than the left leg and his back was out of alignment which caused the nerves to be inflamed. The chiropractor recommended him to come in three times a week to get his back adjusted and he has to do some stretches twice a day for months to see if this will help his feet. We hope this will do the trick.

This is the fifth Thursday of the month and there was no square dancing so we stayed home this evening and watched a couple of documentaries A Clown's Recovery and Lipstick & Liquor. A Clown's Recovery was about a circus clown recovering after being burned in a fire and the love and support he got during the recovery. Lipstick & Liquor was about women alcoholics and their struggle with liquor. Both documentaries were good.
