Not So Sweaty Monday

We made it through the heat!
Today is only supposed to be in the middle to high 70's and trust me, that's a cool front compared to what we had this weekend.
GK did really well in the heat, and I have to say, that was my biggest concern.
He was cooked, but not well done.
I brought out all the fans and had this house shut down so tight it was like 24 hour darkness had fallen upon us.
It wasn't until the second day that I remembered to pull the new blinds on the deck, that brought the temp down an immediate 10 degrees.
Wendy brought home dinner from Haggen the first night and the next two we went out.
It was nice not to stand in a kitchen, or for that matter stand anywhere cooking.

Mike and I went to town yesterday and bought some koi for the porch pond.
They are SO cool!
They seem more like fish "pets," where as the goldfish are just entertaining to look at.
I took the frogs of the kitchen table and dumped them in the pond as well.
Whatever, they just hide under the rocks and you can't see them at all.
Maybe they feel like bait in the big pond.
We took my Mom some fish for her patio pond.
She wasn't home when we got there, so we just dumped them in and left.
I talked to her later and she said they were doing just fine swimming around doing what fish do.

Here's a funny story.

When we pulled in after dinner on Saturday the Garcia's met us at the end of the driveway.
I stopped the car and got out to give them a couple of marshmallows not thinking what happens to marshmallows after being left in a car during 100.2 degree heat.
Needless to say it was quite a mess, but I couldn't back out, I'd gone to far.
I had stopped and made eye contact and they were already experiencing their normal bout of snack time asthma.
(That's when they don't get out a full meesh-maw, just half "ass" meeshes.)
So, I pulled the sticky gooey white mess from the bag and let the anxious Garcia's lick the sweet snack from my fingers.
That worked fine until they had melted marshmallow mouth and everything they touched stuck to their lips.
They didn't care, I think their stuck on the junk.
Marshmallows....crack for donkeys.



Have a great day!
