We have AC!

DS got it running around 8:30 last night. It took a few hours to cool down the house, but by this morning we had cool and humidity free.


I'm starting out earlier and hope to get back around noon.  Tomorrow afternoon I'm going to see if my mechanic can charge up my ac in the car.  I'm scheduled to go to Atlanta again tomorrow, but I'm calling the guy today to make sure he isn't another no show.


Have a wonderful day today.

Karen it's too hot to be riding around with no AC. My little truck needs some work on the AC.

I'm not knocking you for your desire to have A/C, Karen, 'cause I know how miserable I'd be without mine on the really hot, humid days.....but do you sometimes wonder how we ever got along back before A/C came to be?!!

Katie, back then there was more trees and open spaces and not so much concrete and asphalt that reflects the heat.

Katie and Karen, can't you just see kids today if they didn't have A/C? Whine whine. LOL A friend and I were just saying the other day how you don't see a lot of kids playing outside in the neighborhoods any more. When I was a kid,in the summer,

Kt, for me I think that when you are younger it don't get you as bad. I can remember my kids out when it was so hot running and playing and they would come in dripping wet and red as beets I would make them sit inside or out in the shade with coolaid. I would teach them to lay on a blanket and watch the clouds and find things up there. Always worked to get them to cool down... I still think a 2 story house is cooler than anything with one floor. But the upstairs was bad....lol But we would sit fans in the windows downstairs and somehow we were able to sleep at night..


Not now I am afraid.....
