I am SO HOT...

Well, the wife MIGHT agree (no guarantee)...but I am not talking about physical appearance. It is absolutely miserable up here! Some beg to differ...crazy heat lovers. Temps were in the mid-80s today and the air is still a bit on the heavy side. I prefer winter as you know...so I have some trouble adjusting to the hot months. July and August are killers for me...but as September rolls around I know cooler temps and snow are on their way. So I sound like I am rushing the summer away. I do not get to enjoy it at all because I am always at work, doing chores, or side work of some kind. So really I wish summer away as fast as possible.

Tonight was a good night though. I made a typical "picnic dinner" with hot dogs, chips, beans, corn, and a cold pop. Afterwards, we drove into Petoskey and got a small ice cream at Murdick's and walked through the Pennsylvania Park. We decided to meander down to see how the break wall is coming along (they are rebuilding it this summer). It appears that good progress is being made...but it is going to be a while before the project is done. The air was a bit hazy but sitting on the boat dock was a great place to catch a peek of all the boats floating around. We walked passed the softball game and got out of there.

I did not have my camera otherwise I would have a better story and some pictures to go along with it...I need to get better about that.

Enough for tonight...goodnight from Northern Michigan!
