July heat hits the Eastside hard

Good Morning. It is 10:21 a.m and the temp outside is a whopping 82F. The high today is expected to hit the mid 90's. We have had a heat advisory at 6:30 a.m. At that time the temp was 72F. Lots of people are outside with their kiddos playing at the lake and the water parks. Not us. We have fans with ice and the ac going. Thanks mom.

Yesterday it was 87 and I took my mom a hot fudge sundae. With no kids around, I was able to drop in and cool her off. To bad her room faces the setting sun...the west.

I am amazed at how much information I have recalled when the heat hits. Between my mom, grandma and my aunt and uncle, the morning and evening prep starts. From salads, ice tea, water, sandwiches and tons of ice, the boys are learning how to survive a heat wave. I have often wondered if I have prepared them enough if there were ever a power outage during the heat. Only time will tell.
In much of the Midwest and the east, they are experiencing the heat with showers... lighting storms are hitting them for the next few days. I often complain about living here in the great northwest until I see other states and realize just how lucky we are.

I will keep you updated on the weather later on tonight. Off to conserve energy.
