Sizzling-Sweltering-Steaming!

Yep! It's hot and humid! We're hoping for rain. The crops look great, but it's getting really dry, and with the corn tasseling, it's a perfect time for a good soaking rain.
Since I haven't posted since the 4th, I figured that I'd update while I'm inside cooling off! We did enjoy a very nice 4th of July celebration, and then again on the 6th we watched another great fireworks display just up the road. We enjoyed watching from Travis and Gail's house. Of course, Travis and Jake provided some excitement with their own stash of explosives. Jake nearly landed one on Dennis' backside as he was bending to pick up our "Redneck Washers" game box. It truly was accidental, but Travis and Jake certainly were tickled about it. It brought great stress and anxiety to Gail, but I remember the many "wars" that Dennis and the boys had with their fireworks, and this was tame in comparison.
On Thursday, Mike Shea came to the house to record the "SugarBabes" for the WCAZ IBD Radio Summer Contest. Zach and Wyatt and I had a cheer, and then sang the WCAZ fight song. There are six entries, and the radio audience will be voting for the best one sometime in August. You might want to call in and vote for the SugarBabes, because every person who votes will be in a drawing for a nice prize package. So, you could be a winner just for voting!
We've treated our decks with water sealer, and did Mom and Dad's on Sunday afternoon. After that, Mom and I went to the pond to watch the swimmers. Valerie and Shane were there with Trixie. Joy and Joe were there with Drew, and Drew's Aunt, Uncle and cousins. Tyler, Kathy and the boys were there also. It was a great day for being in water! And beautiful water it is!
Well....there's more I could say, but I'm cooled off now, and need to get busy. Grass is growing, so I should be out mowing!
