I am sad to say that my mom, as many of you know, has returned to the east coast and with her she took the cool weather. We are now running in the upper 90's close to 100 during the day. The only salvation we have is that we do not have the humidity that the east coast does and we cool off considerably at night (usually around 60-65 degrees). With the hot weather also comes the threat of fire. As many may or may not know, we have very little, if any rain, in the summer. This causes the fire threat to raise considerably and we must irrigate our lawns and gardens, if we hope to grow anything. Just today, many activities are restricted during certain times of the day (no cutting grass, running chain saws or other fire hazard activities during the hours of 1pm to 8pm). This can be tricky but is very necessary. The nice thing about the lack of rain is that there is no threat of a "rain date" when we plan our picnics and outings.
I hope my mom enjoyed her time here. We tried to keep her busy and tried to show her as much as we could of the area and its activities. Hopefully she found it to be a fun and new experience. Her presence will be missed by all but we will just have to rely on Skype for our visits for now.
Hope all is well with everyone back home.

I love seeing these photos, Linda. I was so happy Helen could come out for such a nice long visit with you and the family. Your home state looks like a beautiful place. Certainly doesn't look like the Delaware Valley! Thanks for sharing and hopefully we can talk soon. Love and hugs from me and Uncle Pat.
