Baby it's cold outside

Yes, NM, I knew you were kidding. I can't get online at work anymore, so I have to wait to get home to post anything.
Once our weather starts for warmth, though, there is no stopping it. The year we were married our wedding was held on the first day in over 60 days that it didn't go over 100 degrees. It had to be 99.9 degrees though.
-
OK, Meece, just wanted to make sure. 99.9 on your wedding day? Boy I can't imagine that! Hope it was dry and not humid at least.
I've got another frost warning for tonight. Sigh.
-
My oven is dry and hot but I don't voluntarily put my head in it!
Yep, we were married on August 13th. I would have waited, but DS was going into the military on the 30th of August and he asked that we get married at a time that he could be certain to be there.
Oh, I forgot to tell you, I had an outdoor wedding!
-
Meece I feel sorry that your wedding day was so hot. Several years ago we went to OH for my cousin's wedding and they were having a heat wave, I think the temps were close to 100 and the church they were married in didn't have air conditioning. My husband was determined to wear the new suit that he bought for that occasion. Fortunately the hall they rented for the reception was air conditioned and my hubby had a chance to cool off before he had a heat stroke.
Yesterday was cool and drizzles, last night wasn't as cool as previous nights (50's rather than 40's) and today we are expected to get closer to normal temps in the 70's.

Well, yesterday we made it above 50 degrees for the first time in over a week and we're up to 63 today (even though they said it would be 70). Our normal high is 68. At least we had sun this morning. It was very nice.
Have a good weekend.

Friday night we had a wicked thunder storm come through the area between 9 and 10 pm. I turned to the 11 pm news to hear these words from the weather guy 'lightning, south Lenoir, Stacey Place, Church'. My church is the only church on Stacey Place. My son and I jumped in his truck and headed to the area to see what happened. Suspected lightning strike hit the fellowship hall, caused a fire, the roof burned and collapsed into the main floor. The basement was flooded with water from the firehoses as well as from the water lines in the restrooms and kitchen. They managed to salvage the furniture from the youth room in the basement. No one was hurt and it can be rebuilt. The main building was saved the only thing damaged in the main building was the phone line, the phone box was blown off the side of the building.

Oh Sheila, how awful. Glad no one was injured and glad the main building was saved.
-
Wow, Sheila! I'm so sorry for the damage to the building, and so glad no people were injured and the main buidling was spared. Even though buildings can be (relatively) easily replaced, it's still distressing.
-
Shelia, I'm so sorry to hear about your church. We are praying for rain here. It is hot, hot hot. It is possible for some rain tomorrow and Monday. I will have my nipples put on Tuesday and will be off the rest of the week. I'd love to sit and watch it rain.
-
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers for my church. Another (small) thunderstorm last night about 2:00 am and it is thundering again this morning.
Sheila
-
Mary, good luck with the nipples. I'll be thinking of you on Tuesday. (I really need to decide if I'm going through the reconstruction process, you'll have to advise me I think).
We're sunny and at 54 this morning. Supposed to get to 68, we'll see. If it goes above 65, I'll get out in the garden.
Have a great day ladies.
-
Yesterday was in the low 90s, and dry. More of the same today. It was 81 as the sun set. Summer is trying to settle in, but we may have a cooling down for a couple days this week.
Hey, Suz. Still keeping up with DC? I think I would not be onboard for the Blue King Season, all alone in the middle of the ocean! Didn't Phil pass away this year (2010)? If so, this is the 2009 KC Season, so will it be part of this series?
-
Meece, please send some warmth to Michigan! Although many times we have horrid humidity too - I think the great lakes help with that
Avidly keeping up with Deadliest - Hubby and I both said that we wouldn't be up for Blue King fishing, alone with no contact and too close to the Russian Border. Phil did pass away in 2010 - I think in February. We heard that he wanted filming done even in the Hospital and he wanted everything shown. So, the 2010 opie season and his death are part of the series as far as we understand.
-
Okay, at first I thought it was during Red King Cab season, but with it nearly over, I thought it might be the Opie season.
When Phil had his blod clot, I thought he was in bad health, surprised when he went back into the captains chair gripping the cigarette!
-
Me too! I thought it would be a wake up call for him and he's stop smoking and stop drinking red bull. Oh well. I'm going to miss him.
-
I, too love DC. It is my favorite show, but have missed most of it recently. I just hope Capt. Phil's boys will learn from their dad's mistakes. You cannot chain smoke and not sleep for long or it will catch up with you.
-
Glad we have another DC watcher Mary! I hope the boys learn from their dad's mistakes too although Jake got in a little legal trouble recently.
-
Have you seen how the boys work with a lit cigarette hanging out of their lips all the time? They don't get the sleep either. I wonder if Jake was Drowning his sorrows, since he was arrested just a couple weeks after his dad died?
-
I remember when Jake really was a greenhorn and Josh hadn't even begun to work on the boat.
-
Yep, I've watched it for many years. Hard living, hard drinking and hard on the body. I suppose it is like many things, people follow what other family members do, like those who work in mines. In my home state of Louisiana, it was working on oil rigs or in chemical plants along the Mississippi. So many people just did it because their dads did it.
We finally got rain this afternoon and this evening. My son was at the house washing his car. I told him he was our good luck charm when we need reain.
-
We had a very hot afternoon. I worked outside as long as I could, but came in when I got too hot. Now the wind is blowing and we have a gray haze blown in.
-
I've been watching it a long time too. I really wish they wouldn't smoke but I guess that's part of the stress. I think it is like the mines or oil rigs, maybe they feel their lives will be short anyway so why take care of the body. I agree Meece, I think Jake was drowning his sorrows. At least he got his license back and they dropped some of the charges.
Glad it rained today Mary. We managed to get to a high of 64 - still too cold for me. I think tomorrow is in the 50s. Brrrrr.
-
Sun is back out, and it is about 86 on my back porch, 90 in the greenhouse.
-
It was a beautiful day here in Maine, sunny, warm, then the breeze came up, and turned into a wind and got chilly. Still, I got a lot of mowing done, and enjoyed listening to the wind in the trees and the wind chimes.
-
More stormy weather again yesterday afternoon, not as bad as Friday though. The insurance people will meet with the pastor and sec/treas today. Fire marshall released his report, fire was offically caused by a lightning strike. Saturday afternoon, the church sec/treas rented a storage unit to put the furniture rescued from basement in. Owner of the storage unit gave us a price break because we are a church with a catastrophic incident. Yesterday at services, the lights kept browning when the air conditioner came on and the organ's memory settings were not working. They will have Duke power out to check the transformer and lines coming in the church as well as a electrician to check the electric lines inside the church.
Heavy rain this morning, expected to rain most of the day and lighter rain tomorrow.
Sheila
-
It sounds like you need that electrical system check as sson as possible. So glad that the incident did not interfere with your worship service yesterday.
-
Meece, they are going to have the electrical checked out asap probably today. I was reading in Sunday's paper (fire happened too late to make Saturday's paper) the article that was written about the catastrophe, it ended with a quote from one of the members 'Step back and watch the Lord do his business'. The preacher gave the women of the church this job to do, try to create an inventory of all the items in the kitchen area. My suggestion is to have each woman write up a list of what they remember in the kitchen and then compile all the lists together into a master list. I started making my list yesterday after church.
Sheila
-
Apparently the weather guessers were big fat liars yesterday when they guessed we'd be in the fifties today - we are currently at 66 degrees - the highest temp in many, many days! What a pleasant change of pace.
Sheila, again I'm so sorry about your church - what a tedious chore to inventory all of the kitchen items. Good luck with the renovation.
-
Thank you Suzette, we are still in the 'shock' stage. We will know more after meeting with the insurance people but what the sec/treas said we have a good policy but trying to remember the contents of the kitchen is going to be stressful.
Sheila
-
Well from in the 90s yesterday to drizzly rain today. I need to dress in layers from a swim suit to a parka!
