Summer Notes- Thursday, July 25th. Cloudy, 67 degrees and 97% humidity. Like cold soup.


 Some one named Guido Mocafico Jr took this picture.  I don't know which is more interesting to me.  The image or the name.  The sidebar picture file is almost empty.  Needs a refill.

I am coloring the pages my husband didn't color- they are turning out- well, I will have them here...when I take their pictures..... turning out very very nicely.

I'm reading the AuPair Affair by Tessa Bailey.  Boston Hockey player and the college student (advanced degree) hired to au pair for his pre teen daughter..   When I used to watch/listen to the Boston sports talk show from 10am to 2pm, they would occasionally have a phone interview with a Boston Hockey Player- defense.  One day while they were interviewing this guy- the gal who was dog sitting his high maintenance dog-- got stuck in the building elevator with the dog (who went nuts).  Reading this book...I can imagine what the book guy would have done in this situation.....like tear the elevator apart to get her out.  Should have been in the book. Building had an elevator.

So....I finally had hot dogs for lunch...well, actually I only eat one meal late in the afternoon- so lunch/dinner.  I will be having them again...today..... but need to find a way to blacken them....the toaster oven didn't do enough. And by blacken..I actually mean burned to a blackened crisp.  So..It will take time and effort.  No smoke detector.

I haven't uncovered the ornamental containers yet this morning.  I wrote checks for the bills yesterday.  Especially for the electric bill- two AC units going 24/7.  Was high but reasonable.  With 97% humidity.

  1. Hi, I too like my hot dogs burnt. I find the best way is to put a little butter in a frying pan and cook them on a high heat with the fan on. People have a hard time understanding that.
    Take care.
