We jumped from Winter to Summer overnight, 90s all week and the same for the next 7-10 days. We are running about 10 degrees higher per day than last year. It does seem much hotter than usual and I am sure we will have a very hot summer this year. We had a pretty mild summer last year with fewer days in the 100s. I heard the average temperature in the US last year was 2.8 degrees higher than any other year - I think they started recording the temps back in the 1930s?
Kathy has a busy day today - first she has to clean her house, I will help of course as she will be teaching our neighbor across the street how to make jewelry. They have been talking about this for some time and late this afternoon it will happen. Kathy has selected a piece, put it together as a kit and they will be off and running later today. I am sure they will both have fun with it - - - watch this space.
This was a week for hair cuts, got Tessie bathed then a hair cut for the summer. I did the same and we are both ready for the warm summer days. This is actually the second haircut for her this year and I suspect she will get another in 3-4 months. My haircut was pretty short this time - Kathy thought I looked totally bald - guess I am not far from that anyway. It is a little short but sure feels good!!
We are headed to Anderson for Memorial week, we are looking forward to the time off. Kathy will be preparing for the next show which is early in June. I hope we have some time to get out the lake - we did not do much of that last year so I and hopeful that we make up for it this year?
Lots of interesting things on the golf front - I re posted my golf balls gain this week and golf 100 the same day. The key is to keep the CraigList posting current - for some reason I let the old ad expire, not paying attention? Played 3 times this week, got a very early start each day and finished up before new and before the heat really picked up. Next Saturday I have a golf engagement with our tenant in Redding. I wanted to treat him to a round of golf as he did a great job watching over the new roof job on the wee burn house. It will be fun to play on that course again, I have not played with him before and that will bed nice as well. Yesterday, I talked with one of the old golf regulars and mentioned that I would be up in Anderson and we were talking about golf of courses and that lead to playing at the Servillano course in Corning http://www.golfredding.com/overview/sevillano.html
- located about 40 miles South of Anderson. That is a new John Daly course with a course length of 7500 yards or so. That is pretty long as Old River is lucky to have 5400 yards. He and 2 other fellows will be joining me on Tuesday 5/29. They will drive up in the morning, playgolf then return home. That has to be a trip of over 300 miles for them - - is that crazy for what?
Guess I better get with the program - have to get out and do yard work. I did lots of trimming this week in the court yard now I need to work on the grass.
Kathy's blog contribution:
Sunday I went to a "container" sale in Manteca. The proprietor had shipped a bunch of antiques from France. Love to visit these container sales. Purchased some antique books, published in the 1800's.
What I'm reading, "The Fire Starter Sessions" by Danelle LaPorte. Very inspirational...
"It is not revolutions and upheavals that clear the road to . . . better days, but revelations, and lavishness . . . of someone's soul, inspired and ablaze."
