Still feeling the heat.

It's been over a week since a heat wave started here. Today it is still hot at 94 degrees. That's cool compared to the 112 mark that it hit here on Wednesday of this week. We did go to town that day to escape the hottest day that we could ever remember around Western Washington. We took our time strolling and shopping in the cool air-conditioned Costco store. Then went to eat in a cool restaurant in Mount Vernon. When we passed the Red Apple grocery store on our way into town the temperature on their billboard read - 108 degrees.

By 7:00 P.M. we were home again and it was still cooking here. We just kept drinking the fluids and using every fan we had in the house, plus the AC to stay as comfortable as we possibly could.

Ron ordered another portable air conditioner, but it arrives on Monday. I'm sure we will be getting some use out of it before this summer is over, though. I'm looking forward to a cooler house in the event of another heat wave here!
