Sunday in the South

It is hot here and I mean HOT. The temp on the deck says it is 105 ! I have been up since 8 am. I find I have to get up early to do the laundry on the weekends in the late summer. It is too hot to do it during the shank of the day. I thought I could do it in the evening but it has not cooled off much then either. At 10:00 pm it is still 87 degrees. The A/C has been running non stop for a week.
Mother has improved but is still not up to to much mobility. I had plans yesterday to meet with friends for lunch and needed to take mother to get her glasses fixed, since the frames were bent in her fall Wed. night. I got her moving early so we were out by 10:40 and back by 11:40. I knew it was to be another hot day in the South and it was 103 by noon. I needed to get her in and out before it got to hot. After we finished at the shop we headed to Sonic, my favorite place and her's on Saturday. I got her a Bistro breakfast sandwich and headed home. Dropped her off then off to lunch with the girls.
Karren & Amy were there, Johanne & Sara with baby Micah, and Debbie who recently had fallen and broken her wrist. We caught up on all family news.
That is what is nice about this group we worked together for 15 years, before we were all downsized right out of the job. We know all about each others families and have watched the kids grown up. When we go out that is our topic, what is everyone doing and the kids achievements. We all have different jobs now and no longer see each other daily, it has become a every 6 weeks kind of get together. I am the ring leader I pick the place and set the date and time. They all show up. We do have a few who miss on occasion because of family or financial obligations,but I am always there holding the group together. They all love it and make every effort to be there since we have so much history. It is kind of like a class reunion but on more often.
Today I have chosen to rest and read, there is nothing on TV this time of year. All the shows are re runs of re runs and movies that have been on at least 3 x in the course of the year. Now is a good time to catch up on those books I have stacked by my bed. I do inter space the reading with some computer time. I have discovered you can download free games that give you and hour to test drive them. I like this because I do not get bored with a game I just get to move on to the next one. So far I have played 4 different ones and they are fun. I also blog on 2 sites so that is fun too.
I fixed mother her lunch a little while ago, so I have to go check on her. As I mentioned she will be 89 next month and her energy level seems to be dropping, she stayed in her PJ's today and was not up to doing more than sitting in her lounge chair , reading and watching TV. Gotta Go.....
