Summer in Chico
Yes, it's hot. The only reason it hasn't been hotter is that there is so much smoke hanging over the valley from the 31 fires going on in this county that the heat can't get in. I will be glad when the smoke has cleared. I can't stand how hard it is to breathe. And this morning even though they say not to, I had to open the front door to let in a breeze. No fresh air gets to me after a while.
I have been busy completing swap-bot swaps and now I have to get myself in gear to finish up a doily I am making for another swap. Yeah, I know, that kind of talk belongs in my Crafty Rantings blog. But this is what I've been doing. I will try to post there before I have to go to work.
I am looking forward to having Friday off. I may be going to Gridley to spend the 4th with my second family. Saturday I will be having dinner with David and Dad. I admit I love the Saturday tradition. I am going to see about making something to take and maybe that will be chicken again or a dessert. I have to see towards the end of the week.
It is just about time to start shopping for airline tickets to New Hampshire for October. I will go looking and then consult with Mom and Den and if I find something close to affordable, I will book the tickets, put in for vacation, notify Torse, Bev and Jeannie and start putting together the plans. I know it's early but it will give me something to look forward to and get me through the summer.
Jo mentioned going overnight to Reno and I am super excited about that. That could be a ton of fun! I hope we can fit it into our schedules. I always love spending time with my best friend. I enjoy how we can sit in a room and not talk and be comfortable or how we can talk about anything.
I admit that I am looking forward to being able to get into a pool on Friday. If everyone is there I will get to see all the kids and that is always fun. Isabelle's birthday party was yesterday but I just had other plans and didn't go. First time in a couple of years that I have missed Miss Isabelle's birthday party. Ouch.
Matt babbled to me on the phone last night. So did Andrew! Den brought the phone over to Andrew and had him say "Hi Aunt Lynn" and surprisingly, I could understand his attempt. The "hi" was definitely clear. Matt would rather push buttons. He muted me which was interesting. Probably something his mother wished she could have done back when she was small and I was telling her not to do something.
I am off to post to Crafty Rantings. Hopefully this week I will get to spend more time with my friends. I have been kind of a hermit lately. Too hot to stay home and be a hermit.
Summer in Chico. Makes it hard to knit or crochet. Or, lately, breathe!

Ah, we're just now getting the effects of smokiness and haze from the fires burning near King City and in Big Sur. It's hard to tell where the fog ends and the smoke begins, but I can sure smell it today.

Sorry about the smoke! I hope it gets better soon. And glad you got to talk to Andrew! Matt is definitely not much for talking--he's so excited that he gets to hold the phone (which is usually a no-no) that he'd rather push buttons! He'll talk soon though, I'm training him!
