RG,

Summer is both a blessing and a curse in North Texas. We have some blistering hot and humid days...especially in August. If you can believe it there have been some days when it was too hot to go swimming!!!!!

On the other hand.....Willie Nelson's 4th of July picnic; float trips down the Guadalupe River; hiking in the Hill Country; sunsets that bring a tear to your eye; dancing until dawn down at Gruene Hall; chasing fire flies when I was a kid; making out in the drive in with my girl friends in high school.....lots of great summer memories.

Wife and I will take some trips, work in the yard, gasp at our air conditioning bills and continue to savor every minute of this amazing journey called "life".
