It's hot!

Here in good ol' Estacada, it doesn't get hot very often. Hot for us is like anything above 85. Today, the day of our garage sale, it was around 95. Who wants to go out and shop in that kind of heat?! Not me. Nevertheless, Brenan and I have spent hours upon hours outside trying to find solace in the shade. Then, there was poor, poor Walter who voluntarily chose to hang outside with us all day. The poor pup spent all day napping under my chair, chasing bees, and smelling flowers. He had it real tough. The good news is that the squirt bottle training is paying off and he has gotten a lot better about not barking at people as they walk by. For our own entertainment, and at no discomfort to us (fortunately) the power in downtown Estacada got knocked out. Grocery stores, drug stores, movie stores, and probably the worst- Sparky's Pizza- all without power. Luckily for us, Sparky's ovens aren't run on electricity, so they could still make us pizza. Unluckily for them, their air conditioner and fans couldn't be turned on due to said power failure, so they were baking in there just as quickly as their pizzas. Then I realized that hot pizza on a hot day wasn't exactly what hit the spot. I could have gone for something more like popsicles in a pool to keep me cool. No, I did NOT try to rhyme. Hopefully it will cool down in the next hour-or-so so that we can go down and enjoy the Summer Celebration downtown.
