Tales from Texas

The air conditioner at our Houston house stopped blasting out cold air one day last week. Fortunately, we have a one-year homeowner warranty that was included when we bought the place, so the cost to repair the unit was covered. We were only without a/c for about 22 hours, but with the temperature in the upper 90s and the high humidity, it was like living in a steam room for a day. I'd love to say that I sweated off a few pounds, but for some reason that didn't happen.

Jim, Jacob, and I drove out to visit Jean and Jenna on Saturday. It was nice to see familiar faces, and we had a great time. The kids went swimming in Jean's awesome apartment pool while we adults sat in the oppressive heat watching and perspiring. We then went to check out the Katy Mills Mall, and especially liked the huge food court & the Texas-themed store there. Adam is flying to town from Colorado for the upcoming Labor Day weekend, and we plan to get together with Jean and Jen again. It is fun to have family nearby when we are so far from "home."
