The temperature sure is rising here in Kansas City. Suppose to be in the upper 90's all week long and with heat index...it may possibly feel like 110 out there! Our AC has pretty much been running nonstop today, I turn the temp up during the night, so it's not running constantly, but when it's 80 degrees by 9am rolls around, it has a hard time catching up to keep the house cool. We've shut a bunch of vents in rooms we don't use....our spare bedroom and bath, along with the garage vent. Yeah I know...we have a vent in our garage!!! It's nice though, keeps me cool when I'm out there working...sorting through our endless pile of junk! And of course, keeps the vehicles warm in the winter....which is nice too.
They have been doing some road work on our street lately. They started last week by milling the street...(tearing up the top layer or two). Today they destroyed the end of our driveway and we can't get in or out....our neighbors just decided to drive on OUR lawn to get to their driveway. (we are in a duplex, so our driveways are side by side). They could easily drive on their own, but they just had to drive on ours! GRRRR!!
Anyway, we had a nice weekend....not really weather wise, but Dad, Mom and Katie came down for a visit....along with their 3 dogs.....we had 5 dogs in the house!!! Yes all of them were in the house...it was just so hot, and we really don't have too much shade...so Buddy and Ponch got to come in for quite a few hours on saturday. Mom and I went to a few garage sales on Saturday mid morning. Found a used stroller for $5 at one....this will be the stroller at mom and dad's, so we don't have to haul our stroller up everytime we visit. Also found a highchair a few weeks back cheap to, for use in Akron!
Grilled dinner on Saturday evening....Pork Burgers from the Newell Locker. And hot dogs too. Sunday morning we all got up and went to church, then had pizza for lunch before Mom, Dad and Katie headed back home.
It was a short weekend, but was great to see them again, as it is always great to see family!!!! Next time we'll be home will be the last weekend of September, so it'll be awhile before we get to see them again.....well until they get to see all of us I guess. Allison and I will be heading up to Iowa in 2 weeks for a wedding and have planned to stop in at mom and dad's for a night or two.
Hard to believe it's already August!!!!! Summer is just flying on by, honestly...I'm ready for itto end, I can't wait for fall to get here, it'll be so much bearable for Allison and I to get out during the day. Right now we have been limited to our time outdoors b/c of the heat and humidity....plus we have been on ozone alert recently, and suppose to be on alert the rest of the week. It doesn't cool down until about 8ish...and well that doesn't work out well b/c that's when we get Allison ready for bed.
Well anyway, it is about that time to get her ready for bed, plus the season finale to Hell's Kitchen is on!!! Plus a new show starts tonight....Fat March??? Think it's like the Biggest Loser??? So thought I'd watch a few minutes of it....hope everyone stays cool this week!! It'll be a HOT one!!!

I haven't had pork burgers in forever. It must be a western Iowa thing, cuz I don't see them around here.
Chad and I LOVE Hell's Kitchen too! I thought it was the finale, but looks like there's another week! I was also hooked on Age of Love, which was on at the same time as HK, so we always had to record it. The finale was last night. Stupid shows! They get cha and you can't stop watching!
