Brrrrrrr. What a waste of a summer this has been. Temps are in the 60s this week, probably till Saturday. Might set some records for lowest daily highs. Up north, lows could get into the 30s. It's August!! Where is this global warming we keep hearing about? I'm going to go outside and spray aerosols into the air.

We were thinking about going camping again Friday night, but not sure if we will now. Would probably be rather chilly.

The kids had haircuts last nights. John always seems to age about 5 years when he gets a haircut. He's a handsome boy. And it's fun when Hanna gets tha hair cut away so it isn't hanging in her face, and we can see her happy bubbly (most of the time!) pretty face.
