Sure is nice out here!









By Iowa standards, 95-98 degrees would be a scorcher but it isn't bad out here. Those temps are above normal, though, but it is supposed to "cool off" into the upper 80's so that will be good. Nothing but shorts, flip flops and tank tops. You never wonder how to dress. :-)

I took Sharon and Arne to the airport this morning for their 8:45 flight to Fort Lauderdale. We are staying at their dump (as you can tell from the first three photos) while they are off to the ocean visiting good friends for two weeks. Mark and I shall enjoy this little job of housesitting at Terravita while they are gone. :-)

Sharon and Arne's grandson Taylor stayed with them for three days so we enjoyed taking him hiking and playing with Sox over at Megan's. Taylor also enjoyed their new pool. No one is actually supposed to get in the pool for about 2 weeks while it cures, but Taylor and Sox both managed to skip that rule for a minute or two........the water is still extremely cold from filling so they weren't in there for long!!

The weather back in Iowa sounded good for a couple of days but now it sounds back to normal: dreary, cold, damp. I am not missing it yet.............
