Whew! It has been soooo hot over here in Michigan this summer! Although I shouldn't complain because last summer seemed chilly to me every time we had a get-together outside. It is difficult to exercise outside when it is so hot unless it is in the early early morning.
To keep cool we have been running the air conditioner for about an hour at a time, the shutting off to preserve energy. I typically don't like to sleep with the air conditioner on because it is too cold for my taste so whenever possible I like to sleep with the window open and a fan on in the bedroom.
I went swimming twice, once in Lake Huron (about 36 miles East of me) and then again at an inland lake by my uncle's house (about 1 hour West of me). I like to swim, although I am not a very strong swimmer so it tires me out fast!
In two weekends there is my family vacation. I posted pictures from last year's vacation. I hope to do so again this year!
Congratulations to Japan for FIFA Cup championship win!
