Monday Musing – How do you beat the summer heat?

Okay, it’s summer in Texas! Believe it or not, I love this time of year. Granted, if the AC goes out, unless the repairman can be here in a flash, I’m headed for the nearest motel. Come to think of it, a motel’s not a bad idea. I’d pick one with a pool, call the family and announce, “Come on over! We have a swimming pool.”

Maybe I suffer from sunlight deprivation and should ask my doctor for a prescription to move to St. Kitts. Really! A few dark cloudy days and I’m not near as upbeat as I am when sunlight is streaming through the windows. I open all the blinds and welcome the light in my house.

To prove my point that the sun is a good thing, I decided to share a few pictures of why I love summer with you.

Back when my granddaughter turned seven, her mother and I left the husbands at home to man the fort, and we took baby snorkeling. That’s happened for seven years in a row. We choose a different country and head for sand and warm water. It’s a labor of love as we save all year and my daughter stays on alert for a fabulous deal. She out did herself when she came up with our trip to Belize. We watched dolphins play from our balcony. Took snorkeling tours and swam with sharks and string rays.

We’re always glad to get home. Back to the family and good old Texas heat because means family time to me. Here or on the road.

Because a dear friend of mine will call me out on this (right, Marsha?). And I forgive her for loving cold weather. I thought to post a few pictures that I think she would use to describe our summers.

Okay this last one should read Texas! I’ll stop now! But I had to share and ask your opinion. Is summer your time of the year?
