Today, October 3, 2011 would have been my Father-in-Law, William Harry Shewbridge's 100th birthday. I unfortunately never had the chance to meet him as he had already passed away when Bill and I started dating.

I did get to know about his character from cards and letters I found that he had written to my mother-in-law through-out their marriage when we were cleaning out their house

How's the Weather Where You Are?

I can't believe that 2/3 of the country is actually HOTTER than the weather we have here in Florida.

I hope you are all able to keep cool while still managing to have some fun this summer.

I'm spending lots of time in the air conditioned house with the doggies and then head to the pool usually once a day to swim and do some exercising.

Don't forget to drink plenty of water, take breaks
