Good 56º morning. I think we hit 92º yesterday. Kristen had 111º in San
Gabriel on Tuesday but they got a break yesterday and it was only 104º BUT they
had a couple of earthquakes!! Even those seeming little ones (4.5) get your
nerves standing straight up!
Good thing my AC guy will be here tomorrow as Saturday is predicted to be
over 100º ... one site says 106º. UGH! AND I get my TV fixed today. YEAH!
LOL, my pal Erika in La Crescenta sent me this cartoon that was in the LA
Times...... hilarious!
My Patriots had practice with the New Orleans Saints this week. Tom Brady
and Drew Brees go back a long way and are mutually complimentary of each other.
Love this picture, after practice a little visit... notice Tom's pup!
You have to watch this.... what we are in for....
The Olympics have been so spectacular. I have LOVED the track and field events.
