I think I will probably come back here- I am hoping to have a little writing inspiration infect me. The last thing I want to do is put up boring stuff, and that's the path I fear I was headed down. I will still be checking in on my favorite blogs, like yours! xoxoxoxShellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930262815304757150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-68175786827109332012014-06-25T06:27:02.019-05:002014-06-25T06:27:02.019-05:00esboston: Haha!

At my grandma's little "rancho" (you know, the one with the outhouse) it got very hot. The only cooling she had was a couple of fans and a lawn sprinkler on the roof, that supposedly helped keep the place cool. I have no idea if that worked or not. I think not. At night though, we'd either sleep with all the windows open to catch the breeze, or we'd sleep outside. <br /><br />This is what I love about your stories, they either make me feel, or they make me think, or they make me remember.<br />Love your blog Shelly...Pat Tilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699973774273291205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-3037746522580992352014-06-04T10:43:50.205-05:002014-06-04T10:43:50.205-05:00Theresa: In our hot humid climate down here, I thi...Theresa: In our hot humid climate down here, I think I would die a slow death without fans and central air conditioning for ten months of the year~Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930262815304757150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-80566115340664188812014-06-04T10:27:34.479-05:002014-06-04T10:27:34.479-05:00I felt the setting as if I were there!
