IT'S HOT

Even though the thermometer in the motor home shows an outside temperature of 114, it really only got up to about 108 yesterday. Only 108! Are you kidding? That's still about 25 degrees above my comfort zone. Where is that coastal fog we left behind in Oregon, where the daytime temperatures were typically in the 60's. If it sounds like I'm whining, well, I am. We returned to Lake Havasu this year about 3-4 weeks earlier than we normally do, so it looks like we will have to wait a little longer before our good winter weather arrives.
On a sad note, Marc called yesterday morning to tell us that Chandra's dad Joe, passed away on the 26th. His passing was unexpected, which makes it all the more difficult for family & friends. Chandra was on a plane north to Monterey, CA, to be with her mom and brothers, and Marc was home temporarily with Laila, before he most likely would also be heading for CA. We only met Chandra's parents, Joe and Eloise a few times, but they are a part of our extended family, and our condolences and prayers are with Eloise and Chandra during this period of grief. We're waiting to hear from Marc, to see if there's anything we can do to help the family through this tough time.
