Deal With It, Simply!

Today, I am going to reflect on all the many blessings that surround me. I think so many times when we are struggling to make ends meet we don’t take the time to be grateful what we do have.

Have a blessed Thanks Giving! Candy

God’s blessings on you day, Candy

keeping cool in this 90+ weather. I have never been into the whole using of our air conditioner but on days like today it is a blessings. I read a list of ideas to keep cool and here are a few

• Run cold water over your wrist for a minute every hour or so.
• Wear lighter clothing

I have a few of my own

• Drink ice water
• go outside every so often and when you go back in your home the air feels heavenly.
• If you don’t have air conditioning find a location that does. The mall is free you can go and sit awhile or window shop. The library is also air-conditioned.
• Senior centers have cooling locations that are free and you also get some fellowship.
• Close the curtains and keep the sun out.
• We have a window air condition so I close off the rooms we aren’t using during the day. Close closet door too no sense cooling them and wasting energy.
• ceiling fans just feeling a breeze makes me cooler!

Keep cool! If you have any tips to add please do,  Candy

 Today,  is the last day of school for my children. I always get a happy and yet overwhelmed feeling. Happy things will relax, but overwhelmed thinking what are some things they may like to do.

 I have a feeling this year sleeping may be more important than all of the years before….I have all teenagers now!

I love our Libraries and their summer reading programs. Many have fun summer activites and authors.

Barnes and Noble  2010 Summer reading and a download for a activity book.

Toledo Metroparks have compiled a list of 50 things to do in the Metroparks. Here is a PDF of all the kids activities this summer many are free.

The Library in our area always have great things for the kids to do. Rossford Public Library and the Toledo-Lucas Co. Library

The few weeks have been crazy with baseball. If you have any activities to add please feel free. Have a blessed day Candy
