Excessive Heat Warning

We had another fun walk today, thankful we walk in the morning before the heat got too bad. The picture below was actually taken yesterday.  We stopped at the apartment and everyone had to look into the bedroom window. It kind of looked like a lot of peeping toms but thankfully no one was IN the apartment at the time.
The walkers were actually checking out the mirror in the apartment bedroom.  Right after the walk I drove to Sam's Club to pick up groceries for the meal on Sunday and also picked up food to make on Monday for the meal for Rhoda and Lee. They are getting home from the hospital tomorrow. The Borks are going to bring them a meal on Sunday so I get Monday.
Anna and Sarah brought the girls and came out to swim around 10:30 am. It was already oppressively hot and the only way to stay cool was to stay inside or in a lake. Rebekah brought her 2 and joined them at Rachel's beach.
 Faith, Berlica and Mackenson also came.

Anna also brought Hux out to swim.
Cheryl Grassi brought a couple of ladies from Bluffton, Indiana out to the Goose Ranch. Pat Wahl and  Melanie Gerber went to Gulf Shores and stayed at Diane's place a couple months ago. Beth gave them the tour of the Goose Ranch, gave them a boat ride then brought them to Diane's house. Diane made lunch for them and invited mom, Beth, Rhonda, Joan and me too . We all enjoyed lunch in her air conditioned house. After the lunch we took a golf cart tour over to the farm and introduced them to all the horses.  From there Pat and Melanie were taken to mom's house.
Mom and I left around 3:15 pm to drive to Bloomington to see Rhoda and Lee's new baby girl Iris. Below mom is holding her 68th great grand child.
There are 2 more still due that we know of this year. Rebekah and Tara are expecting. Iris Hope is doing very well. Rhoda and Lee are so happy and relieved that she is here and in perfect health. We had a good visit then left after 5:00 pm. It was still terribly hot even that late with 93 degrees and a heat index of 108. It is much too hot to work outside. Tomorrow there is another excessive heat warning with temperatures expected to reach mid to high 90s with a real feel of 110 degrees. Tomorrow all horse work will need to be done early morning.
