Trust me, it's really NOT hot at home!

The best thing about Facebook, and wi-fi in many RV parks, is the ability to keep up with what's going on at home, especially when there are grandbabies involved. Of course, when you're on the road, some folks like to know what the weather's doing at home too, so they can either gloat about what they have on their holiday, or know what they're missing.

I'm in the latter group at the moment. The weather is hot at home. Well, it's hot for what we're used to at home. 30C is warm, especially when there's no AC in most homes. After this couple days in Redding, CA though, I'll have to try to remember to not snark about 30C. It's 8:30 in the morning, and it's already 28C (82F). The forecast high for today is 39C; tomorrow is 41C. Ugh. The picture above is of the heat haze as we pulled into Redding at about 2:30 in the afternoon yesterday.

Last night we had a wonderful visit with Ger's aunt, and a couple of his cousins and their families. This is a part of the family we don't get to see very often, but they're a wonderful group of people and it's always fun to get together with them. Today, a couple of them are going to take us to Whiskeytown Lake to cool off. That will be fun! I have to remember to take my camera to have some pics to share later!

So the goal of the day is to stay cool, get some laundry done, and get ready to head north again. Tomorrow, it's off to La Pine, OR to visit an old buddy of Gerry's dad. A couple days in the high desert will be nice -- warm days, and cool evenings. I can get back to not being envious of the weather at home!
