Will it EVER end??????!!






Now don't get me wrong, I do love living in a tropical paradise MOST of the time, but come on, enough is enough!!!!!! Autumn was only teasing me last week it seems, for the last few days have been real scorchers AGAIN! I have been running all 3 a/c's for the last 3 days straight, non stop. I am dreading the next electricity bill, and will tackle it with a box of tissues and strong migraine medication! Anyway, since it's a Saturday I was able to kick back for a little today and enjoy some quality time with my family in the pool (even Paris Fifi was in, it was that hot!)............here's what I had to look at while floating around on the pool lounge..............it's a hard life, I know.

What a beautiful sky...so so blue.Gorgeous.
I always talk about South Africa when I comment on your blog...but your pics remind me of "home"...I miss the beautiful blue skies and tropical vegetation.
I know what you mean about the heat though,enough is enough eventually...you long for the autumn!

Isn't it funny how we tire of the seasons? I'm so ready for spring but it keeps eluding us here. Right now I'd happily trade places with you! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! ~ hugs, Lynda xo

Right now...huddled in my little blanket...I'm thinking you must be nuts! But..when it's August here and it's 120 degrees I'll be thinking the same way you are. I hope Autumn gets there fast for you!

Good Morning Amanda,
Oh my dear, you live such a hard, hard life there. LOL. Just kidding. It is just absolutely gorgeous there where you live. I do enjoy seeing your pictures you share with us. I know what you mean about being ready for fall. I'm the same way here. Before the Summer is over with, I am so ready for Fall. Fall is my favorite Season. I love watching the leaves turn different colors and all. Well hun, I don't blame you for running those 3 A/C's a bit. I would be doing the same thing here. LOL. I just have to have my A/C going when it's hot outside. We have alot of high humidity here and that makes it miserable sometimes. "THANK YOU" for sharing a day in Paradise with you. Take care my friend and have a great evening. May God Bless You and Yours.

Love & Hugs,
Karen H.

Hi Amanda!
Right now, I would love to be floating in the pool looking palm trees! But I know when it is summer here, by August I am ready for fall.
Have a wonderful week!
