*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* ~~~~~Try My Posts on SubStack/Click Here~~~~~ Our home was built in 1980….. …..it’s Fifty-Five Years Old!………….Geez!….. But because it’s an old house…lots of things keep breaking…lots of things need fixing….. I’ve lived here since 1992…and the air conditioner was limping along & hiccuping even back then….. It’s been duct taped…glued…and held together with spit and hope and good intentions….. The house’s A/C system has been a patchwork of repairs…lots of bandages…lots of temporary…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Yes it is….. The Summer Heat is definitely here…on our soggy…steamy…mossy…moldy…dead end road in the Swamp….. I’m already counting the weeks until (semi) cooler weather….. I look forward to September…it’s the carrot I dangle to stay motivated and get through the Summer in Sunny Sub-Tropical Florida….. Autumn…ahhhhh…cooler weather…falling leaves…brisk air…like it’s really going to be any cooler in September………….because it’s not…..

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Mid-Summer in Florida is here….. …..it’s definitely here….. …..like it or not….. …..(I don’t)….. Everything is shvitz’ing…(I’ve probably misspelled that—but you get the idea)….. EVERYTHING is drippy & sweating….. And in regards to horses…if they’re not sweating (anhidrosis)…then you need to panic….. Brave is sweating plus he’s getting a can of beer a day now (it helps horses to sweat)—(at least that’s what I’ve been told)….. *****(A Non-Sweating Horse Is A Dangerous Condition)*****…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** I’ve found that life is more like a bag of lemons than a box of chocolates….. …..besides if it were a box of chocolates…I’d be poking holes in the bottom to see what’s inside….. …..(I got in trouble as a child for doing that)….. …..(it seemed like a valid/prudent choice to me)….. But that bag of lemons….. …..it seems far more applicable in life than boxed chocolates….. I’m a big proponent of counting…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Like it or not….. The Sizzle of Summer Is Just Around The Corner….. It’s prep-time for perspiration….. Soon…we’ll willingly be in lock-down and indoors….. I need to make sure all the ceiling fans are balanced….. …..or else I’ll be manic & twitchy from the insistent/incessant clicking by the end of the summer….. …..(those of you who rely on A/C and ceiling fans (to keep the air moving) know what I mean)….. Every room…

How did they live in the South before air-conditioning?   How did they do it? (A lot of mint juleps I would guess.)   Our compressor seized yesterday…  It seized and died…   There’s no fixing it this time… It has to be replaced.     *****Monty Pyton’s “Dead Parrot” Skit*****         To reiterate my husband’s Monty Python quotes from after my last egg post——-our A/C is no more…….it has succumbed…….it is no longer pining for the…
