A Bunch of Days, Some Caching, and HOT, HOT, Hot 6/5-9/2008

Well it certainly has been sweltering here as we are sure it has been all around the east and south. About all we have been doing is trying to keep cool. We went out and bought a small room air conditioner on Friday to put in the RV as it really got unbearable in here on Thursday. It really has cooled it off and the last few nights we had to turn it down as it got quite cool. We have done a little caching mostly in the morning on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday we stayed around Camillus and found some of the new caches that have been put out in the last week or so. There was one in Camillus Mall, one at Holy Family Church, one at Fairmount Glen Miniature Golf, one down near Geddes Brook, and the last one was at Shove Park in the woods and we watched Luke's baseball game. He lost another tough game and he had 1 hit. On Sunday we drove over to Thornden Park and did 5 caches there one in the rose garden, which was starting to bloom and the roses were beautiful, one in the woods up a hill that I had to slide down on my rump because it was so steep, one in the woods in a stump, one in a guy wire holding up a phone pole and the last one there was a nano hidden in an amphitheater on a fence. We went to Westminster Park then and a puzzle cache hidden in a rock wall. You had to solve the coords which were written in Chinese numbers before you could find it. That was it for caching as it was getting hotter by the minute so it was back to the air conditioning. We had some great dinners as Friday we went out with Ceil, Mark, George and Jeanette to Twin Trees Two for pizza. It was nice seeing George and Jeanette again and they haven't changed at all in 2 years. George and I plan on playing golf when it cools off a little this week. Saturday night Melissa and Tim asked us to go downtown for Taste of Syracuse which was unbearably hot and so so crowded. They did a lousy job in arranging the food booths as they put them in a square with the main stage and you had to wade through people 10-12 deep to get any food. You really would think that they could come up with a better plan than they had or else a larger place to hold it. Music was not our kind of music either. Sunday Melissa and Tim fixed a GREAT dinner of steamed clams, pasta salad, chicken spedies and strawberry pie.........it was YUMMY. Tonight is hot dog night with salad, something easy and quick in this heat. Not much else going on as Mom washed today and I watched the Yankees lose to Kansas City. Like I said it's really been to hot to do much of anything except stay in and try and keep cool. Well almost time for dinner so we will say until sometime soon we love and miss you all.
