Lazy Summer Days

[Bikerbettyboop]

Warm summer days almost always make me lazy.. how about you?

[richard kolasch]

warm days,in the morning,we like to sit on the porch.

[Bikerbettyboop]

We were going to sit outdoors this morning but it was downright chilly... 45 degrees but supposed to get up to 90 this afternoon... talk about a change in temps!

[richard kolasch]

enjoy good life,,and walk in the park in the evenings.

[mgchan]

When it gets too hot... I'd rather stay indoors! LOL

[richard kolasch]

mr.chan,,,i live in texas for awhile....
i am used to it.

its gets hot here too.
humidy is high ,with the heat index.

feels like over 100.

[Bikerbettyboop]

When it gets too hot you almost have to stay indoors in order to survive!!

[richard kolasch]

we do to,stay indoors.
Bunny cant take the heat.

the basement is cooler.

[Bikerbettyboop]

That's nice that you have a cool basement... probably gets a lot of use in the summer!

[richard kolasch]

yes it does,,alot in the summer.
the basement is fix up nice.

[Sally77]

I left school a little early and we took the girls fishing yesterday, that was a lot of fun.

[Bikerbettyboop]

yes it does,,alot in the summer.
the basement is fix up nice.

There aren't many basements here in Arizona. In fact, I've never lived in a house with a basement. But I think it would be nice! I bet yours is nice. Is it like your family room? I know some people fix theirs up and others more or less use it for storage.

[Bikerbettyboop]

I left school a little early and we took the girls fishing yesterday, that was a lot of fun.

Hi Sally.. I'm so glad you got to spend a nice day with your girls fishing yesterday.. it does sound like a lot of fun. Did you all catch anything? :confused:

[Sally77]

Hi Biker!! We caught some blue gill, perch, bass, and Mike caught a pretty big cat fish right before we left... It was a really nice day

[Sally77]

You dont have many basements out there? Everyone has a basement out here, Ours is a family room... some our soo old you cant really fix them up...

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi Biker!! We caught some blue gill, perch, bass, and Mike caught a pretty big cat fish right before we left... It was a really nice day

Sally that sounds like you caught some nice fish... did your girls catch some? I haven't had cat fish in a 100 years! We used to fish at Lake Havasu in Arizona when I was a kid and I remember catching blue gill... we kids thought it was fun cause they put up a fight... LOL!! My dad used to catch cat fish.. but you gotta be careful with them but they sure are good when cooked right. My dad would pan fry them.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Having spent time in Ohio (mine and my husband's family all came from Ohio), I remember the basements. We used to play hide and seek in my great grandmother's basement when we were kids. She had tons of old stuff in there. Sometimes we'd get into her cellar but I didn't like it cause one of my cousins found a snake in there once and it was too dark and smelled musty.... the basement smelled too as I remember... funny.. I hadn't thought about those memories in a long long time!!

I have been in houses though with basements that were part of the living space of the house and some of them are really really nice!!

[Sally77]

Yep, the girls both caught some, they were little, so we threw them all back, but it was a lot of fun, I think the kids just like to cast-ha ha

[Sally77]

Yes, ours is set up like a family room. I'm here right now-thats where the computer is-- I took the computer room when I moved in

[Bikerbettyboop]

That sounds really nice Sally! My husband's computer is in our music room and my computer is actually my business computer here in my shop. But my shop is only a few steps away from my house.... next to the garage... we are thinking about building another building to either use as another garage or build the shop bigger... not sure which we're going to do.. everything is so darned expensive but we are outgrowing the garage and the business!!

[Sally77]

That sounds nice- at least you dont have to travel far for work!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

I always enjoyed taking my son fishing and you're right, I think they like playing at fishing as much as they actually like catching a fish. My son had a Mickey Mouse fishing outfit and he thought he was "hot stuff" with that rod and reel. He sure was cute back then... but now he's all grown up and not as cute anymore LOL!!

And it is nice to be able to walk to work... that was part of the reason we bought this land was because it was on the old highway and we could build both our house and our business here too. My husband still works and he keeps asking me when I'm going to become rich enough to support both of us... I laugh at him when he says that!! He does help with the business but I can't afford to pay him what he makes as an engineer!! LOL!!

[Sally77]

thats cute, the girls have barbie fishing poles...
Do you have a store store, or are you just online?

[bboop480]

Sally that sounds like you caught some nice fish... did your girls catch some? I haven't had cat fish in a 100 years!

ewwwwww fishing....(my opinion

[Sally77]

You dont like to fish? I grew up as an outdoors girl- My dad use to take us hunting, fishing, camping all the time- you wouldnt know it much now-I'm pretty much a girly girl-ha ha

[Bikerbettyboop]

I have a shop and warehouse and on-line business. The shop is small. The online business does more business.

[Bikerbettyboop]

hhahah BBoop480.. cute shark!!

I haven't been fishing in a 100 years... fished as a kid and when my son was young but not since my son got tired of fishing. My husband and I are not into fishing or hunting... we'd rather ride motorcycles and play music.

[Sally77]

Thats great.. Do you order stuff as customers order and then send it out when you get the orders?

[Sally77]

I went out Saturday night- and someone offered to take my out for a ride- my response-- Will a car seat fit on the back?? ha ha

[richard kolasch]

now that is getting to hot here,we try to stay in
more often.

[Bikerbettyboop]

It does feel like summer already doesn't it? Well tomorrow it's official!!

[richard kolasch]

i was out in the garage,fixing the floor.
it was already hot.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Like I said in an earlier post.. please be careful out in the garage working in the heat.. it can be dangerous! Just ask anyone.. heat stroke is bad!

[richard kolasch]

i am done for now.have to do a little more.
but i do it in the morning.when its not to hot.

[Bikerbettyboop]

I'm glad you're not working out there in the mid-day heat. I have to spend Thursday cleaning my house in prep for all my visitors!!

[richard kolasch]

i have been inside most of the day.

posting on here,,made it to 6800 post.

[Sally77]

I cant really believe its summer all ready! The weather here has been really odd. its been like maybe 75-80. We've only been in the pool twice. This weekend is Jefferson Days-its like a street fair-so it will most likely rain. It always rains for events--Jefferson Days-- Our county fair is here...

[richard kolasch]

to hot outside to do anything.
just on the chat line posting.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi Sally.. how was the Jefferson Days celebration? Fun I hope! I love summer!

[Bikerbettyboop]

It definitely feels like it should be a lazy summer day here... but alas, I have to get to work soon!

[Sally77]

I didnt go. The kids werent here- so I just stayed home. Could hear the bands at night. That was nice. Not too much to do there eat fair food-

[Bikerbettyboop]

Sounds like it was enjoyable at a distance since you could hear the bands. Sometimes that nicer than actually being there fighting the crowds.

Doesn't Ohio have a lot of fairs during the summer?

[Sally77]

Every county has a fair usually in August
Jefferson days is every Year about the same time
Next town over has an ox roast every Year in June
We have a Strawberry Festival in June
Theres always stuff to do around here if you look...

[Bikerbettyboop]

Sounds like a lot of things to do.. just take your choice. Don't you just love summer? I'd love to be there for the strawberry festival... think I'd pass on the ox roast though...

[Sally77]

Ha Ha The ox roast is similar to jefferson days-friday through sunday they have bands at night, little pagents for the kids, kid games, the beer wagon, and just go out and visit with your friends.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Do they really roast an ox or is that just what they call the fair?

[Sally77]

I they have something turning on a big fire all night. It might be ox? pig?

[Bikerbettyboop]

Probably a pig?

[Bikerbettyboop]

IT certainly felt like lazy days of summer this past weekend. Anyone else feel the same way?

[Bikerbettyboop]

I love the summer time!!!

[richard kolasch]

YES,,we do too,like summer.
in the evening we sit out side on the swing.

[Bikerbettyboop]

We have a front deck and a back deck and we sit outside in the mornings and have coffee and we sit out again in the evenings and play our guitars. It's nice... we see a lot of wildlife activity in the mornings and evenings here. And beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

[Neckless]

beautiful sunrises and sunsets

Oh My!! That's my kind of life there!!
All you need is an ocean side and a Hammock!!!

I sould love to sit on your verandah!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

You're welcome to come visit us anytime you'd like!!

We don't have views of the ocean but we do have views of the surrounding mountains and valley and lake (dry) and river beds (also dry).

[Neckless]

Oh that DRY is NO good for the fishes and water creatures.

Lakes and Rivers = Water!!
Here...we'll put this water in for the dry places BBB.
http://www.americanrivers.org/images/content/photos/large_22569.jpg

I would still...love your surroundings.

[Bikerbettyboop]

That looks like a river up in northern California where I used to fish when I was younger!! Sure looks refreshing!!

[richard kolasch]

its getting too hot here.

[Bikerbettyboop]

It's hot here too... wish that river in the above photo was running by my house!!

[richard kolasch]

being this hot here,we stay in side now.

[Bikerbettyboop]

We stay in as much as we can but the great outdoors always seems to be calling! LOL! Heat or no heat!!

[richard kolasch]

Hey, Richard. Too hot to do anything.

[richard kolasch]

it is to hot,we stay inside.

[lowellahoward]

Good idea.... But my condo is very hot at night when I am here. Isulation not good I think.

[Bikerbettyboop]

It's hard to imagine your condo as being hot since you are so close to the beach... no cool night breezes?

[Neckless]

My crib sure is nice and cozy and cool!
You're right BBB.

Good question Lowell...
It's hard to imagine your condo as being hot since you are so close to the beach... no cool night breezes?

[Bikerbettyboop]

When my dad lived in Torrance, he was about 10 miles from the ocean and he had a pool and I do remember it was warm enough during the summer for us to swim in his pool at night.

But I don't remember swimming in the ocean much at night... water was too cold for me.

[Neckless]

Ocean water is very cooool!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

I used to enjoy spending time in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of southern California. Swimming, Snorkeling, Surfing........ back when I was younger!

[richard kolasch]

those 5 cactus plants are doing good.

[Bikerbettyboop]

good to hear it! Hope they thrive for you!!

[richard kolasch]

i just have to be careful of the prickly pear cactus.

[lowellahoward]

i just have to be careful of the prickly pear cactus.
Wait until it gets bigger!!!!!

[richard kolasch]

then i will make sure i wont touch it.
maybe carry it from the bottom.

[lowellahoward]

OK Just be careful!

[bboop480]

Oh How We Make Mistakes By Picking Up Cacti....lol

[richard kolasch]

so far the cactus are still green.

[lowellahoward]

Hah, Just don't try to over take care of them (like extra watering). And I think you'll do just fine.

[bettyboopfan]

I think I need to plant some cacti here at my place. That is the only thing that will probably survive in this heat and drought.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Cacti are meant to be looked at and not handled.... too many stickers to be handled. Lowell is right... don't over take care of them.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Today is farmers market day in Chino Valley. Plums and peaches are ripe!!

[richard kolasch]

i just look at them,and water them once a week,on mondays.
they are doing fine here.

[Bikerbettyboop]

That is good to hear that they are doing fine.
