We spent the weekend at the Lake of the Ozarks and it was HOT! The temperature was in the upper 90’s all weekend but the worse part was at night and in the evenings it was so humid sitting outside was not even an option.

Some how, we had a good time anyway. We shopped, just a little, and went out for a few good meals. The most fun was at the water park. We were there for almost five hours and wiped out when we left. The heat is supposed to break tomorrow and last through the weekend.
Mary and I are hoping to get in another long weekend before Labor Day but we’ll have to see.

While there I finally started a new book. I am reading “A Thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini (he wrote the Kite Runner). I’m almost finished and must say that it is quite good. A much different story than the Kite Runner. It takes place in Afghanistan and though this one did not make me cry, it is equally as engrossing. I should finish it tonight or tomorrow.

My brother is recovering at home after having his gall bladder removed last week. Apparently the stone was the size of an egg and the bladder so swollen it was pushing into his liver. It was quite painful but after a few days he’s much better.

My blood test results are due at any moment, I’ll post tomorrow
