IT'S RAINING IN COLONIAL HEIGHTS

It is actually raining this morning here in Colonial Heights, looking at the radar it doesn't look like it is going to last to long though so you better enjoy it this morning. The temperature here in Colonial Heights reached 95 yesterday which did break the old record of 92. It does look like we will get some fall like temperatures after todays high in the 80's it like by Friday it is going to struggle to get to 70. The furniture for the new room should be arriving this morning so we will have somewhere to set when watching tv in the new room, now only if the electrician will come back by and get the shed wired. There are couple of birthdays that I would like to reconize today even though they are not bloggers, today is Me Ma Evelyn's birthday and it is also former blogger Gary Fox's birthday as well. While typing this mornings entry into the blog I have bean bit three times by a mosquito and I have not seen him yet, hopefully we will get some cold weather and kill off the mosquitoes soon. MICKEY
