The American Boy Choir, from Princeton, New Jersey will be performing jointly with Adolf Fredriks Grosskor, a Swedish boys choir. We are looking forward to an interesting evening. I'll let you know how it goes!
The weather is getting nicer all the time and I've noticed that my interest in blogging has fallen. I suspect that may be the way of things during the mild Scandinavian summers, which are so UNLIKE Texas. As Samantha will tell you, no one wants to spend much time outside unless you're wearing your bathing suit and are headed for a dip in the pool. Not so, here. Its so mild outside that you try to do everything out there, and with the daylight hours extending you find yourself sleeping less and doing more.
So, this is for all those Texans out there, who are on the brink of triple digit temperatures becoming an everyday fact of life:
YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN TEXAS in JULY WHEN...
* The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
* The trees are whistling for the dogs.
* The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
* Hot water now comes out of both taps.
* You can make sun tea instantly.
* You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.
* The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly.
* You discover that in July it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car.
* You discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.
* You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
* You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.
* Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"
* You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
* The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper.
* Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs.
*The cows are giving evaporated milk.
So turn up that A.C. and
Rejoice Evermore!
