I promise I am not trying to torment you!

5/23/2011

 
Someone mentioned that I had posted a lot of pictures of food recently.  Our cooks really try to pamper us Typically, Sunday nights the cook gets a break from preparing the crew's dinner, but Laurie stepped up to prepare Walt's birthday meal.  He requested homemade pizza.  And Laurie did nothing to disappoint!  It was a wonderful meal!  Happy Birthday Walt!

Sunday was an amazing conclusion to the weekend.  It was so sunny and warm I accidentially got sunburned.  It can happen very easily on this mountain.  You should remember to wear sunscreen when playing outdoors in such intense sun!  Yesterday was probably one of the warmest days so far reaching 71.  We were not much cooler than the valley this morning at 5 a.m. with 53 degrees.  If the sun manages to come out today I think it could be another warm afternoon.  After the storm late yesterday afternoon there were still a few clouds hanging around making for an interesting sunset.

that pizza looks delicious!

I wish we had low 70s right now! It doesn't even cool down that far in the evenings anymore!

It reached 97 degrees actual temperature here yesterday outside of Tampa with a "feels like" temperature of 99. Summer didn't hesitate to start down here in FL this year!

The pizzas have me drooling!

Devin, where outside of Tampa are you located? I am certainly sweltering in Dade City, FL, just North of Tampa.

Hi there John!

I'm in Riverview just south of Brandon. I cannot believe we went from absolutely beautiful weather last week to insanely hot this week!
