Sadly, the day has come when my youngest child is taller than me.
My son Paul will be 14 next month and is in a major growth spurt.
At the start of June, we were almost the same size but now Paul is
noticeably taller. He is only gloating a little because we told him
that the taller of us has to wash dishes.
It is beastly hot this week. It hit 106 degrees Farenheit (41 Celsius)
today in San Jose, with no breeze. We were missing the pool we took out
to put in a caboose rail line, so we filled our outdoor spa with cold water.
Paul has been enjoying paddling around and splashing the plants to keep
them cool too. Our
neighbors are sleeping in the cellar to get away from the heat. We
were at the hardware store on Sunday and listened to a frantic woman
complaining that she had been to five stores and all were sold out of
any size of air conditioner or fan. We are watering all of our plants
daily, spraying the dogs with water, and discussing shaving the cats.
Paul is very excited that the whole family and his best friend Zach
are going to Raging Waters water
park this Friday. Going there was one of his special requests for this
summer. In this heat, it will probably be very crowded.
