Grillin and Chillin

Happy Monday Everyone! it's sunny here today but we're back to hot weather this week. Our short reprieve was really nice and I'll be happy when the really hot days are gone. It's a holiday weekend here and like all weekends it just flew by. Even though it's a holiday we don't have any plans for today. My daughter is just happy to have a day off from work and relax. Yesterday my oldest daughter and son in law went to visit their kids in college so they're tired from the round trip. I'm just as happy not to have company or go anywhere. I'm sure my son in law is happy to relax and enjoy his day off from work. Last night we grilled up some burgers for dinner and tonight we're going to do the same thing. Neither my daughter nor I feel like spending time in the kitchen and cooking so it's basically a night off for both of us. My community seems very quiet so I don't know if some of my neighbors are away or if they're just relaxing like we are. What's going on in your little corner of the myLot world?

It’s going to be pretty hot here this week too. I’m just enjoying the long weekend. Tomorrow it’s back at school for the kids and work for my hubby and I.

@marlina It will definitely be really hot. I do worry about this heat, but hopefully it's not too bad.

A normal Monday here. I heard two neighbors mowing the lawn, I know I have to do the same, but I was not in the mood. Today is cloudy and cool, so mowing will be another day.

@Marilynda1225 I would not complain if there were no mosquitoes. I hate working outside because of those horrible Tiger mosquitoes.

@LadyDuck I will agree with you on that. Mosquites make being outside miserable

Mowing is something I never enjoyed doing so I'm very happy we have lawn service here.

The 3-day weekend flew by. I can't believe it's Tuesday already. Couldn't get hubby to help me; so nothing was accomplished this weekend. Our neighborhood was quiet too. Have a good new week.

Our neighborhood seemed unusually quiet this weekend. Didn't even hear any fireworks

@Marilynda1225 They set off a lot of fireworks early in the weekend; but then it was quiet. No one even cut their grass on Sunday or Monday.

Our kids went back to school last week but now that it's so hot some of the schools without air conditioning are having early dismissal

@Marilynda1225 is it that bad that they need air conditioning? Couldn't they just leave the windows open all day and all night?

Nothing much going on. I went out for a walk as usual, but a lot of fallen trees are still not cleared.

Hopefully none of those fallen trees did any damage.

@Beestring when we have hurricanes here we see lots of fallen trees on houses and cars and it's likely that they will also fall on the power lines and knock out the power.

@Marilynda1225 Not sure if anyone got hit by fallen trees. But they are still blocking some of the roads.

Well, so far it is pretty peaceful, which seems weird considering school is out. Perhaps the kids are sleeping late. So far, my downstairs neighbor hasn’t started making a racket, so I’m a happy camper. I hope your day continues to be peaceful!

Hope your neighbor didn't ruin your peace and quiet. Surprisingly my neighborhood was very quiet all day and it was weird for a holiday. Didn't even hear fireworks.

We're waiting for some spring weather. It's still a bit too rainy and overcast at the moment. I guess the warmer weather will get here soon enough. It certainly won't get here until it's ready.

We're at opposite seasons so we're waiting for cooler weather to arrive. This week we're having a heat wave and it's very hot and uncomfortable.

I too haven't felt like doing much cooking lately. Since my son went back to the city it isn't much fun cooking for one.

My mom always said the same thing about cooking for one person. I never really understood what she meant until recently. Even cooking for two is hard when I've been used to preparing meals for a family for ages.@Kandae11 @marlina
