Another weekend has arrived

All I have to say is YAY!!!!!!!!  Two whole days to do or not do what I want.  How bad am I?  I thought about getting up early … although 4:30am is a little too early, and go on a hike.  I was exhausted just thinking about it.  Plus I’m not sure I could get hubby awake to go before it got too hot.  It will be a heat wave this weekend.  The temps are supposed to be in the mid 90’s.  UGH!  Not good when one has no air conditioner. 

We are going to Vegas over Memorial Day Weekend, talk about hot!  At least my sis has A/C and we won’t be wilted.  It cracks me up when people from the midwest say, “Oh, but it’s a dry heat.”  Yeah, I’m sorry, however, when the temp is around 105-115, you are still roasting.  When the sun hits the skin you can feel it start to bubble.  I actually have to look down to make sure it’s not.   The bad thing about midwest heat is the humidity.  When you are done with a shower, ready for work and walk outside you are soaked in the first 5 minutes, that bites!  However, the good thing, my skin had lots of moisture.  I would just think of it as a daily spa treatment/facial! 

I passed the small field of sheep on my way home again tonight.  There was a little baby black sheep along the fence.  He or she was so cute, I wanted to stop the car and pet it!  It’s so wierd that this field is in the middle of town, surrounded by houses, an AM/PM and coming soon a Long’s Drugs and a Holiday Inn Express.  I hope this field stays and progress doesn’t force them to sell.  That is what worries me about all the ranches along Carson Valley.  If they start selling off the land, it will be nothing but houses and development.  It is so beautiful as it is with the fields, cattle, and the Sierra’s in the background.  Unfortunately, greed gets in the way.  The ranchers die off and the ones who inherit the land don’t want to be ranchers and would rather sell it for the money.  I would hate the drive to work if all that land was developed.

I hope you all have a great weekend.  Hope the weather cooperates with whatever you plan to do.
