It's HOOOTTTTT


Well, we in the tin can (as Sally call's it) are really cookin'. As you can see from the photo, even Sam has his struggles with the new heat. However, we do have the process down to a science. We close the blinds and windows at around 10 and open them around 8:30 at night. We turn on all of the fans at full speed and if you don't mind sleeping in an airplane it really is no problem. We also have a slight bug problem; not a single screen fits the window frame it is in. So, once it is dusk we stop using all lights. We light a candle and carry it around room to room in order to eliminate bugs coming inside and it works!

Hope you are staying cool!

Look Look Sarah...


Just in case anyone actually reads this anymore I am actually posting! :) As you can see from the picture (note what is in Lucas's hand in the pic) the name of my blog is no longer legit as my name is technically Mrs. Alexander, but for now some things are not going to change.

Lucas and I are having a great summer. We spent a week in Virginia visiting family and having a second wedding reception, which was great. Then we spent a week resting in Maine. We stayed on Mount Desert Island in Acadia National Park. Our Bed and Breakfast was on what they called the "Quietside of the Island" and indeed it was. We had a lovely time sleeping and hiking around-playing it very casual. Mostly we ate A LOT of amazing food. We did have some unique adventures while we were there...hitch hiking, climbing the face of a rock mountain...things like that-we had a great time.

Since returning home I have been spending time working on our garden-something I am sooo excited about. I was going to take a picture but I don't know where the camera is-moving does that, you know. But I can describe it, the corn is WAIST high, I have at least 20 green tomatoes, the pumpkin is ginormous and my peppers look spectacular...pretty great.

Not much else is scheduled for the summer besides hanging around and enjoying the time off. I am looking forward to a week in Santa Rosa in August with Spencer and Sarah, but otherwise just chillin' here. Check out the web album for some of my favorite wedding pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/misswood23

Hope you are all enjoying your summertime!!

Love Sabrina for the Alexanders!
