Howdy all!  Happy day before official Independence Day 2024! It's hot here!  But such is this time of year.  I run across people who seem to think this heat thing unusual.  I disagree. I'd be shocked if temps were in the 70's or 80's.  Just won't happen.  Never has as I recall.  Summer heat is on full throttle.  Gotta deal with it until Fall.  I remind myself to hydrate and find shade or air conditioning when possible and just deal with it.  No brainer, right?  Ha PRESENTING JULY 3rd WEDNESDAY READER: LESLIE ELMAN'S TRIVIA AND FASCINATING FACTS Are so interesting to me.  Frankly, super fascinating. QUICK QUESTION What's the most beautiful place I have personally seen? Hands down - the Grand Tetons.  You? COLLECTION OF OXYMORONS Are make-ya-look-think-scratch your head and chuckle!  Might you have another 1 or 2 to add to the list? EASY BUTTERMILK PIE RECIPE Slice of delish.  I like to top my slice of buttermilk pie with bananas.  But strawberries and peaches are stellar as well. Don't forget the fresh whipped cream.  Deal breaker if you don't (unless you just dislike fresh whipped cream - that would be absolutely crazy talk to me - ha!)
