Heat Wave- How Have You Coped?

We went to camp at ICYC last week and it was the hottest week in my memory. We used to have a July week, but have started on Father's day the last several years, and usually enjoy moderate weather. I was glad I have spent more time outdoors this spring than usual, and coped pretty well. We kept everyone hydrated, had lots of ice cold watermelon,swam, and everyone made it through pretty well.
We knew our house was hot before leaving for camp and we had to "call the man" today. It was not quite as hot today, but everyone is still talking about it.
The most interesting "coping with the heat" story came tonight from a 65+ year old lady working in Cracker Barrell. She said they had a sidewalk sale last Saturday and she had to work outside. She told Susan that she had taken two of those ice packs that you use in your cooler and put them in her bra. "It worked," she exclaimed.

The Grampsmobile

That is the name that Susan has given to my golf cart. I have been wanting one for a long time, especially for camp. There are so many times when you need to run to the ball field, down to the creek, up to the pool, wherever you are not is often where you need to be. We had a couple of very old ones but they never lasted long.
Anyway, I wanted to have it to cart the grands around at the house. I plan on getting some lanes cut in my 9 acres,eventually letting the goats clear a bunch of it. I tried it out this morning and it is nice.
