We arrived at the condo about 3:00 Thursday, September 13th. It was 93 outside AND 93 INSIDE! Yup, the A/C wasn’t working. We called the repair service that handles the maintenance on the condo and they came over about 4:30. In the meanwhile, I’d unloaded most of the stuff from the truck. Talk about heat exhaustion. It was awful!

The problem ended up being easy to solve. A dead ant had blocked the electrical connection and the compressor wouldn’t kick on.

By 5:30, we had things pretty much under control and the temperature was down several degrees. We decided to go to Rockin’ Rondevous. (Ok, I pushed John because I was anxious to see old friends.)

Well, no one was there. It was depressingly empty. None of the people we hang around with were there. We had a beer, cooled off in comfort, and headed home about an hour later. The condo was still hot, but by 11:00 p.m. it was down to a normal level. Whew!!

Today, we visited with Mom, ordered a birthday cake for her, shopped for a TV set, and went to the Fun Friday by the pool. (Fun Fridays consist of music and hamburgs on the grill.) We dipped ourselves in the pool enough to cool off. I read while John soaked up a little sun. But that was short-lived because it started raining.

So we headed home. I spent the rest of the afternoon organizing stuff in the condo. It’s now comfortable and looks nice.

It’s cool and comfy. But our friends are among the missing. Sure hope they get here soon! It’s lonesome without the folks who have made it fun.
