    But we can laugh in the winter.
    Actually if you want hot summers come to South Texas and we also have high humidity. I stay inside or in the car most of the time. But we have very mild winters. We had one frost in Galveston last winter, if it gets down in the 40's we think it's freezing.

    Try dabbing some cool water behind your ears and a cool wash cloth around the back of your neck. When I lived in NW Arizona I'd keep a damp wash cloth in the freezer!! It will help with some of the heat.

    Living in the Kuwait is tough at this time of year we have average temperatures of 115. Fortunately everything is airconditioned. We spend very little time outdoors which gives me plenty of time to quilt.

    We are having a heat wave in Middle Tennessee as well, and lots of nasty humidity to go with the heat. I struggled with the idea of putting in a new a/c unit (there is a great reason for that) but thank goodness that we did, I who never gets warm and barely breaks a sweat am just a little warm I have to say. UGH!!! is right.

    You sound like my DH! He'd live in summer all of the time, I believe. But give me the winter any day. Just don't do heat well at all!
