The Heading Straight for Triple Digits Weekly Link Round-Up


It looks like Phoenix is heading right for triple digit temperatures, and I'm not complaining. How can I when I have a roof over my head, four available methods to cool my house... and a large swimming pool in the back garden? Besides, I moved here because I love the sun and I love the warmth, so I'm in my element.

One way to prove that I'm in my element is the fact that Denis and I visited one of my favorite places-- the Water Ranch-- from about 10 AM to 1 PM today when the temperatures were well into the 90s and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. We rambled all over the place and saw some very special things, which I'll talk about in my Saturday Snapshot post. But before I wander back to the Water Ranch, let me see what kind of links I managed to find this week!

  5. I loved the sound effects quiz - that was so funny! I am one of those people who dropped cursive writing just as soon as I could. I've always been so much better and neater with print.

    1. My handwriting is a mix of cursive and printing. The only thing that "saved" my handwriting was becoming interested in calligraphy many years ago.
