Finally

The warm weather seems to finally have hit Buffalo. It was well over 90 degrees today. Of course with that warm weather comes the humidity. Last night I participated in the Chase Corporate Challenge - Buffalo. It was a 3.5 mile race through downtown Buffalo. I have not ran that distance in awhile and I felt every step. My time was not all that bad really, 37.08 minutes. There were definately faster, but I was proud I did not leave the race on a stretcher as Tania thought I might. Not too soon after the race ended - the clouds decided to give us a little shower. It was the heaviest down pour of rain I have ever seen. The lightening was striking everywhere and of course we were in a very wooded part of Buffalo. So - I stood in the monsoon vs. getting very charred. Good memories were had by all.
With the warm weather comes the time that I open the pool. The boys have been bugging me for weeks to open it. I relented and opened it on Memorial Day - but it was only 67 degrees outside. The boys jumped in and jumped right out. Today was a different story, they have been in the pool since the got home from school.
And what goes best with hot weather?? Well FROG EYE SALAD of course. After months of talking about it, I finally made big ol' batch of the heavenly treat for a friend of ours that is coming to dinner tomorrow. I am out to convert the world to the King of Mormon Salads!! I think I was missing my Mom just a bit too and making something that she knows I love helps bring her a bit closer to the heart.

At least I know my sisters have that dramatic flare I have grown to love! That rainbow has only been on there for a few months.
