Hi all! How was your weekend? We are well and truly into summer now, yes? Hal and I walked Duncan yesterday evening around 8:00, and the air was still very hot and heavy. It's more difficult to breathe in that kind of weather, and I tire more easily. I'm always thankful for central air conditioning this time of the year. I hope you had a good Fourth of July; ours was very relaxing. Last night, we had a no-fuss meal of grilled hot dogs with sides and some leftover dessert from my mom's cookout on Saturday. My mom made a chocolate sheet cake, and I made a trifle. The trifle is what I'm writing about today.
