In years past, Bev and I took the children to Florida at the end of summer. Usually we were there for both my and Nikki's birthdays. Then we came home in time for a week of preparation, and school began. It was always a little sad as we left Navarre Beach because it mean't summer and summer vacation was over. This year we took our Grandsons to the beach this last week of July. That has left me a little off because I still have another HOT month of summer left. And boy is it looking like a scorcher. The predicted high over the next 3 days is 100. Then the heat index will make it feel much, much worse. And I suspect that September and possibly October will be above average temps. So there's no relief in sight. Fortunately, I have my kayaks. This should be the best time to avoid the heat of the road and get in some water-sport.
