After a nice week-and-a-half in Oregon visiting family, we're back home again in the Sacramento heat. Where our A/C is still out, and the repairman couldn't meet with us yesterday or today, so these near-100-degree temps are making us desperate. :O

While up north, I went to Tryon Creek a couple of times and visited Portland's Saturday Market (

The A/C still isn't fixed, though it's been diagnosed and a new circuit board is on order. We made the appointment with the guy a week ago, so having him flake out on Friday and then Saturday (and Monday-- a referral came by instead) sure didn't help. Fortunately, the temps have dropped a little, which really helps. The 100-degree heat Friday-Sunday made things miserable. I'm hoping it's fixed before the temps climb again. And it's even hotter where YOU live!

Aren't those earrings gorgeous? I have three pairs that don't show up there at all, so clearly designs get retired after awhile, which is too bad. But that does mean NEW designs, since the vendor seems to be making them by hand in his workshop, and I guess he can only do so much. :O

My mother's dog is just a nightmare. He's SO unpleasant to be around, but my mother refuses to do anything about training him. He knows "sit," and he doesn't always do it. He also eats random things, so all the bedroom and bathroom doors are kept shut, and he still gets himself in trouble. Two surgeries thus far to extricate things from his stomach.

But it's all her doing. This is what happens when you let dogs raise themselves, and all of her dogs have been like that. This is just the worst one!
