It's HOT!

It is the most hot time in Arkansas right now!  Because the humidity is so high in this area, we have two temperature readings:  one is the temperature and the other is "how hot does it feel to the skin?" We call the second one the "heat index."  On Monday the heat index was 46.11 here.  Thankfully it was a pool day at Laura's house.

I didn't write much about Laura in previous blogs.  She is one of my favorite people, as she is so thoughtful and accommodating to people.  If you have met her once, you feel as though she's a great friend already.  She is also one of the most fun people I know.  She loves to entertain people at her house.

Below are our friend Annelie (she's from Germany) and Laura at my Christmas party in 2014.  This group loves to be silly and have fun!

So Monday Jule went with Lili, Dani and Andrea to Laura's house and there met Wimee, Marissa, Jordan, Dylan and our other friend Shierlene and her four kids.  They stayed in the pool until dark!  I was working but it appears that she had a good time!
This is Davin, Daani, Jordan (behind Daani), Dylan #2 (behind Jordan swimming), Jule, Andrea, Dylan #1, Marissa.  Davin and Dylan #2 belong to Shierlene.

The first one is Maddy, Laura's youngest daughter.

If only you could hear Andrea's laugh.  I wasn't there and I can hear it right now!

Jule and I were speaking about how the decision of Anita and Christian to let her come to America has made such an impact on her life.  Anita and Christian... that gift to her was something that I wish all parents could give.  She realizes how lucky she is that you have put her first in so many areas of life.  The fact that you allowed her to get on a plane and come to a foreign country has changed her life forever.  For her whole life she will have friends and a place to stay if she wishes to visit.  These people in these photographs are some of the best people in the world.  And they all love Jule the same as their own families!

Monday night Jule stayed with Marissa.  I hear that they did not sleep very much!  :)
