Hi Nella

Right now, we are having a heat wave although at this point, we are getting
a break thank goodness. 

Usually, we have a climate that isn't all that extreme. It's more or less
like Washington State nearer the ocean or like Portland Oregon.

Michelle:

I didn't realize you are a Canadian.

I live in northwest Arkansas.

What is it like there?
