As I read this thread I look to see where everyone lives. Wow 107 in TX. My DM and DS plus other family members live in TX. I've been complaing that we have been in the high 90's for months.

Enjoy.

I wish I could appreciate the chill like you do . But I have added an electric blanket to the bed already. If I need to warm up the bed before I get into it, I have fibro, I take the chill off of the bed .

But it will not be long b4 I need the heat more frequently.

It is still in the 90's here. It cooled down to 88 a few days ago. It has gotten down into the high 50's a couple of times at night but the house stays hot. I am looking forward to getting my quilts and blankets out again.

Oh how ready I am for Fall! With this little cool front we are now enjoying, it is chilly out right now & early morning. With the A/C & a ceiling fan on at all times, I do sleep with a sheet & lt. weight quilt. Sometimes when I am "flashing" I kick it all off. LOL

We're not quite as warm as Phoenix here in Tuscon, but still not ready for blankets yet! I am looking forward to cuddling under one of my own quilts tho!

Ha ha. It's been 4 blankets, a doona, an electric blanket, and the 4 legged back warmer here every night for the last 2 months. Roll on summer.
