Because he wants to lie somewhere soft just a little more than he wants to lie somewhere cool, I guess. Animals are funny.Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-52346324977247883062013-06-30T11:01:44.485-06:002013-06-30T11:01:44.485-06:00The photo helps lots.

I remember moving here from Michigan and not knowing what a swamp cooler was either -- they just don't work if it is at all humid but for us they are wonderful!

I couldn't run 6.2 miles. I don't know if I could run a mile. I walk every day but that's NOT the same as running. Congratulations! And good luck in the race. And thank you for the explanation of a swamp cooler...we clearly don't have those in Indiana! :)Mrs. Always Randomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05621796911952199649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-88960143218490870992013-06-29T18:40:35.412-06:002013-06-29T18:40:35.412-06:00Nice list!

I too love the old, ornate architecture with so much detail. New buildings may be pretty, even stunning, but nothing like the grand old ones from years ago. I know it made your movie all that much more enjoyable... along with the organ music. Nothing nicer to listen to than someone who clearly loves the music they can make!Josie Two Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388032819905416258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-62084443425316863022013-06-29T17:21:13.012-06:002013-06-29T17:21:13.012-06:00A wonderful list of thankful items.

Ahh well. That set-up's an old trick in places like India, where they used to use curtains of vetiver root dipped in water at the doors and windows.<br /><br />I do think this hop could have been made for you - it fits SO well with your whole theme.<br /><br />The architecture sounds gorgeous - pictures next time, if you can! Over here I love to go to cities like Oxford, because the buildings there are stunning.<br /><br />Yay for movies, fresh produce and community. And for you joining our little Thankful community into the bargain :)<br />Lizzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480448062269641320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-32578091824016446702013-06-29T15:05:41.341-06:002013-06-29T15:05:41.341-06:00A swamp cooler is basically a big fan with water-s...A swamp cooler is basically a big fan with water-soaked pads, which blows cool, moist air through the house. It only provides relief when the humidity is low, though. It's an affordable alternative to air conditioning in the desert.

There is a wonderful, old theater back in my hometown which sounds like El Capitan. We went to a few movies there, as well as the ballet, plays, and my high school graduation. I love the look and feel of the place. The best part being the ceiling, which looks just like the nighttime sky full of stars.<br />Congrats on the 10K!! You did it!!!<br />Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.com
