I haven't thought of that before.<br /><br />I love what that guy said about Francis Scott Key and the bombs...hehehe.<br /><br />Also, I rather like your Bible-themed named, but Wealthian has a certain nice ring to it, I guess. <br /><br />Oh, now I read that you found warm sunshine. Sorry for what I said earlier, but I hadn't read all the way through. When Zach and I found shade, we were glad for it. Maybe it's because I'd been at the park with him and pushing him in the stroller beforehand...<br /><br />LOL @ bugles being named after a snack. :)<br /><br /><br />It's amazing how famous you Heisses have become in Durham!

Ha...I remember reading that you went swimming recently when all the people were telling you the water was freezing so it struck me funny that you thought yesterday was chilly. To be honest, I was chilly yesterday morning, but by afternoon (bright and sunny, high 74), I'd warmed up. Zach and I sat under a shade tree during a Memorial Day service in downtown Mebane. By the time you move from NC, you'll maybe be like the locals thinking winter is actually cold when it's not by Canadian and/or Utah standards. :) <br /><br />I always enjoy reading about your adventures. I learn quite a lot from your posts and it's more interesting than a history or botany or linguistic lesson on my own..so, thanks! :)Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.com
