Anyway, we got home Saturday night and walked in to a hot house. The AC junked out while we were gone and it was 81 degrees in the house. The repairman cannot get here until Wednesday so we are learning a bit of how folks lived before AC. It is too hot for guests so it is just the 2 of us and here is what we came up with.
