How do you survive in the Desert?










You survive with "air conditioning"!!!! Without air conditioning it would be uninhabitable! That's my opinion anyway! Well last spring when we had our two units checked out, the 3 1/2 ton unit was misbehaving. We had the service guys out 4 different times-, add freon, take some freon out, put more freon in and finally add a "hard start" kit. That got us through the middle of October then it just went! It was pretty uncomfortable for a few weeks then before it started cooling down here. Anyway, this week, we forked over enough money for 1/2 a small car to get a new A/C unit put in. It was at the top of our list of things that needed to get down at the house. Ouch, it hurt, but I'm telling you, it is just miserable out here in the heat!!! That's the time of year that you question, why have I lived out here for over 30 years? Anyway, when Dad and Mom come out for their visit we'll have a working sytem for them. Typically, we can wait until maybe the first of May before we almost need it on all the time.

I'm throwing in a pic of Casey since she was outside when I took the pics. Isn't she just so cute!!! We love her to death.

Too bad we can't send you some of the cold weather we're having that you could store and let loose during the summer. Hopefully it won't be hot in March so you won't have to turn the AC on so early in the season.
