It's HOT!!

WSOC-TV
There's just no way around it this time of year...it is H.O.T. in the Queen City. The neighborhood pool feels like a bathtub, the AC can't keep up, and hot just means "cranky" in my house. Here are a few good resources for indoor/at home activities...and we have LOTS of ways to beat the heat indoors in the calendar this week (and some outdoor things, too, for those of you that LOVE the heat). Stay cool y'all!

Blessings,
The Buzz
