Wedding Rings and Sweat Rings

Summer came barging in early today, thrusting unseasonably hot temperatures in our northerly path to Canada.

The past few days were spent in Charleston, West Virginia, helping son Chris and his bride-to-be Gail set up for their wedding. Weather forecasts had been somewhat hostile, threatening to hit the mid-nineties on the big day.

Fortunately, milder temps prevailed. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was, shall we say, lively – with music and dancing continuing long after Reg and I were tucked into bed.

Our surprise traveling companion promises to stick with us, radiating sizzling heat as we drive north toward the U.S. border. Who would have thought we’d be battling 95°+ temperatures prior to the summer solstice. We sure didn’t.
