It's hot....'nough said.

This last week has been hot. That gross hot that starts off in the morning and only in the evening do you get some sort of break. (mind you, I do know that my friends in NC might seem as if they are in Dante's Inferno. For once it was hotter all week there than it was here! And at least we have the water close by to get a nice breeze!) Wednesday all the girls game over for book club. We had it outside and the weather was actually quite nice! Since it was so hot that afternoon, I cut up every fruit I could get my hands on! I can't believe how great the fruit tasted. The watermelon, pineapple, cherries and strawberries were to die for. And my icing on the cake was finding rhubarb. I decided since most people had never tasted it, I'd make it in a pie with some strawberries. I was a bit worried since I couldn't find my grandmothers recipe, but Betty Crocker did me a solid! There was not a piece left for Geoff :) On Friday we found a new restaurant in Savannah called EOS. It was pretty darn good (very small portions though). We then watched Narnia (Joe insisted). Saturday was a LONG DAY. We finally got our boat and it is a DREAM. We had our lesson at the marina we choose to dry dock the boat (that has dolphins EVERYWHERE). So funny that as we take the boat out... we go right by Paula Deans house (you know, where she films her show. The guys actually saw her husband later that night, and Paula was watching tv in her house). Back to the boat. It goes a lot faster than I thought! I refuse to drive it though. I wanna take my safety class first. The wind in your hair as you see the beautiful marshes and coast. So relaxing! Well after lunch, we buy some more stuff for the boat since the guys were going to take it out that evening. I had invited the girls over to watch PS I LOVE You (if you read the book...don't watch the movie...ugh). We had a good time. And by about 9:30pm everyone left, except Ava since her husband was also on this trip. She finally left once we got ahold of them. Mind you it was dark. And none of these guys had been on these waters let alone at night. By 11:00pm I am worried. I know the boat has a GPS, but I thought for sure they were stuck (it was low tide). Finally at 11:45pm an exhausted Geoff pulls gets in bed. He was tired but had a HUGE grin on his face. Seems all the guys thought it would be fun to take the boat to River Street in Downtown Savannah. They docked the boat and went to eat and it was pitch black going back. Good lord! Sunday it was hot yet again and Geoff and I scrambled to get food for the BBQ we were having after our kickball game (which I had 4 RBI's...wohoo!). We won by a landslide!! Then we had 12 people for the BBQ/pool party. The water was 89 degrees. We ate great food and had a good time. And by 9:30 we were ready to hit the hay! Busy, busy weekend...but a ton of fun!
