We are going to be in the same situation soon with the repairs to the balconies. They will close off the door and the windows only open a little. We can't run the air - at least when they are working - because of all the dust <br /><br />Hope it cools down for you soon.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-70080654807625609062017-07-17T20:16:57.284-04:002017-07-17T20:16:57.284-04:00Hi Jo,

Been having some very hot weather and there's scaffolding outside my windows which I cannot open properly. Awful for poor Penny. <br /><br />Scallops sounds like a plan when the weather cools down. <br /><br />Gary klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-9604699338636207742017-07-17T19:12:25.034-04:002017-07-17T19:12:25.034-04:00Me too Susan, I used to buy a gallon of bay scallo...Me too Susan, I used to buy a gallon of bay scallops in NC for $8 - delicious.
