sweating it out

It’s been H.O.T.! My little town got up to 113 deg. two days this week. Another hot one today, (111 deg. projected). It’s kind of a three ring circus to get the house cooled down. I don’t have central air conditioning and I’m in an old house that needs the windows upgraded. I have a little deLonghi Penguino that I’m rolling around with the sun. I’m grateful that I only lost my electric (*fingers crossed* / knock on wood) on Tuesday night for a bit. It’s also my “vacation” week but I have no desire to leave the house, or be in the yard, or do the shopping I was looking forward to. “Vacation,” I’m not sure even sure what that is any more. work work work

“My Little Grass Shack” -Ukulele Tutorial w/Aaron
http://theukulelesite.com Aaron teaches the changes to a classic Hapa-Haole Hawaiian song – “My Little Grass Shack”. In the lesson we show the words at the beginning, the chords in the middle, and at the end you can jam along.

My Little Grass Shack – Hawaiian Dance
This song was written in 1933 by Tommy Harrison, Bill Cogswell, and Johnny Noble in Hawaii, this was a hit song in the Hawaiian musical style known as hapa haole. With lyrics in both English and Hawaiian, hapa haole means “half foreign” and used in a literal sense to mean “multi-racial”.

My home town is actually a vacation town. Here she is in all her glory Saturday night. I sure do miss those sunsets. I look forward to being there full time soon.
