This Summer has been much, much more pleasurable than any of the other Summers we’ve spent in this region.
My spouse plus I retired to this part almost 20 years ago. My pal and I were both able to stop toiling when my pal and I were 60. So, we’ve had a leisurely retirement as my pal and I are both nearing 70. That meant that my pal and I were able to play lots of hockey, go for hikes plus prefer plenty of travel for nearly two decades. But as my pal and I close in on 70, my pal and I are truly slowing down. And that means less energy plus time for doing all the stuff that my pal and I once enjoyed. But that’s just part of getting older plus we’re more accepting of it than my pal and I are trying to resist it. We’re fortunate to be so healthy at this age so slowing down isn’t all that bad. Still, my pal and I miss getting out of the air conditioner during the Summer. The heat plus humidity are just too intense for us during the afternoon this time of year. My pal and I get up truly early to get outside for a walk or errands. But it’s cabin plus inside the central air conditioner from late morning on; However, my pal and I had a ductless heat pump added to our sunroom this past Springtime plus it’s glorious. Even in the middle of the afternoon my pal and I can prefer some sunshine plus purple sky thanks to the ductless heat pump. Having air conditioner while feeling like we’re outside a bit truly has helped our spirits this Summer. Of course, we’re both ready for the heat plus humidity to abate. But that won’t be happening for at least a couple of months as it’s only June. Until then, we’ll just keep enjoying the cooling comfort of the sunroom.
