Believe it or not but my heat kept coming on Tuesday morning. The cooler days are good if you have to mow, farm or do any outdoor work but I still like the warmer days.
I was so glad that my brother, Jerry Lowe, was able to attend the Jonas Family Reunion last Sunday. It was a long day for him but he really enjoyed being there and a big thanks to my other brother, JC Lowe, for bringing him. I know everyone that attended enjoyed all the great food and seeing all the family members especially those that you don't get to see but once a year.
