So, is it hot where you live? I've heard from my Eastern American and Canadian friends that the temperatures and humidity has been nearly unbearable. Then heard on the news that Death Valley, California hit 53.3°C/128°F  I guess I'm enjoying days around 25°C/77°F, but most evenings we have thunder storms rolling in. My city did have the 4th largest natural disaster in Canadian history in cost of damages due to hail a couple of weeks ago. I'm curious though, how is your summer going? Are you hiding out in your air conditioned home, naked as the day you were born?  Or are you at a beach socially distanced and taking in the sun and the water. Hopefully not naked as the day your were born  

Now I don't want to forget our Southern Hemisphere friends. Let's hear from you if your are freezing your walnuts off  .

Well I could prattle on forever, but lets get to the wrap up this past week before you all turn from ruly to unruly in an instant.

Monday,  we kicked off the week right with a great review by the GA Review Team. This one from spikey582.

Wednesday Renee was back to kick off the 2020 Theme Selections for the Anthologies.

Friday was a first every Guest Prompts. We had a couple of great ones from two different members. See if one of them make you want to take one on!

Now, did you check out all the Words of the Day? If not, check em out.

Should we check in on where we were on our goals? It is so nice out, I'm curious how we did? Not bad, not bad.
