Howdy Ho!

So this week has been very unusual for me  All week we here in western Canada have been hit by what the Western US has had as well. We've been in a heat dome Normally our average temp is 22 C (71.6F) and all week we were above the mid 30's (95F)  I was melting!!! Things could have been worse, one small village in British Columbia broke Canadian records by reaching 49.6 C (121.28). Then a  nearby fire happened and now over 80% of the entire town is gone  Downtown, houses, mostly everything all gone . 

Anywho, last night we here had thunderstorms, a bit of hail here, and now today is back in the mid 20's.

So what about you, I know we are having lots of whacky weather, what happened in the past week in your neck of the woods?

We had a bit slower week this week here at the GA Blog. So shall we look back and see the goings on here?

Monday was a day that we look forward to, as in the CSR Discussion Day. Did you get to read @Marty's story and join in the discussion?

Friday, our prompt guru Wayne was here and bought two new prompts for you to try:

On Saturday, Comsie dropped by with another great article to help out new and old authors (not necessarily age  )? This week you might find it all a bit unbelievable 😮 

Myr was his dedicated self by bringing us a new word every day over the past week. I'll admit, I didn't know any of these .
