I must admit, when I read the requests about the heat, I was stumped for
awhile. Living in a hot and humid location, I had to actually think
about how we deal with the heat. Someone else was right when they said
that most of us have air-conditioning. Not just our homes, but our cars
and our shopping malls, churches, schools, etc. etc. Not that the air
conditioning always works, mind you!
We have learned that when we are outdoors (and no where around the
climate controlled environment we have grown too accustomed to) the
best way to stay cool is to keep the body hydrated. Thus, we consume
tons of iced tea!! The sweeter the tea, the farther into the Deep South
you are. At least it used to be that way. Now my family drinks more
cold water than tea. Add a slice of lemon or lime and it is just a
little more special.
You can also try washing your hair, and letting it air dry, or putting
your feet in a tub of cold water while fanning yourself. Since you
can't do much else while enjoying that method, at least put on some
soothing music. If you have an electric fan, then while your feet cool
you down, make lace!
