Lunch on a Hot day

You can tell by the picture of our outdoor thermometer that we have been having some warm, might I say HOT, weather! Saturday was about 105 degrees, Yesterday, Sunday was 109 degrees, but at the Reservation where we were having our mission church service and Sunday school it was up to 115 degree's. Today as you can see it is about 105 degrees.
My youngest daughter and son-in-law with their 9 mo old foster son were coming to town. They live 14 miles away. Our grandson is at our church camp so was not with them this time.
We had them over for lunch since it had been several weeks since we had seen them and had them over for a visit.

Since it was already 95 degrees at 10 AM and up to 100 degrees at 11 AM, I decided to do something cool and easy. We had a nice lettuce salad and I made a bunch of marinated chicken wings out on the grill. (No need to heat up our house, right?) We had a big pitcher of ice cold pink lemon aid, and for desert, I quick made some instant chocolate pudding with dab of cool whip and a cherry on top. This picture was taken in my fridge, I didn't want to set it all out and give it a chance to warm up. We enjoyed our lunch and visit very much. Our air conditioner works well and keeps us and our house cool. It has been hard keeping enough moisture on our garden and lawn. Things dry up so fast with the high temp's. Also forest fires are a issue, Saturday there was a huge fire just West of our city. Over 100 homes had to be evacuated. It sounds like that fire is under control now and no homes burnt and no injuries.
