It is hard since I once grew over 1200 roses. Now I have about 10 and I have thought of dumping them. I brought some into the house once, never do that again. A tiny bug crawled out and everyone freaked.

I've never known anyone that freaked out about bugs. I'm sorry you can't have something you obviously enjoy so much.
I'm sorry you had to give up your roses. I had to make changes in what I plant, but it's because of my knees and the fact that I just can't handle the heat anymore. Changes, always changes.
It's a shame your family is so fearful of bugs. People wouldn't be able to live without them. They serve their purpose in the world and can be quite interesting. I don't want them crawling/flying in my house either, but a little bug here or there isn't a big deal. Now what'll really freak me out is the big wolf spiders or the thousand leggers. Eeeeeeeek!!
Good morning everyone!
I had to give up my garden because of health reasons. I still miss it.
Its currently 85 with a high of 95 predicted. That doesn't count the humidity. The weatherman should just say its hot and going to get hotter.

Morning, lizards.
Heat continues, down to 60 overnight...

Me too! I can complain about the heat, but never wish for winter. In winter, I seriously wish for summer.
Hola ..
Yeah, I have been thinking about that myself .. I have a potted Yucca that, with pot, is now taller than me and I'm 6' .. not only is it heavy, but those leaves are sharp .. my deck plants always look so nice when they are, er, on the deck .. but, when it comes time to move them inside, it's a pain in the neck, back and knees .. and then, I have to move them all out again the next year ..
Maybe I should start a Bonsai hobby ..
Maybe just a better way to move them inside would be better?Hola ..

Well - Depending on the size of the plant - be it small or larger - one of these might work:
plant stands with wheels - Google Search
They did for me when I had plants in my apartment - had a huge ficus tree on a heavy duty one and it help move the tree when I NEEDED to . . .
.
This was my thought
I bet @Uncle Willie already has more then one of those in his workshop . . . Although he may have to "Clean" out some "Stuff" to find it . . .
.
Using a dolly / hand truck is as bad or worse than toting and lifting .. there are a number of stairs to deal with .. trust me, I've tried ..

yep! We use both for the few potted plants we have now. We have to wheel them in the garage when we have night temps that are too cold for them. A Bird-of-Paradise that is about 3-4' tall and wide and a ficus tree that is about 6' tall.This was my thought
Heck, just get one of these

77 with 99% humidity this morning (8 am)according to our outside thermometer (in the shade on the deck). At 4 pm, when Geordi wants to go play, it was 102, 50% humidity (per thermometer, that's not "feels like"). Needless to say, we train in the morning when my training yard is all shaded and just goof around in the afternoon, unless a storm comes through and cools off the temps. If the rain comes too early, it is still too hot and humid. We both wilt quickly. 
Yeah, right! More than once I've spent more to do-it-myself than I would have paid for outside labor to come in and do-it-for-me.Heck, just get one of these
