Checking on the weather where you are.....
I am thinking of a lot of you across the country today. Here in South Jersey we are beginning a four day heat wave. By 10:30 this morning it will feel like 86 degrees.....by 1:00 about 94.....and between 3:00 & 4:00....it will feel like 100. This is going to build and the temperature at night will not drop as much as normal. By Friday ...it will be 104. Yikes! We have some yard work that we must do this morning...so, we will get started early. Should only take about an hour. I am thinking about Texas Stitcher....if it is this hot here....I can't imagine what it is like down there. Be safe all of you......

Oh my goodness!! That's some hot weather, jerseycrafter! Here in Ohio it's going to get up 89 degrees but the humidity is terrible. Like right now, it's 81 degrees but feels like 93...muggy and humid and on and off showers/thunderstorms. Hope you all are staying cool!

Just like living in a steaming pot around here! People are so touchy...am I the one who's nuts? Why are they standing so close when it's so HOT? And they should be buying soap! :)

Here in NW Ohio it is supposed to get in the 90's today and the rest of the week with an even higher heat index. The humidity is bad. Good day to stay in an sew. I am getting ready for my DS2 and his family to get here from Okinawa. Their flight left this morning, and it is a 12 hour non stop flight just from Tokyo. They had to start even earlier from Okinawa to get to Tokyo. My DS1 is picking them up at O'Hare in about 3 hours, and they are staying with him tonight, Can't wait until they get here tomorrow so I can hug my babies. Thank God for Skype. Haven't hugged them in 4 years. My DH died 2 years ago so they can't see Grandpa, but he will be here in spirit.

Well better go get the bedrooms ready. Hope every one has a good week.

Ugh, I'm right there with you jerseycrafter! I'm in Florida, and I just checked the temp. As of right now, it is 91 degrees, with the heat index it is 106 and with 53% humidity! Yuck! Like walking right into a sauna when you step outside! :(

Syagel, I hope you have a wonderful time with your family. Make special memories with your grandchildren.

Guess I should feel sorry for you overheated Americans!😊 Rain every second day here in England- temp about 65 degrees- only happy ones are the weeds and they are thriving. Am not impressed because pulling them cuts into my stitching big time. Hope things get more moderate for you soon!

65!!! I remember when it got down to 65--at night!!! :) lately, if it ever hits that low, it's 5:30 AM and feels like a very tepid bath...ugh. Enjoy your 65 AND the rain! Think of me as a weed, enjoying every drop! :) Come on October! :)

Syagel, I hope you have a wonderful time with your family. It will be good for your spirit to see everyone. I am sure there are going to be a lot of "hugs all around"!! I am also sure your husband will be there in spirit as well. Let us know how everything goes!!

Syagel, soak up all the love in those hugs...better than AC! :)

VCESS....about that 65 degree temperature.....that would be a dream for us right now!! It does get hot and muggy in South Jersey but not usually until August into September. Until yesterday...the temps here would drop to around 68 at night which made things pretty nice. Last night at bedtime it was 80 degrees. So...I knew today would be a "scorcher".!! We are just plain "spoiled"!!

I hope we hear from Texas Stitcher.....
