A Winner and a Heat Wave

Sorry for the delay in posting my giveaway winner, we spent the weekend on our "honey do" list and I was too tired to even think about the blog.  While cleaning out my crafting stash, I found a few items to add to the giveaway.

STITCHING

Since we spent the entire weekend on the "honey do" list, I did not get any new stitching done.  Here is an update on "Season of Love" by CCN.  I messed up on this one, but I am not going to fix it.  Can you  find it?

WEATHER

We will be watching the Gulf this week to see if Tropical Depression 4 will impact the first week of school.  DS is hoping for a hurricane day to extend his summer.  (Can you believe school starts next week?)  We still have 119 days left to hurricane season, so I am hoping the busy year predictions are wrong.

We are having record temps this week.  The heat index (temp plus humidity) has been in the 110 - 115 degree range with heat advisories lasting until 8pm.  Yesterday was the hottest day so far this summer.  A/C repairmen are working non-stop, we are breaking record temps daily and under nearly constant heat advisories -- IT IS HOT!  We usually don't see any real fall-like temperatures until November.  It is going to be a long August (and September and October).

Hope you are having cooler temperatures and enjoying what remains of the summer.
