Labor Day Celebration and More

Hello everyone,

Heat and Smoke are the themes for this week.  We have 

had triple digit temperatures for over two weeks, and now

we are surrounded by fires.  It is so bad we can

smell the smoke in our house. But we don't have it as

bad as Texas.  I want to send prayers to everyone, who is 

suffering from the devastation of the Hurricane. 

My other prayers are for everyone traveling on this

long holiday weekend. 

At the beginning of this summer, I decorated our patio with a 

patriotic theme.  I received "God Bless America" patriotic

plaque for my birthday in June. 

Fourth of July I decorated my swing and lounge chair with

a Stars and Stripes comforter and shams. 

My granddaughter and I made two pillows from scarfs I found at

Walmart.  I taught my granddaughter how to put a zipper in the

bottom of the each pillow. I have noticed sewing for young girls

is not taught in our public schools.  The art of sewing is

an art I wish was still encouraged as an elective in

high school.  

Thanks for joining me today.

Joyously,

Betty
