Hi Nella and Bernice, good to hear from the both of you again.
We are in the middle of a heat wave as well, temps were in the 
nineties and
it is very humid today again too. Miss A says that it is hot in 
Arizona,
which is typical for there, and that it is cooler in Florida, ( 
but, not by
much. )
My little girl doesn't like fireworks or fire crackers or 
thunder, so, we're
chilling out here in the air conditioned house.
I am wearing a red tee shirt, blue jeans and white socks, does 
that count
for being patriotic Nella? Lol.
I made myself some hot dogs, home made potato and macaroni 
salads, and I'll
top it all off later with a patriotic cookie that a friend found 
at the
store for us. And, yes Terry, I did  clean up the kitchen, lol
I am working on a pair of slippers that are in my school colors ( 
red and
black ) next will be my Dallas Cowboys slippers.
Stay cool and safe too!

Today is the sixth day of this heat wave with temps over 90, and 
we have one
more coming tomorrow before it breaks with a cool front and 
thunder storms.

We don't usually do much for the summer holidays because there 
are so many
fire crackers and other cherry rockets going off. My son-in-law 
has P T S D
from being Iraq and they are terrifying for him.

My older grandson is at a Christian camp this week, and it is way 
too hot to
be outside.

Well, I called someone from my church who's husband died about 2 
years ago
and asked her if she would like to go to my town's celebration 
with me. It
just so happened that she was going to go anyway. They have had 
things going
on for a few days, and today was the parade and craft sale and 
games and
good food. I of course, wanted to see the crafts. I begged off on 
going to
the parade, because my leg is still quite painful. I wanted to 
save my
walking for the crafts. This is the first time I left my LoLo 
home since I
got her. She didn't seem to mind spending a bit of time in her 
crate. It was
just too hot to drag her along.

There was a tie die vendor where I bought myself a tote bag and 
one for my
daughter also. There were home made jams, jellies, honey, and 
peanut butter.
One vendor had home made dog treats that sounded pretty healthy. 
Several
jewelery vendors were interesting. I was going to buy a matching 
bracelet
and necklace, but I couldn't find the color I wanted. So many of 
them have
their own web site as this one did. I can go online and pickout 
the beads
and they will make it for me.

The real find that I was excited about was wooden trivets. This 
man cuts
them in such a way that when you pull up on the handle, you see 
that the
lines are really cuts and they unfold into a really cool basket. 
I saw his
work at our Lilac festival for a couple of years, but not this 
year. I kept
bugging the person I was with at the festival about finding him. 
Today, he
said he hadn't been their. The trivits were a rabbit, frog, a 
shamrock, a
heart, and a rectangle. Before I had seen a maple leaf, so I 
asked if he had
one and he said no. Can you make one and mail it to me, I asked. 
He said he
would. So, it pays to ask for what you want.

I watered my flowers and vegetables this morning before it got 
very hot, and
after the craft sale I finished the book I was reading and caught 
up on
emails. So I didn't do anything patriotic, but I have enjoyed 
being here in
my air conditioning.

Bernice and the adorable LoLo.

Happy, happy Independence Day to all you KK crafters



I need to apologize about not sending out Want To Know Wednesday 
last week;
I just found it in my draft folder.  I'm not really sure how that 
happened,
but it did, so I will include the question in this message.



Actually it's not really a question, but more of a challenge.  I 
wanted
everyone to try to get the contact information for a person who 
might be a
good Monday night chat speaker.  I'm sure you folks at convention 
are
meeting countless interesting people, so tell them about KK and 
ask if they
would like to speak to the group.  I'm sure the rest of us have 
friends,
church members, relatives or coworkers who might be interesting 
speakers.



Jill has agreed to take on Monday Night Chat due to all the 
changes in my
life.  Let's all give her a hand and make Monday night chat 
better than
ever.



Now for this week's questions.



What is everyone doing for Independence Day?



Did any of you make craft items or decorate using red, white and 
blue?



Perhaps Tracy is knitting patriotic socks. Lol



I hope all of you are having a wonderful holiday.



Take care and be safe out there.

Nella
