Can You Say Hot

WHEW

We are under a heat wave.

Other than take my FIL to the 

grocery store yesterday, I stayed

inside all day and hooked away.

Friday night we had some storms come in.

Now more homes along the river are flooded.

Our dock is now partially under the water.

We now have water creeping up to the garage.

We may have to sandbag like our neighbor did.  

This is not the same river we are use to,

but it has now become the new normal.

Pops (FIL) does not have air in his place,

so we invited him for dinner last night

so he did not have to cook in the heat.

I made a park roast in the crock pot

with all the fixins.

Today's post continues with my

patriotic displays.

This time our mantle.

A simple one.

With greenery.

White geraniums in blue striped pitchers.

Flags.

With an antique red and blue starred 
gauze fabric draped underneath.

Once the kitties gave up my chair,
I sat back down and resumed my hooking here.
This chair is directly across from our fireplace....
where the view is very patriotic!

On another note,
the grandfather of the young man who drowned,
hired a pilot to search the river Thursday 
from the air
in hopes of finding his grandson.
Thursday morning around 7:45 am 
he was found 15 miles downriver 
from where he drowned.
The family now has closure at least.
Still a heartbreaking story for all of us
who live here.

Well off to work I go with Bob.
I will work The Urban Garage today,
while Bob works Back Porch.
Our worker needed the day off.

Hot Hot Hot Blessings To All!
