This morning I walked the dogs at 5:30 and it was already 75 degrees...
it looks like today promises to be an extremely hot one...as my grandson would say "maybe Grammer you need a pool...maybe"...for some reason "Maybe" is his favorite word...lol...thank you all for stoppin' by this morning...have a fun but safe holiday...try and stay cool...Please remember our Furbabies in this hot weather...if your hot...they're twice as hot...keep them indoors with plenty of cool water...and I hope you all have a stampin' good time.
 
God Bless America.
