June 22, 2015 By Meegan 12 Comments

Oh man! Has it ever been hot here.  I got in the car the other day and it was a whooping 122*. Yes, you read that right. It was the hottest I had ever seen it. But, I have been keeping cool in the pool and getting ready for the 4th of July, by creating my DIY Patriotic Wooden “Books”.

 Well, Happy Saturday everyone.  I hope you are all having a wonderful July 4th weekend.  Actually the 4th of July is my birthday.  I know-I am among very few people who share this birthday of our country.  It is an honor for me.  Thanks to ALL of my dear family and friends-I had a wonderful day.
