Another day of living on the surface of the sun....

Well, we are in for another day of this horrid heat.  It was 85º this morning at 7:30 am with highs forcasted to be 107º with heat indexes of 110º or greater.  I heard a tapping on the door this morning and looked out to find a flock of birds on the porch with a sign "Will sing for air conditioning" .    My poor dogs are house dogs and they are not dealing well with the heat at all. They have become champions in the art of the "speed potty" .  The hotter it is the quicker they get their business done and are back at the door to be let in.

Have you ever noticed how you can sit down and start reading a few of your favorite blogs and then you see one that they follow that looks interesting and so you click and go to take a peek and then of course you love it too so you look to see who they follow or recommend and you click to take an look and the cycle begins again....  I sat down yesterday morning and was taking a "quick look"  at some of my favorites and so it began...hours-yes I mean literally mean hours- later I was still reading blogs.  It was soooo much fun and I found some great new blogs to follow.  There are such neat ladies out there sharing their lives, families, crafts and opinions.  I appreciate each and every one of you.

Have a great day and try to stay cool on this hot summer day.  Think Popsicle thoughts and snowcone dreams.

How could they?!?!?!?!

I am in such shock and disgust that the jury found Casey Anthony not guilty on all counts regarding murdering her precious baby.  I try not to be judgmental but no mother fails to report her child missing for 31 days and during those 31 days parties, gets a tattoo, sleeps around and gives not a moments thought to her beautiful precious daughter.  Even if the jury saw no other evidence they knew that she did not report her missing for 31 days, that should have gave some red flags to someone.  I bet that she walks out of jail on Thursday after the sentencing, I think that they will give her "time served" for the lying to police charges.  She will be out partying on Thursday night. Another disgusting thing that will come out of this is that she will make a fortune giving television interviews, magazine interviews, writing a book and probably even a movie deal. She murders her baby and makes money from it, so very very wrong.

The jury...I wonder how their family and friends will feel about the verdict and how will the jury feel when they find out all the information that they were never allowed to know during the trial.  I wonder if they will feel guilty or remorseful about letting a baby killer off scott free?  I found it odd that none of them wanted to give a press interview but I sure bet that they will also be making some money by giving interviews with the press now that the trial is over.

Rest in peace sweet baby girl.  Sleep in the arms of Jesus where you will not experience any more pain or heartache.

Crocheting and sweet tea

I am so enjoying my vacation. I have not done a single productive thing at home in days. Today I spent the day crocheting and drinking sweet tea and watching television. It was pretty good...:)

I am not a very good crocheter but I sure do enjoy it. It is so much fun to take some yarn and a hook and make something that is either pretty or useful. Ok, mine aren't usually all that pretty, like I said I am not that great at it but they are useful. I have been making dishclothes lately. I love them for cleaning and wiping countertops.  These are a few of the ones I have made lately.

Do you crochet or knit?  What are your favorite things to make?
