What a week

Well, we had quite a week here in. A major heat wave with temperatures in the high 90's, a thunder storm on Tuesday night that knocked power out. For me only 3 hours, can't really complain but my son and his wife were with out power for about 30 hours, some other friends 48 hours and on the news they say some people won't have power until Sunday. I can't imagine that. I know I was at a loss at what to do. The fact that it was night and dark make it more difficult. We lost power again for 2.5 hours on Thursday afternoon and at least I could keep my self busy cross stitching.

Speaking of cross stitching, I had a cross stitching retreat this past weekend. A bunch of us - 10 in fact - got together at our friends Susan house who lives out in Brookville PA. We had a great weekend of catching up, stitching, eating, stitching, laughing, stitching...you get the drift. I always get inspired after one of my stitching weekend. We have some much fun. I got started on my wedding gift. Hopefully I'll make good progress stitching on it this weekend. Also am working on this cute coaster kit for my daughter. They have drinks on them - a cosmo, long island ice tea etc. Very cute.

Keep cool.
