HOT! HOT! HOT!

The quilting retreat weekend was hot! No air conditioning and no windows (may have been a blessing). We did have fans. Sixteen plus women and sewing machines, electric lights, fans, irons all adding to the 100 plus degree heat. (On Friday it was 110in the room.) That Friday night or should I say Saturday AM, I was awakened by a loud honking noise from outside. Thinking someone was breaking into my car, I found there was a car fire just a few feet away from the corner. Being a good citizen, I called 911 and then was asked if it was at, here I realized I didn't know where I was, thank God the one who answer the phone did. Anyway that fire was to be the first of many that weekend. On Saturday I took a break and went shopping with the owner or the fabric shop, Nicole. I bought some sundresses and a bra. Mind was wet. We went back to quilting and then out to dinner. Ah, air conditioning. We made it home that night about 10PM. Slept very well. Went back to the sweat house to finish the quilt top. We were then told that part of Nicole's home caught fire the night before, no one hurt, but scared that her son was inside the building was awful. Also, the reports of fires in the area began to trickle in. On Mon. AM, I got up to smoke filled air and ask falling. My girlfriend Lynn, took me to her hairdresser in Santa Rosa and there I had my hair cut short. It was a hot weekend.
