hot and more hot

It is hot all over the continent. Ray and I are quite comfortable in the apartment.  Neither are good in the heat so we have our place set up for comfort.
Others in Vancouver are not so fortunate as most homes here don't have air conditioning.  So they suffer. I am worried about people in the southern part of the states with such high use of AC and I hope the grid does not go down or they will suffer beyond suffering. That speaks to my family down in Louisiana. Let me know how you are.
I did a lot today , well a lot for me anyway. We went out for a while but not in the heat except to walk across a parking lot. LOL.

When we came home I spent a bit of time sewing. YES! Sewing. I went to work on the blocks that I had from the guild. While I pinned and sewed and pressed I also boiled some eggs and then later chomped them up to be ready for sandwiches. It was good!! 
That's a bit of standing on kitchen ceramic tiles and it makes me quite tired. So I had to lay down and I fell asleep. Ray woke me up at six o'clock. Oops pretty late. He made sandwiches for both of us along with a side of radishes. 

I had to rub his back again after supper with Myoflex which seems to help him with the pain in his back. 

I quite forgot the time until 7:00 when I choked back a big gulp and realized it was past time to start on my blog.

Block of the day. Album Star.

Download now as a pdf pattern
Album Star...notice the way the triangles have been made with half square triangles . Hmm not that unusual is it ? I was talking about the inner block  , not even noticing the outer part of the block. I am singularly focused on the centre of things. 
It seems to me there are several album blocks of varying types.

And yes they did trade Cory Schneider to New Jersey. Another huge mistake by Mike Gillis. What they got in return is a ninth draft pick. That poor guy will take a beating from the fans . We all loved Cory!  Gillis really ought to go.



Trying to stay cool and more to come.
Dog on ice, oh what a wonderful day!
Moose in tub keeping feet cool if nothing else, but he is in the shade. Or is he making shade LOL.

This would be a fun quilt to make and decorate all these little dresses with lace and such. Since it is symmetrical you can make the pattern yourself by folding  a piece of paper in half . But I digress I said that the other day 
didn't I.  The sashing colours are excellent. Great quilt for a little girl or a big girl for that matter. 

Three does not seem to be a crowd in this case. All from the same litter obviously. Sweet little things.
Charlotte on her very first road trip. Going to Calgary or whereabouts to be a flower girl at a wedding  .

Ricky when he was a little guy . I don't think he cooks much now LOL.
That's my show for tonight folks. I hope you enjoy your evening and that you can keep cool some way.
Good night.
Under the sun.
