Fellow quilters... I've been the WORST whiner about the heat... even joking about my whining melting... But I just noticed a post on FB reminding us that we're hot, but we're not having to wear full battle gear (70+) pounds and worry about someone shooting at us or driving over an explosive device...
I was humbled... A friend whose son is at war says the daily temperature is close to 130 degrees...
no more whining for me...

I feel really ashamed of complaining about 5 days of heat when you all down south have had 50 days over 100 and are totally drying up. Up here the Missouri River is flooding all over the place and the Red River is dry. Nothing makes sense any more.
