Growing up in Massachusetts we never had air conditioning. Just opened windows and suffered.... I remember sleeping out on the screened porch many a night in the summers. Here in Mississippi we think A/C is a MUST, but my relatives who lived down here since forever didn't have it until about the 70's or 80's.

We got more rain today and the temps actually dropped to 77! Amazing, since way further north it's so much hotter.

Jeanie, I know what you mean about being sick of the 1930's fabrics. To get variety I bought a bunch of them. At Quilt Week in Paducah you had to buy a minimum of 1 yard to get the bargains, so I have full yards of many. I'm going to make some aprons out of those and try to sell them at the Christmas craft fairs I do. Gotta do something with them.

I started on the wedding gown today... Got two layers hemmed and have the two sheerest top layers to do. Tiny narrow rolled hems on sheers... what fun! Just shoot me now.
