Hi everyone and wishing you all a Happy 4th of July tomorrow! I hope you have fun things planned but I hope they include air conditioning, water, popsicles, swimming pools, and anything else that keeps you cool.
The heat index was 109 degrees outside this afternoon and of all things, I found myself pondering if that idea of cracking an egg on the sidewalk, and it frying, was really true. If I hadn’t been so tired and it hadn’t been so hot, I would have liked to give it a try… maybe another time.
Okay, so today, this will just be a simple post of pictures a few of you sent me.
Linda G in MN sent this wonderful picture of her dolls to me. This is definitely one to enlarge…
Here are some pictures from Joy…
Here are some pics of my recent Ruby Red girls. Left is Arina and right is Sugar. Arina is wearing her new sandals since it’s pretty warm today. She came with white boots which didn’t seem to fit with the cute outfit. Anyway, she did take a tumble off the bench while I was adjusting Sugar, but recovered quickly. Maybe that is why she isn’t smiling. 🙂

These pictures show a card Elizabeth made…this was what she said…
Jeanne… I’m sending you the photos I have of a Birthday card I made for my Granddaughter, which I posted about today since several gals talked about making your own greeting cards! My Granddaughter just graduated with her Masters in Healthcare Administration and is working as a dietician!
The inspiration for this card came from using the artwork small prints of retro-women that my daughter had ordered for me from Temu! The sticker at the bottom of the insert with the limerick also came from Temu in a package of assorted sayings. When I make my own cards, I often make the envelopes, if I don’t have purchased sizes that fit, on hand.

Have a wonderful weekend,
Blessings, Jeanne
I think right now we in the Seattle area are having about the coolest temps anywhere in the U.S.! I think our HIGH today was only 65, and we had some light showers late this afternoon. It’s supposed to get to 75 for the 4th of July. We shall see. I don’t have any special plans for that day, but we do have a potluck at church after service on the 5th. And Daniel will be back down on Monday to do some yard work for me (he met me at IHOP for dinner with our friends tonight).
Linda G., I so enjoyed your doll pictures. In the first picture, are those representing different countries? It kind of looks like they might be. And Arina and Sugar are so cute! Sugar has such a cute, impish face! You just know she is planning some mischief, and her sister isn’t quite so thrilled about it!
Anne, your card is wonderful! I haven’t tried doing any with a fancy fold like that. Yet! I love how you framed each picture, and the limerick inside is very cute. Thanks for sharing!
Jeanne, I’m glad to hear you and George are safely home again after your emergency run last night. I hope your weekend is peaceful and restful, for both of you. You continue to be in my prayers.
I’m so glad that you and George are home again, Jeanne, and I hope taking it easy, not going g outside either! I saw and shared a funny thing on FB the other day, something a bout the National Weather Service was sending out instructions on how to make lasagna in your mailbox, which I bet could be done!😊. This heat is just unbearable!
Linda G., what a wonderful display of storybook dolls! You certainly do have quite a few, and all SL perfectly dressed! Each one is so detailed and you have them set up in the perfect spot!
Joy, your new dolls are the cutest things! I too, love that impish smile on Sugar, and her outfit is darling! Ari a has such pretty, long red hair, and a cute dress to match! Are those sandals from Cottontail? Love the daisies in your garden too!
Elizabeth, I see the “connection” in the card you made and your granddaughter being a dietician ! What a clever way to say Happy Birthday! I am amazed at the talent t of the sofa sisters, but really shouldn’t be.
Hoping everyone has a happy and safe Fourth of July!🇺🇸💥
