The Art of Keeping Cool

Wow it is hot! It was 103 today and we have not had rain in a long time. The crunching sound that my grass makes is not good.

Remember when I told you about this estate sale? This is the "scrapbook" that I found at the bottom of a pile of junk. It is actually a sample book for a clothing company. Most of it is covered up with magazine clippings. They appear to be from the WWII era.
