Friends and a pod

Whether it is 100 or 108 here is very little difference...it is hot; plain and simple it is hot. Happily I have an automatic car starter. I get the car cooled before getting in to drive. Even parked in the garage out of the direct sun and heat, the interior is too hot for comfort. This quote is from a local source. Obviously when parked in the garage is better, but in a parking lot it can be extremely stifling. I always start the car before leaving the stores.
  “When temperatures outside range from 80 degrees to 100 degrees, the temperature inside a car parked in direct sunlight can quickly climb to between 130 to 172.” 
Back living in Rhode Island it was more for the iced car windows and cold of the winter. Yesterday I picked up Glenda and out for lunch we went.... however, the restaurant that we usually go to has made some changes so next outing will be elsewhere. Believe me there is no shortage of places to go. All your good thoughts for Glenda have certainly helped...she is doing well. As I was just entering the house my cell phone began to ring. It was Robyn from across the courtyard. Normally the verticals in the living room are open by 10... (it was now 1pm) usually earlier. Same for Robyn's front window. The phone call was "just calling to make ..sure you are okay". Simply I had forgotten to open the verticals! We watch out for one another. Robyn and Dave took good care of me when I had my hand surgery.
The green and silver Christmas Pod is finished. A day or two of hand rest is now in order, so I say now. Not sure what I will be beading or making next. I think a Christmas Bauble in red or green. I also need to get out the holiday fabric to make a couple of Origami Stars for gifts. So far I am using from what I currently have on hand. Always a good thing.... gee, sounds like Martha Stewart! Remember she used to say that on her older shows.
Chatting with you is always a pleasure. Glad you had time to visit. Thank you or your kind and caring words and for your friendship.

I adore your Christmas pod, Gracie, it's gorgeous. I sure hate when restaurants change after many years, as there's such a comfort in same old goodness and no surprises. However, finding a new spot could be an adventure too! I love AZ, it has totally captured my heart and hubby's and we seem to be talking more and more about picking up and heading to Prescott permanently, though no plans are on the table yet. CA has been hot too, and the rules here are the same, in fact we are raised to believe that a car must be white and have light interior to survive the summers, LOL. I'm glad that you keep yours in the garage and the remote sounds quite nice.
Your neighbors have been so good to you, as you are to them...friends who look after each other are as good as family.
Stay cool
Hugs

Pretty ornament. I am sure you would do the same for your neighbours as you are such a caring lady yourself.
