The heat is on.....

This was Monday…. needless to say I have not ventured outside.... We actually had a quick storm the other evening... thunder lightning and rain. You know how I hate nighttime storms.
It was still hot yesterday, not as hot as Monday and I did go for breakfast at Biscuits with Glenda. I appreciate our friendship as she says what I need to hear sometimes....keeping me in check with my thoughts.  Once back home I thought I would do this...then I thought well how about doing … then in the end I did not one thing I thought about. I took the rest of the day off.
I did make the August Origami Star the other day...
When I think of August I think Sunflowers... so here are sunflowers and a deep gold print with greens. My metal display is filling up with only 4 more stars to make. I already know what I will fill the display with each month stating in January.
Were you curious about the "other watch list"..... It all started 15 years ago when we moved here to Arizona from Rhode Island. We had sold our property there and kept in a RI bank until we found a bank here. So, we sat with a banker and between a phone call to RI and filling out papers and signing papers we thought a transfer of funds was on the way. Wrong. The banker had put the request for the money twice. It appeared to the feds that it was us trying to gain more than we had. I still have the letter stating the attempted fraud and that our funds were frozen…. not only the money being transferred but what we had put in the bank already. Luckily I had not put all our money in the bank so we had some to live on. Finally, after a couple of weeks,  the fraud charge was dropped and that banker was not there anymore. I have to remind Alan to close out and take his money out of his accounts before leaving RI and not do the transfer thing! So that is the story.
See how entertaining my blog can be when my crafting is on hold or slow?! Glad you stopped by for the tale … thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.
Hopefully I caught all the typos, as my keyboard is still typing what  it wants!
