Another hot and humid day here in Jersey. Has to be too hot here as DH, who hates AC, even left it on overnight. I was planning to run some errands and do some food shopping before it gets too hot out, ouch when getting into the car even though I leave the sunblocker over the windshield. Think I'll whip up something from the fridge/freezer, maybe potatoes, peppers, onions and eggs, tomatoes on the side and some Italian bread. Sounds good to me that way I can sew instead of going shopping. May in Jersey

When dry, it lays flat and folds easily into your drawer or purse. But when soaked in cold water for about 20 min. they absorb the water and can be worn around your neck like a kerchief. I have several to go with many wardrobe changes as I work and they look nice as well as keep me cooler. I've even found them to be a benefit with my hot flashes. If you are interest I'll be glad to check on the name of the product they use inside, and send you the pattern. Easy to make, comfortable to wear and really helps keep you comfortable on those hotter then hot days. Can also be worn as a head band while working outdoors in the hot sun and keeps the perspiration from dripping down your face.
Today it is suppose to top near 100 with high humidity. Air quality is reaching code red, as it did yesterday. Heat index 105 to 110 this afternoon.
Piedmont of North Carolina (Charlotte area)
Blessings to all,

In coastal south Texas, it will be between 95 and 100 again today. We are very fortunate though, since we live close to the coast. Each afternoon the sea breeze comes in and makes the heat bearable. I grew up in San Antonio and there was NO sea breeze, just heat and humidity.
