WHAT KEEPS YOU WARM, Open Media, Due: Feb. 28, 2021

[SpottedCrow]

Coldddddddddd and Windy today ! So it feels like it is in the 20's !
light dusting of snow.

There will for sure be a blanket and a kitty snuggle happening

[RaineyDay]

Yes, today is brutal. My husband is working outdoors up in the mountains! He's frozen stiff!

[Alessandra]

I wish some of that cold would come here. Today, in Rio de Janeiro was sooo hot, about 41C/105,8F. It's so unconfortable!

[RaineyDay]

Heat makes me feel sick. I would never make it in 105.8.F. I guess most people try to stay in the air conditioning, Alessandra? I had to stay in Arizona for a couple months. At first it was so beautiful and the weather was perfect, but when summer came it was terribly hot.

[Alessandra]

Yep! we use A/C most of the time, but my older daughter (11) can't stay in places with A/C for so long, so sometimes we need to use fan. Imagine the breeze from the fan blowing hot! Summers in Rio de Janeiro are so difficult... I used to live in Trinidad & Tobago, in the Caribbean. The temparature there is very nice throughout the year, nice and cool.

[RaineyDay]

When does it start to cool off for you, Alessandra? My daughter lives in Australia and it's been summer for her for a while, but they are still wearing sweaters. She said there was a strange La Nina this year keeping it cool. I would love a summer like that.

Valentina22 Your cards have arrived. I love all the glitter and sparkle. Very artful and very warm and cozy.

I noticed this swap made the front page.

It starts to cool off here around Mid-March... sometimes a bit earlier. Summers like these are nice when we can be out there safely, go to the beachj, enjoy the parks, ride a bike... Because of the virus, we are always inside. Looking forward to better days

I see I am the last and only player that needs to send cards. I still plan to make cards. I hope that is ok.

[mrubyjean]

I'd like to join too ~ hope there is still time!

[RaineyDay]

Welcome JenUrebel!

Um....did you mean me (mrubyjean) or are there two new players?

[RaineyDay]

oh dear. I'm so sorry. I don't know why I get those names confused. Thanks for pointing it out to me. I will go now and correct my sign up list.

[mrubyjean]

My cards are done (sorry the scan is a little fuzzy) ...and will be in the mail tomorrow.

[RaineyDay]

Oh, I love your card designs mrubyjean. The vintage girl with the cat is a favorite way to stay warm around here.

[mrubyjean]

Thanks, RaineyDay!

Cards mailed.

[CastleQueen5]

I am not sure I can get two more cards made, I am still recovering from surgery.

[RaineyDay]

Please don't push yourself or stress yourself during your recovery! I'll leave your name on the list and if I don't received cards from you I'll know why. No worries.
