Weekend news and shared postcards

Still quite warm in Central California but the evenings are cooling off nicely.  The smoke has let up from the Rim Fire.  It has been a smokey summer as we have had smoke from 3 fires.  I am not complaining about the warm weather as it makes it nice for sitting outside in the early morning and evening.  Today I look forward to going to a Birthday Party for a friend who turns 80.  We both have spent hours crafting together.  She does more then I do, since she still does the craft shows in the Fall and Winter.  A few postcards below from my stash!!
