YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN FLORIDA IN JULY WHEN. . . . The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground. The trees are whistling for the dogs. The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance. Hot water now comes out of both taps.

I have gone through my DMC floss stash, and I have lots and lots of duplicates which are now in a shopping bag on the floor next to me. Do I remember someone who was colllecting extra stash for replacements of lost stash etc? If so, could someone please let me know the address, or at least the...
