Arizona is still in a heat advisory and the local electric company wants everyone to conserve by turning up the AC, not to use washers/dryers and things like pool filters until after 9pm. Mind you, the temps have been record setting and remain around 115 daily and 90 overnight. APS also is saying they may have to do rotating outages which will last around 1/2 hour and there will be no prior notice. I speak from experience when I say going without AC even a short time is difficult in these temps. When Dennis was in hospital and suppose to return home, that weekend the AC quit. The triple digits during the day and the temp in this house was around 97 at nighttime and stifling. Complaining finished.
Murphy has a new groomer, Mary who did a perfect trim upon our specifications. Isn't he looking good! He is trimmed short and feels like velvet. I thought I would show you how Murphy "hides"... when he has something he should not have.
Look at that butt. He thinks we do not see him. Other hiding places are under the ottoman, along side the chair in my room or under my bed which he does disappear. Once under the sofa, he really has to pull himself out...just fits. He is our delight.
Baked a banana bread yesterday...almost gone. It is such a pleasure to have someone (The Brother Alan) who enjoys cakes and Pizzelles and scones etc. Lisa does also!
I hope everyone is healthy and safe. I know many do not wear masks...we do. I know that many do not care about social distance...we do. We are doing our best to remain healthy. Glad you could stop by to visit. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

Sounds to hot for me Gracie , take care and try and stay cool.
Enjoy your day.
Oh the heat!! I am surprised you would bake in this heat too?! Murphy is gorgeous! We wear our masks. People who do not make me irate!
No wonder people are getting sick in the States. What do they think this virus is a joke. Stupid people. Be safe. Love Murphy's new look. big hugs Lynda Ruth
Oh that heat! I can't imagine it! The power outages worry me - what if there is a disabled person living in the house? Imagine if the power went out and you were halfway up the stairs in a stairlift!
What about home-workers? With so many people working from home they could lose all their work on the computer or lose power in the middle of an important meeting. Or halfway through trimming a dog's coat!
You'd think they could schedule them at least.
Our power went out on Tuesday (or it may have been Wednesday) this week with no warning. The kids were in the middle of school and they freaked out about not being able to tell their teachers what happened. It was out about 20 minutes.
Murphy is one handsome guy! And I'll tell you this, Gracie, I NEEDED a laugh this morning and Murphy's butt sticking out while hiding was just the thing. So cute and funny!
