He is so handsome!

 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.

What time is it!?

 Can not believe I woke at 10am..... but Murphy and I were awake at 6am. Guess we fell back into slumber land. The temps are still rising and according to the local TV channel we are hitting record marks this year. Nice and comfy inside. Last week a package arrived from sis Lynowl

yes, the temp was 113 and I get a fluffy and soft as a bunny tail robe! Oh is feels so nice on...not exactly time for it yet! It fits perfectly.

Tomorrow our boy Murphy goes for his grooming.... sure does get scruffy fast. He was not feeling well the last few days.... bad tummy. As Alan says, if he would stop eating all the junk he finds ( plants, rocks, cardboard and paper, and socks) he would be okay. I am always on poop patrol to be sure if he ate it it comes out! 

I finally find my this years Christmas ornament.. well one of them.

Angels... remember the quote; Every time a bell rings, an Angel gets his wings..... now they will be looking to fly for Christmas. Robyn, across the courtyard friend approves. Can you believe we are already midway into August? Goodness time seems to be really on a jet.

Weill my friends, I am so glad to chat with you but I need a cup of coffee. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship. Stay safe and well.
