He got mail!

 We are still very hot...still 110+. I am looking forward to the cooler weather. Even the 90s sounds good. Yesterday I went for a haircut. I had not been since March then the virus arrived and once the salon opened again I was not ready. My hair was almost to my shoulder top! In this heat I was going crazy. The gal who did my hair is only working on Sundays due to her children being schooled at home still. A new cutter and I completely left it to her. I am so pleased with her skill. It is short again and with this heat will feel great. Of course if we are at the mall, then Lisa makes wants and I shop. We got great deals! I bought a weather proof 3/4 jacket. The tag said $99.00 and it was worth it especially when the register rang it up for $24.90! I did not know it was on sale. Most all we bought was on sale and we came home very happy.

Murphy got mail! He just loves mail and will drive us crazy until we give him junk mail or even envelopes. 

My sister just had to send him a note! She has not met Murphy yet and still she loves him. One of these days when issues are more settled she will visit. 

Two buddies having coffee outside this morning...it was a bit more comfortable sitting in the lanai. The Brother Alan has since left for work and Lisa will be going also. 

Soon there will be swishing and fluffing in the laundry area...as soon as I get a move on.

Happy to have you visit with me. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

Hello out there!

 Hello out there, I did not get lost. Maybe a bit or more sidetracked. You may ask with what. I ask too! I am not making excuses, but my arthritis in my hip and hands have been an issue. I started taking CBD gummy bears and when I take them daily they do help. The doctor also gave me a muscle relaxer that really helps at night so that the discomfort does keep me awake. Have you noticed the changes with Facebook and Blogger? They did not ask me and I am not sure I like the changes. 

The weather here in Arizona has been hot. I know it usually is. This year July, August and now September have been the hottest on record. We have had over 50 days over 110. The Monsoon is not delivering much in the way of rain around here.... just East and South of us. The winds have been  crazy. The other night it was very windy and The Brother did secure the garden...except a wild wind came out and over went a few pots filled with soil crashing to the floor of the lanai. Not knowing what the crash was, Alan rushed out with me behind him followed up with Murphy barking at Alan ... confusion. While Alan cleaned the mess, Murphy was jumping about and finally once he was given a broom he quieted except then he wanted the one Alan was using. Then there was some thunder and Murphy kept looking up at the ceiling  listening for the next one. A bit of rain and it was over. We run a circus around here sometimes. 

A nap with one of his favorite bones always makes things okay.

Lisa and I are still making pillowcases, this time for travel pillows.

This is the one I just finished and plans for a few more covers. It will be easier now that our quilt shop has reopened. 

Here is Lisa's.

Did I mention she loves lavender? Anyway she did a great job sewing this. She also made a  runner for Alan's bureau

Using the idea from the Shabby Chic Roses but made this more masculine. Really came out nice. We have ideas for a couple more. The one I made will be going someplace soon with another pillow covering for the Christmas holiday so it can be changed.  

I began to decorate for Autumn, but cannot find my decorations stored wherever I put them. I remember Lisa and I putting them...... still cannot find them.

Well my friends, a few of you worried about me with an email me to check if I am okay...Thank you Carolyn. Yes we are managing to stay healthy even with Alan and Lisa working and in contact with many people each day. Thank you for stopping by. Thank you for your kind words and emails and your friendship.
