Christmas in July

So hot...yes I know it is always hot this time of year. Murphy and I took a quick walk so he could water the boulders and then promptly home.  I try to take him out before 10am and after 7pm. Temps have been 108 and even 110. Today is my lazy day as I woke with a mild headache and some body aches. Thank goodness for pills for this and that....now if they work.
This is how Murphy keeps his treasures, strewn about. Of course he does guard them when he sleeps...
He absolutely loves the butcher bones. Currently he has a collection of 6 as I tossed out 2 and he has another in the cupboard still wrapped. Shhh ---do not tell him or there will be lots of chatter.
So, Lisa and I thought...we are dangerous when we think together.... let's try this... a bed as he will not use any basket or bin for his stuff.
So soft, fluffy and cushiony. He got this close to getting in and to nap but that was it. He will take treasures out even occasionally drop one in but not to sleep in. We knew he would not sleep in it but it is working to coral things. Did I mention I have had to repair a few chewed spots..... Alan does not know, but the other day he got hold of one of his socks....yes Murphy did chew a hole in it. Lisa and I just toss them out! Murphy just turned 11 months old. Just a baby.....
Very happy to have June gone. It is a difficult time for me, still. July has come with a gift!
A Kitchen aide Professional series mixer!!!! Oh there is nothing wrong with my Sunbeam except age and since I am baking all the time Alan and Lisa thought to get me this for Christmas...what? I know it is July and we just celebrated the 4th, but a sale was to good to pass on and I am very happy to have this. Immediately made a chocolate cake. Next is my dad's wine biscuit recipe. See the yellow box... that is my recipe box that is 50 years old.....
Anyway, time to get hydrated with iced water. Staying inside is my plan. We are all home today and that is nice. My trips out are very limited, I am so fortunate to have Alan and Lisa to look after me spoil me. It was so nice to chat with you today. Thank you for your kind words and concern when I do not post! Thank you for your friendship.
