Hi, pals!

We put some new photos on of one of our walkies. Many ask us when they visit the tea shop, "What do you do to relax?" Well, we love to go for walks! After a day of baking (and sampling) scones, cookies, teacakes etc., we HAVE to walk in order to keep our "shape" (especially us short dogs).

We were about to roast ourselves in this heat...whew, baking ove a hot oven!! So this week we got air conditioning! Thankfully! Now we can bake up a storm.

Other relaxing ideas? We love to curl up beside Mommy while she reads. We can highly recommend the "Tea Shop Mysteries" by Laura Childs and also the "Hannah Swensen Mysteries" (a cookie shop in Minnesota!) by Joanne Fluke. We also love to watch t.v. with Mommy and our favorite is the British mystery series, "Rosemary & Thyme." O.k., it's about gardening BUT we like to use herbs in our baking.

Due to a wonderful suggestion by our cuz, Shiloh, we are now offering "Frosty Paws" in our tea shop! And Mommy came up with a great suggestion yesterday....she ate at a restaurant that had "Navajo Pizza." It is pizza on FRYBREAD! She said that it was so yummy that she didn't have any left-overs for us to sample. But we took her word for it and are now offering Navajo Cheese Pizza.

Well, we better get back to our baking....Saturday is a busy day at the tea shop. We welcome any suggestions on improvement....or a favorite recipe!!
