Lily and I like to tramp around the fields, hoping to scare up a deer or turkey. Today, we wandered up to the northeast pasture which Dad is renting. The house and barn sit in a sea of sunflowers this time of year, giving the place an even wilder, tangled look. We saw lots of […]
Lily likes to put Minnie through evening doggie gymnastics. Minnie loves it. After a successful stump jump and hug, Minnie jumps back down from the stump and tears around the yard like a unmanned drone. Granny is usually digging weeds, looks up and seeing the black bullet flying her way yells, “Minnieeeeee. you better not […]
The apple tree limbs are sagging with green apples. We have been watching and waiting and testing a few low hanging treats. Today, Randall decided it was time to start picking. We got a couple of baskets of apples in search of the ones with a blush of pink on their sunny-side cheeks. The wasps […]
Lily is a Sweetwater Bulldog, now, so let’s just say it is important to know how to dribble. They don’t have soccer round here much less swimming. No tennis nor softball. Your social status depends a lot on your ball handling ability. So we have been practicing a little. Randall and Lily have done some […]
We have been home a month today and I have only a handful of pics to show for it. We have been busy though. Randall went with Jake and Danny to Taos to drop Jake off for his Western Walkabout. Lily and I stayed home and played at the pond with the rowdy crew who […]
We aren’t doing much this week. We have a pretty good list of stuff that has to be done before we leave but most of the items really should be done a day or two before we leave. So this week, we are catching up on Lily’s school, reading and talking about what to do […]
We said goodbye to Tuk and Henry Thursday night. They leave on Saturday, Tuk back to Thailand and Henry to Australia. We met up at Sundogs for a goodbye dinner with them and Shirley and Neal. After dinner, we dinghied Tuk and Henry back to ParPar and Lily gave Tuk one of those clinging, I-hate-to-say-Goodbye […]
We have been feeling quite healthy. We are even getting past the recurring desparate-dash-to-the-bathroom episodes. So when Jake meet the sound healers in Flores, we were interested in how the sound healing works, what it was good for but we didn’t feel any compelling reason to attend a session. The Sound Healers were living in […]
We got to spend two days hanging out with Pam. On Wednesday, we helped with her mobile animal clinic. She picked us up from the marina and we went to a small town south of here called Buenos Aires. We had free worming medicine which Pam administers to cats and dogs brought to her table. […]
OK this is my last “catching up” post from last week’s travels. What we really needed after all that busy traveling back and forth was something relaxing. We decided to wrap up the Great Inland Travel excursion with a day trip from Rio Dulce to Agua Caliente. Agua Caliente is a hot springs waterfall an […]
