Taking The Westies For A Walk + Dinner

 What started out with a quick walk around the St. Michaels
harbour turned into a quick decision to have
dinner at Foxy's.  Basically, we didn't want to go home
and cook.  We have a tendency to have dinner out
during the summer months.
 Foxy's ... not the best food ... but great location!

Leaving on their sunset tour of the Miles River.
Max is 10 people.
 The Patriot getting ready to dock after a harbour tour.
 Wilson and his girl Julep.
She's thanking him for taking her to Foxy's.
 When at Foxy's ... it's Martini Time!
 We basically had Foxy's to ourselves.
It was a beautiful night to be outside and
we totally enjoyed every second.
Now that the storms have passed it looks like tonight
 will be a great night also ... so
I hate to say it ... but we're heading out to
dinner [again] to meet Laura & Cary.
 After our trip to Foxy's it was time to give
the westies a much needed bath.

Now that the westies are nice and clean
and smell good it's time to get back
to my sewing machine.

I have a stack of the cutes American Girl dresses 
that are in need of being finished.  I plan to start sewing on
little buttons & bows, and I've started to glue on crystals!

Look for my American Girl blog fashion show
with all my new creations soon!

I'm also looking into selling one or two on the
Esty Website but not sure if all the fees they charge
is worth it.  Should anyone have experience 
with this site, please let me know.

Thanks for visiting & enjoy your weekend,

Dogs in the City

 Actually Grand Mom said something like ...
I'd better put this show on for Julep & Derby to watch.
 They were NOT impressed with this guy and
lost interest after the first commercial break.
 One thing came out ... they want us
to take them to New York so they can sniff
with the dogs on the upper East Side.



Will there be a trip to New York City with the westies?
I'm not sure ... only time will tell.

Happy Birthday ... Derby!

Sir Derby Wyatt
officially turns
3 years old today!
...
I nearly forgot today was Derby's birthday.
? Will he ever forgive me ?
I surely hope!

It's hard to believe 3 years ago our
little westie boy was with his Mommy Ming,
two brothers, and one sister.
We'll have to check-in with Derby's
brother Baron and find out
exactly how he's celebrating his b'day.

It's Memorial Day!

Our first turtle [of the season] fell into the pool this morning.
Julep & Derby did the turtle in the pool alarm bark
to let me know what just happened.

With Memorial Day here I thought it was
time to buy some flowers for the garden
so I stopped in the Village Shoppe to
take a look at the selection.

Decisions ... Decisions ... Decisions






I had  trouble making up my mind
what to buy for the garden
because I wanted everything!


I came home with no flowers because
I simply couldn't make up my mind.

From the Village Shoppe grocery
I came home with a pound of shrimp,
two steaks for the grill, and three
bottles of red wine so the trip wasn't a total loss.
 Wishing You A Safe &
Happy Memorial Day

Out To Dinner ... Again!

 Derby taking a little snooze in Julep's puppy bed.
It's a wee bit small even for him.


 Just who is this man lurking behind the tree
taking pictures?  It's my husband, of course!
One of the fun things about living in a 'tourist town'
is you never know what or who you'll see.


 Dream on ... my darling husband ... dream on!

 Dining at the Town Dock two nights in a row.
Laura & Cary boated over on the Red Rocket.
 Cary's martini ... he's not flying this weekend.
 My martini ... and a good one at that!

You could say there are more boats docked then last night.
Today there will be even more boats coming in to
spend Memorial Day in St. Michaels.
...
The town will be packed with tourists and several weddings
are going on also.  One big wedding is being held at the
estate of Donald Rumsfelds.  His grand daughter is getting married
there today and I bet security will be heavy around town.
 We all enjoyed our house salad.
 Wilson's dinner ... the ribs were very good.
 Cary had ... oysters on the half shell.
 My crab cake ... broiled ... extra crispy.
Making Way Too Much Noise 
This 'muscle' boat pulled into the empty slip
right in front of our table. The engine on this type of boat
are loud & annoying. Everyone outside at the Town Dock
 clapped and cheered when this dude shut down the engines. 

 On our walk back to the car I wanted to see
how my camera took night photo's on the
 simple auto focus feature.

 Someone paddled their way to dinner.

 St. Michaels is filled with historical old homes.


 Yarrow At Night
 Okay ... Okay ... Okay
I promise ... we're staying home tonight.
