We had a really nice Thanksgiving with lots of wonderful food and blessings. We got in a nice motorcycle ride last Saturday to Mineola, TX. The fall leaves were beautiful, and it was a gorgeous day. We ate lunch at Pappadales in Grand Saline, and the food and service were really good. We went to The Pecan House in Mineola and got some Texas grown pecans in the shell for my Mom, and some that were shelled for our chocolate pecan pie that is a Thanksgiving tradition at our house. We also got some honey roasted peanut butter that is made at The Pecan House and some pure natural honey made at Sharon Honey Farm in Chapel Hill, TX. All the products were wonderful, and the shelled Desirable pecans were great. We also walked across the road from The Pecan House to an unusual shop that carries antiques, tools, and interesting things of all sorts. It was fun to look, but we didn’t buy anything there. The motorcycle ride was great.
This weekend we took Victory and Vegas to the dog show in Alvarado, TX. Vegas got 2nd in the 12-18 month class on Saturday, beat by her sister, Diva. The judge thought they were pretty evenly matched and had us move the 2 girls around the ring several times, but she finally decided Diva had a little better topline than Vegas. Vegas behaved beautifully, and I was very proud of her. Victory was in the Best of Breed class, and he behaved badly on Saturday. There were two girls in season, one in front of him in the lineup and one behind him, and he was wound up. He got best of opposite sex. On Sunday, we put a little Vicks in his nose, so he couldn’t smell the girls, and he behaved much better. Lori Finlayson showed him on Sunday and he showed nicely and got best of opposite sex on Sunday. Vegas showed very well again on Sunday, but her sister, Diva, got the win and Vegas got reserve. She is such a plucky little girl, and we really enjoy her. Attached is her picture enjoying the fire truck at our local fire department. Victory at least picked up some grand champion points this weekend, so we are thankful for that.
Here is Wishbone, our Dalmatian Rescue boy, who is 12 years old, enjoying his time at the fire dept.
And, here is Victory, having fun at the fire department.
