BACK TO SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKE

 

BACK TO SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKE

Yay!!!! After dropping Sandy off so she could fly home, we drove a long way, back to Smith Mountain Lake! Ah! Feels like home. Da daddy painted some more, and da mommy worked on the little box that she taps with her fingers. This is such a relaxing place. We all love it here.

 We moved on to another fun place, Heather’s house. Heather is Daddy’s daughter. She lives in another part of Virginia. Heather and her family have four great kids and a little dog that barks … like a little dog. I didn’t play with that dog much because she was very small and maybe a little afraid of me. She mostly stayed on the couch hiding behind big pillows.

 


But I did get to play with the two little boys. They had fun throwing the tennis ball for me. And they have a huge yard – really, it’s a small farm. So I could run around. They have goats that, of course, I had to try to chase (on the other side of the fence). They also have a bunch of chickens that I DID chase because they came to my side of the fence. I just wanted to play. They made funny noises when I chased them.

 One day we went to the “botanical gardens” with our friend Johnny K. I had to stay in the truck while the others walked around the gardens, but then we went to a spot on a lake where I could run around, and I got in the water to cool off. This was a fun day. Oh, and da mommy and I had to ride in the camper to get into the park since they don’t allow dogs. (Shhhh!) It probably sounds like we break a lot of rules, but the truth is, some silly people just don’t understand that I’m part of the family. What is with this “no dogs allowed” anyway? I’m not going to hurt anything!

CONGAREE NATIONAL PARK, SOUTH CAROLINA

  CONGAREE NATIONAL PARK, SOUTH CAROLINA When we were at Acadia National Park, da mommy and da daddy came up with an idea to visit all the national parks that they haven’t been to. I guess our adventure is taking yet another turn. It’s a good thing Daddy writes his plans in pencil.   On our way south, back to hot Florida, we stopped at a national park in the middle of South Carolina, Congaree National Park. It’s a beautiful place with very very tall trees. We got to walk on a boardwalk and see the big trees and some pretty birds, which I tried hard not to chase. The people working there were very nice.

AT LAUGHING HEART HOSTEL, HOT SPRINGS, NORTH CAROLINA

AT LAUGHING HEART HOSTEL, HOT SPRINGS, NORTH CAROLINA (2019) AT LAUGHING HEART HOSTEL, HOT SPRINGS, NORTH CAROLINA March through July 2019 My time at the hostel in Hot Springs was HEAVENLY! I loved the cozy cabin that we lived in.  I loved the freedom I had because the hostel and cabin are on huge grassy property, and I could stay outside almost all the time. It was very safe there. I loved that da daddy and da mommy were always home. I loved going for hikes with da mommy.  I loved being around lots of nice people who were hiking on the Appalachian Trail. I loved sneaking into the hostel and sniffing around and sometimes finding dog treats or toys that some hiking dog left behind. I guess da daddy and da mommy didn’t love me sneaking in there, because a few times they were pretty freaked out because they couldn’t find me. But I was safe and sound in a corner in a cozy room, playing with a new toy or chewing on a tasty treat.   The thing I loved most about my life at...

  FLORIDA                     Campground at Sebastian Inlet W e made our way back to hot Florida and my brown couch at Aunt Debby’s house. Ah! Another place that feels like home. I love being here. I get to see Debby and her family, and also Mamaw and Papaw, who live nearby. I have a funny story about Mamaw. Another wonderful aunt of mine, Sandy, and her husband Nathan gave me a sweet toy for Christmas last year. It was some kind of animal, and it squeaked. I loved that toy!! Well da mommy and da daddy like to play a game where they ask me “Where’s Mommy?” and I look at Mommy. Then “Where’s Daddy?” and I look at Daddy. Then when we’re with Mamaw and Papaw, they do that with them. So I had left my new toy across the room, and da daddy asked me “Where’s Grandma?” and instead of looking at Mamaw, I went to get my toy. After that, the toy was called “Grandma.” Everybody thought that was pretty funny. I didn’t really see wh...
