Dugger Family Update

I want to officially welcome Dixie to the Dugger family. Dixie is a two year old yellow Lab that we rescued for the Osceola County Humane Society. Dirk was not quite sure what to make of her. She still has a lot of puppy in her, but what can you do, she's a Lab. In Dirk's defense, I was not sure what to make of her for the first week or so. In retrospect, I had no idea how settled into our routine we were. Throw an attention starved, licker, jumper, touch of kennel cough, 50 pound lap dog into the mix and life gets turned upside down. I swear I NEVER though she would lay down. As I type this she is passed out sleeping at my feet surrounded by appropriated squeaker babies and balls. She is NOT a good sharer, so thank goodness Dirk is such a sweet boy and usually just moves on to something else each and every time she takes something from him.

On a sad note, Happy Michael Reilly has joined his brothers on Rainbow Ridge. He was great boy and will be missed.

On the road again..

Well, we are off again. This time we are heading to Indiana, I know, I know, WHY Indiana? Well are going to visit Dugger's mom's hometown Carlisle Indiana. We have never seen her mom's gravesite. Believe it or not there is actually a lot to do in Indiana. We have found an Amish Village, a winery, a lots of art"y" towns. In fact where we are headed today, Nashville, IN, is known as a famous art colony. We will see....
At the KOA in Nashille TN, I asked the front desk where we could find sushi, and they looked at me like I had sprouted a third eye on my forehead. One guy said that sushi is not dinner, that's bait. I paused for a moment and I swear I heard banjo music.....I wish I was making that up.
This is our first trip with having more then the three of us in the motorhome. An extra adult and and extra dog is not as bad as it could have been. It is just weird hanging out in back, mom gets a little car sick. So I have been riding in the back. I kind of like it. I have the time to things like this and surf the internet. Our new broadband card from Verizon works great so far. Only one or two times in the mountains did we lose a signal.
No pictures yet...we should take some tonight and tomorrow...
******Update***** Here are some pictures from the trip.
The first one is Mom and Dugger, at probably the most beautiful State Park I have been to yet.
Second one is of Max, Mom's dog, got hose not in the know.
Last one is of the three of us in front of the restaurant in Story Indiana. Great food, great restaurant, great company.
