Photoessay #1088 - Harstene


It's late, almost midnight but we just got home. Today we attended two events associated with Dennis' family. First we went to the gathering at the family gathering. Don't know if it was the light or the food but it seemed so much more fun today. Usually, the place doesn't speak to me, but today, it was all so pretty and calming. We brought dumplings from the Noodle House which worked so-so. Lots of good food prepared by Eliza and Jim and everybody else.

Then on to Phil and Suzanne's (we didn't get there until 9pm and only two guests. Their home overlooks the Kent Valley and Emerald Downs, the race track that has a big fireworks show on July 3. By the time, the show started around 10:20, their yard was full of folks. Remember the lattitude here, this time of year it doesn't get dark until 10pm.

We took Teddy and he was NO PROBLEM, just like he says. When we drove into Harstene, we immediately saw three other dogs. "We though you needed another dog" we said. He ran around outside with everybody else without a leash and had a gay old time.
