CHICK TRIP!!

Alina and I just returned from a few days in Medina, Ohio, visiting our friend, Susan Bigley. She and I became fast friends as neighbors when we lived those years in Ohio. Susan is married to Todd and is mother to Madeline, soon to be 12. She also volunteers for Golden Retriever Rescue and besides adopting hard to place senior dogs into her home and loving them she fosters and finds homes for others. They live on a beautiful lake. These are pictures of her beautiful yard and the ducks swimming in the mist in the early morning.



Good Morning! We need coffee!

That is Ridley in Susan's arms. He was found by Susan on the side of the road in Akron, at a busy intersection. He found a home with a wonderful new family and Susan took us to meet him. That's Gauge, Susan' yellow Lab and Tanner, one of Susan's rescued Goldens that she adopted.


Here Susan, Madeline, Alina and I are hiking River Styx Park with two of Susan's Goldens, Tanner and Tucker. Jack and I used to hike at this park with both Schooner and then Indigo when we lived in Medina.



These are pictures of everyone having cocktails - and laughing! That's Alina, Madeline, Todd and Susan.



We had Cosmopolitans at lunch with imported key limes! When we left the restaurant we heard the waitress and bartender talking about "those are the girls from Florida who bring their own limes"!!. From lunch we went to Sephora. Make-up lessons for Alina!! Fun! It was a great trip - even pass-riding was easy (except for 0430 wake-ups!). And Alina and I enjoyed 60 degree days and 40 degree nights! But, we both agreed it felt good to step into that hot jet-way upon our arrival home in Miami!
