This is Magellan. He's my sister-in-law's adorable little doggie, which she adopted in China. She went to the market one day to buy vegetables and brought him home instead. When she first saw him he was only a tiny puppy, but already the cage he was kept in was too small. She felt soooo bad for him, that she convinced his owner to sell him to her and brought him home. And good thing she did because he's just about the most adorable dog you could meet (except for you Flaco, of course). After seeing Flaco's moment in the spotlight, I was told that Magellan was "seething with jealously." (his exact words!) I felt terrible, so today's post is dedicated to him. :) Isn't that just the cutest face you've ever seen???? (sorry, Flaco!)
This is Kristen, Magellan's mommy. She's modelling the scarf I recently dyed for her, but forgot to take a picture of before mailing it out. It's now a soft teal, which looks great on her! I'm pleased with the way it turned out. Thanks for the picture, Kristen!
Kurt and I went up to Portland to visit Kristen, my sister-in-law, this past Saturday. We had a great time! We left Portland at around noon, stopped in Freeport, then headed on up to Booth Bay. Magellan was too cute to leave at home, so here he is in quite an action-shot out the window.
Maine's waters are full of lobster traps and, as a result, yummy fresh lobsters.
Random shot of a church, but it looked so pretty against the blue sky!
We had dinner at the Lobsterman's Co-Op (I had steamers and corn on the cob-MMM; Kurt had a lobster roll sandwich and Kristen had scallops). We sat with our legs hanging off the edge of the pier, while keeping our eye on those sneaky sea gulls, who are just waiting to steal your food.
The nature in Maine is spectacular. Sometimes we felt like we were the only ones out there.
Speaking of nature, my next few blog entries will be of just flowers. Flowers, whose beauty I tried to capture with my little camera. Stay tuned.
