MY  BUDDY  WILSON

Hi Everyone,

This is my friend Wilson. He was here for three weeks and we had a great time. Wilson's Mom sent us the pictures she took so I am sharing them with you. Besides taking me to the park, Mom and Dad have been doing a lot of golfing this summer. I still don't know why I can't go along, after all I love riding in a golf cart, not to mention my love of balls!

My visits to the veterans home is so much fun. I have a favorite wing where everyone is excited to see me. I even get to visit the different rooms. Some of the beds are low and they can reach me easily while other beds are high and I put my paws on the edge and stand up so I can be reached. A couple of my new friends even have treats for me. Mom says, years ago they had metal collapsible drinking glasses. Well, Mom has a plastic collapsible bowl for me so I can get a drink of water while we are visiting. (She says the water fountains are off limits. Go figure.)

Last Sunday Dad's sister, Suzanne flew into Portland and is staying in Kennebunkport. Mom loves it since it gives her a reason to go shopping and have lunch in one of her favorite towns in Maine. Tomorrow Suzanne and dads cousin, Marie and her husband and another couple are planning a trip to have  lunch at Five Islands Lobster Co. in Georgetown, ME. Georgetown is north of Portland and south of Bath. Dad says it's crazy to drive that far for lobster when we have the same lobster here in Scarborough, But you know Mom, she's always up for a road trip and new adventures!

I am sure Mom will take a lot of pictures and report on the lunch and area. My next blog will have family pictures and a report on the restaurant since it was written up on the travel network. Here are the pictures of Wilson and I. I'll check in next week, I hope. As always, Sam and family
