new sights


In Asheville, one of the nice things about the view off our front porch was watching lots of road bikers ride by.  This past Saturday in Henderson Harbor, we witnessed the beginning and end of a sailboat race while sitting on our back porch.  Have to say the beginning was much more exciting with all the sails up on the boats and them leaving the harbor swiftly.  Much later in the day the boats began to trickle back and I got the above shot.

Next door to our house is a motel and Maddy makes friends with all the guests.  Luckily, their back deck has railing so Maddy just gets petted and loved through the railing.  Because of this we end up chatting and meeting the people who stay there.  Maddy is heaven.  So far, she hasn't jumped in.  Somehow she realizes that she can't get out because our backyard and dock is 3-4 feet above the water.  We need to figure out a way to make a doggie ramp or steps so she can jump in and swim around.


Mat, Brie and I walked around the town just north of us by 10 minutes.  Sackets Harbor is lovely old town with lots of old homes and yards and a cute downtown area with a battlefield from the War of 1812 that you can walk around.

This is after Brie's first ride around the neighborhood.  We think she liked it since she didn't cry.
