It woud be nice , but our two hairless are not very friendly. Snipes is scared all the time, and Lucy is very wary. They are both rescue dogs. We will never know about them, either.

Now Maggie… she likes everybody.

Bob: I think your dog(s?) would be a big hit there — a friend of mine at the dog park, a retired L.A. special ed teacher, takes her Mexican hairless, Paris, to a San Pedro retirement home from time to time and it’s quite the occasion, she tells me.

And the one before it:

Country Inn is very welcoming of visits by people with dogs, by the way, and I’ve also brought my friend’s former cat, Baby, in for visits.

Manuel is the activities director, I’m guessing their summer walk should be coming up soon ….

Bob: yes, I’ve been to Knott’s often, I think my parents told me I once “challenged” the robbers on the train when I was wearing my holster w/guns.

The dog walks are held 3 times a year — summer, fall & spring. So there should be one soon. I’ll post a link to my blog item…..

Would love to meet you and your wife & pup!

I have been to Knotts Berry farm, or so I was told. When I was very young, about fifty years ago.

The Counry Inn on Myrtle St. is about 2 miles from our house and the same distance from our church, First Baptist Church of Downey as from the First Christian Church of Downey

Almost everybody in SoCal has seen our church but few know it. Have you been to Knotts Berry farm? Have you seen the little White church by the little lake? We built it, sold it to the Episcopalians and then Walter Knott bought it for his farm/amusement park.

I will see if the Country Inn is going to have a dog walk in the next couple of weeks, if so maybe we could attend.

I have the beginnings of cataracts also.

A wonderful weekend with my daughter and her two children. We went to a local parade and craft festival, which we have done for years and years. The kids are old enough and young enough to really enjoy the parade.

My husband and I were also able to take in a local bluegrass festival that has been going for twenty years now. It is always fun to get there, (even though we cannot spend too many hours there) because we get to see old acquaintances.

The many young people who are playing bluegrass with a vengence. Whole families have so much fun at these events. They are so wholesome and fun.

“They don’t make ‘em like Leon no more … “

Frank, my husband’s name is Leon (nickname is Lee), & you’re right – they don’t make ‘em like Leon no more!
