Sky Meadow May 2017

It was time to drive to MD to see Patti for Logan's next treatment.  The cool weather allowed us to make a day of it.  We went to Sky Meadow for an early morning walk.  This time we took North Ridge Trail up and came down Piedmont so we could see the view.
On the Piedmont decent, Logan made at least 10 successful attempts of a run-by.  The thrill of running a few strides fixed an unforgettable smile on his face, and ours.

I did give plenty of breaks to take pictures, but since Braddock was not cooperative I made him take an extra one with me.
We did spend another hour walking the Snowden Trail through the woods, where there was shade and a little more breeze.  Logan spent so much energy doing his Zoomies down Piedmont that he initially protested the turn to Snowden Trail.  But, after a few treats, he kept up just fine. The gratitude for today was how much energy and playfulness Logan had.  He truly felt good today.

KOA Oceanside CampGround and Bar Harbor Maine 2016

Image
We took the 95 N route to Bar Harbor KOA from NH. Weather was much cooler in Maine. We arrived at the KOA Bar Harbor Oceanside, site 272 the best site in the campground.  Right on the water. I would say the campground in total has a typical KOA campground feel to it.  But, if you luck out to get a nice site on the water, the campground takes on a completely different feel.  The campground is not far from the town of Bar Harbor.  The cost of the campground is really for that water view and the proximity to Bar Harbor.  We headed into town and mom and dad got crabcake and lobster roll sandwiches from our favorite fresh seafood place Peekytoe Provisions. Russ and I got fresh Scottish salmon to put into a salad. On our next trip to Peekytoes we ate the amazing crab cakes and crab bisque for lunch. The bisque was amazing and we recommend paying the $2 extra for more crab meat in the bisque. We were here last fall and had a cafe we loved for popove...

Skyline Ranch Resort - May 11-13, 2018

Image
The Winchester area has always been one we've struggled to enjoy as a destination.  It's a great venue for agility, but the lodging has been lackluster.  Normally we stay at Candy Hill with the RV, but we don't enjoy it.  The campground is an easy-in, easy-out, right off the interstate. That is the only positive.  Forget about late check-out - they nickel and dime you for every minute.  Once we left 15 minutes late, but didn't worry about it until a young kid started chasing our RV on foot to retrieve the $2.00 owed for being late.   As far as the campground amenities and aesthetics, there isn't much to speak of. This trip, we decided to try somewhere different - Skyline Ranch Resort.  It was a significant improvement in primarily location.  The views of the skyline are breathtaking.  We stayed in site 132 (the row 130-132 is easy to get set up and rather level, but there isn't any shade).  There is another row on the other si...

Kitchen Remodel Dec 2018

Image
We finally decided to improve the kitchen.  We had golden oak hardwood cabinets and a green/blue laminate countertop.  The cabinets did not have any decorative moulding and they were all uniform - no dimensionality.  The island had a raised bar portion that was raised 10 inches high.  I don't have a picture of that, but below is the picture with the bar raise cut down to only4 inches. Step 1 was to have some dimensionality in the cabinet above the microwave and over the fridge.  In addition, we added a light rail moulding at the bottom of the cabinets and decorative crown moulding on the top. Cabinet over fridge has been pushed out Cabinet over microwave has been pushed out Some other things needing to change were the fluorescent light above the island, the chandelier above the table (the light shades were relocated to the den fan), the old white appliances,  and the stainless steel sink faucet. The cabinets were in great con...
