Chestertown, Maryland - Humane Society of Kent County
The previous post shows my mom as a very young child in the arms of her father.
While she and I are not sure of the exactly location, we think it is "Old Harbor," a beach near Roxbury, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. The photo was taken in the mid 1930's and possibly by my Uncle Johnny, who was considerably older than my mother.
On my way to the houseboat this past weekend, I stopped in at the Humane Society of Kent County which had these signs out front...
I left knowing that three animals would be adopted at no cost to their new families - in memory of Ruby.

Tale of Two Cones...
Every hear the expression, my friend / parent / significant other went to someplace special and all I got was a t-shirt? Ever think that was an ungrateful and ungracious thing to say?
Recently, a wonderful friend of mine went to Disneyland Land (the one in California), and visited the most marvelous spot on Earth... can you imagine an entire motel for cones??? I wanted to pack my bag(s) and head there the very instant I learned of the place - and in fact, may well retire there... I'll be the old guy driving the lawn tractor around (sneaking photos of any wayward conies!) Little did I know that a few days later, in the snail mail, I would get a package with a plastic bag from Disneyland and find within it... a plastice drinking OCHA from Cars Land!! I used it today to drink some iced tea - and felt like a King!
Just about the same time, and I apologize for being so late with this "Thank You" post, Farside of Fifty sent me a wonderful hand carved cone. Every time I look at it, it says something to me... it's other-worldly and old-worldly at the same time. Or perhaps I just watched E.T. the Extraterrestrial one time too many? It is so unique and different I put it on the fireplace mantel at work were it faces my desk and I see it each day.
Overwhelmed by all this cone goodness - I fended off the latest cold nights with a SpongeBob SquarePants Snuggle Blanket! I don't look as good as the model wearing it - but the blanket does!
