I'm finally reconnecting with my friends, Lynn and Judy, shown here with their newest addition to the family, Jacques. This is their new home in the background, purchased last December. They used to live in Portland, and now they are in a place called Cumberland Center, between Yarmouth and Falmouth. I so love this couple and love being in their home. They are both born and raised in the Memphis area, but vacationed in Maine one year, came back about 4 years in a row and one year, about 15 years ago, decided to move up here. They love it, winters and all.
We decided to have our drinks in the back yard, but you can see Judy all wrapped up in her blanket, it was rather on the chilly side. Didn't stop us. We stayed out there having our gin martinis (Lynn and I) while Judy had her margaritas. Our appetizers were kalamata olives, big green olives, two types of cheese, one a bleu and the other manchego, which I love, and two types of crackers. Really wonderful food!!!
Here's Lynn and Jacques working on commands. Jacques is about a year old, but he's really smart. He's part dachsund and part rat terrier. He was in a "kill" shelter in Arkansas and one of the Maine rescue facilities found out they were going to euthanize some of the dogs, Jacques being one of them, so they had them moved up to Maine where Lynn and Judy found him. They had a beautiful dog, Queenie, who died about three years ago, and so they just a few months ago decided to get another dog. Queenie had a lot to do with them picking out their newest family member, he even acts a little bit like her.
I'll be here at their house until Monday, then back to Saco, Maine. Sending love to all of you!!!
