Mom and dad took us out for picnic dindins 5 nights out of the 8 that we were there so we were never left home alone much. Our very favorite spot is called Something Natural! One of their sandwiches is HUGE and mom and dad can order one and both be full. We brought our own bag of chips and our own flavored water and we were happy as larks! Hurry up with that sandwich, dad!
The first night was strawberry ice cream! All of the ice creams on Nantucket are handmade and so good! There is no bad choice!
Nantucket Ice Cream shop is right next to the high speed ferry and while we were sitting there waiting for dad to come back the ferry tooted his horn and pulled out! You sorta get the smell of exhaust in your face but you forget about it as soon as you take that first lick of ice cream!
Our day would start off with a walk to surfside beach, we'd come home and rest and then head into town so dad could get the newspaper to read on the beach. It didn't take us long to settle in and slow down to the Nantucket pace! This kitty wasn't even afraid of us! We were told that he thinks he's a dog!
One of the side streets has a tiny park-like area with benches and lots of pretty flowers and some woman was feeding the ferrel cats that hang around! I was making sure that their food was up to snuff!
The greatest thing about the island is that it's never hot - there's always a breeze! Our car windows were down all the time so we could stick our heads out the window and bark out a hello to any dog that we missed strolling through town!
Vacation is soooooooooooooooo relaxing!
We had tons of peemail to check out!
Out of all the pretty things on the Island, this was mom's dream! She said it looks like a tennis shoe to her and she would just LOVE to own one if she lived on Nantucket! It definitely would have to be an around-town car on the mainland because it's really small! It's called a Smart car!
This shop is called Cold Noses and this guy was in the window wearing his doggles! He's life size!
We have many more adventures to share with all of you!
So until then...................
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Love ya lots, 
The beach umbrella is in A-ok shape, mom! It's ready for loading!
Before we go I have to tell you about the new koiMaggie! Can you see that she's a Red Hatter just like I am! The first koiMaggie got eaten by a nasty Kingfisher birdie so I'm hoping that this won't happen again! I hope her pretty red hat protects her forever! Thank you, 
Mitch and I rarely sleep together in the house! It's usually in the back seat of dad's truck and it's because stingy Mitch won't move over and share some room with me! I get tired too and I like nappies just as much as he does but he could care less so I plop on top of him!
And so are the Morning Glories!
Guess what else I came across?
We both got to lick the batter off the spoon before they went into the oven and unfortunately mom didn't take a picture of them when they came out of the oven! They were very, very yummy and there wasn't one left when mom and dad left the pawty Saturday night!
Sunday morning mom made blueberry buckle for Scot's pawty! Scot is leaving for college any day now! We both got a taste of this batter too!
Somebody has to do the job so we sort of appointed ourselves official taste testers! You can't see it but mom is holding 2 spoons in her hand. One is the batter and the other one is the batter topping! We both sampled each spoon to make sure it's fit for Scot's guests!
This is the blueberry buckle just out of the oven!
We're hoping that when mom cuts into it we can each have a taste! 
Our friends, 
So I have a new project to keep me busy while the family is away on Nantucket! Maybe when they come back I can show them the beautiful sweater that I intend to knit for myself!
Fly free little Barn Swallow babies! We're so happy we got to spend time with you - even if it was far too short! We'll miss you!
