Finally, Some Fun

We've sure had more than our share of rain on our vacation but Saturday early evening it stopped and we headed into town to do some shopping! Do you think we need a Nantucket picnic basket, Mitch?!
The restaurants were busy but the shops weren't! We think all the rain had a lot to do with it!

Saturday wasn't much of a thrill for us and we didn't stay in town too long! Dad was the only one who got ice cream and he did share a tiny bit of Rum Raisin with us! We went to bed hoping that tomorrow would be a dryer and much more fun day for us!
Sunday morning we headed to Surfside beach for our walkie and just as we got home, the sky opened up and it POURED! And it poured for the whole morning!

But early afternoon the sun came out and off to Nantucket center we headed!

We met a doggie that reminded us a lot of Clive but she wasn't very friendly and didn't want us to shop in her store! Heck, we don't like your merchandise anyway!

And we took a walk on the docks and tried to decide which yacht we wished we could own!
This is Chubs! Isn't she just adorable!

Her owner said that he also calls her Ready Freddie! She seems to respond to lots of names! She was a pretty easy-going girl!
We're off to a picnic at Something Natural and then dad says tonight we'll all have ice cream! yahooooooooo

So until next time............

Love ya lots,

Maggie and Mitch

    Hope the weather improves soon. We bet you will LOVE your ice cream.

    Chubs is very cute - is she sticking her tongue out at something?

    Hey, that dog does look a lot like me!! Don't think much of her behaviour towards you both though!

    Hope you got lots of ice-cream tonight and that the rain goes away and stays away!

    Take care

    Hope the rain goes away for the rest of your vacation and you get some sunny days. But it looks like you are having a lot of fun anyway. Ice cream is good anytime no matter the season or weather.

    I think that's it for the rain. It turned out to be a great afternoon over here. I think the Clive look alike can keep the merchandise.. ready freddy is much more fun.

    I wonder what ice cream flavor you picked out.. my guess.. something with marshmallow.

    Hey M&M,
    Well Danny Boy has left town and the rain should be following him. Youse guys must be having ice cream withdrawal. The Clive lookalike obviously wasn't as nice as Clive. Y'all didn't need anything in her store anyway since it didn't appear to have food and/or treats in the windows. We hope that you have a sunny and dry vacation from here on out.

    What lovely walkies, even in the rain. It looks nice n cool. I am feeling jalous, my walkies are soooo boring. Enjoy your picnic and the ice cream. That's what makes vacations wonderful, new walkie places, new sniffies, new friends and lots of nummy eats with naps sprinkle liberally through all of it.

    I'm also hoping it stopped raining so you can all enjoy your vacation. Well that dog in the store wasn't such a good idea, was it? Not good for business. I bet that was the last time he went to work.

    Sunshine, please come out for Maggie and Mitch and their parents, ok?

    You look like you are having a fabulous time - despite the rain. You guys are certainly photogenic! We love that pic of you on the bed...soooo comfortable. And of course we agree that that doggie looks like Clive! Pity he's not as friendly.

    I love shopping! Esp when I can go in stores. Mom is all gooey about that big white dog, but I probably wouldn't like her at all. Just as well that she wasn't friendly.

    Hi Maggie and Mitch, sorry to be so late in commenting.

    We have lots of rain here too, the summer seems to have suddenly gone away and been replaced by autumn.

    I am so envious of you getting some of your Dad's ice cream! As I have told you before I have never, ever eaten ice cream. I now dream about it all the time!

    Hi, Maggie and Mitch -

    It looks like you are having a good time in Nantucket. We think your Mom and Dad should consider opening up an ice cream store. You could be the taste testers.
