OH wow Aunties we went to this thing called 'Summerfest' today and did they get the name right-- it was like summer.. Mommy said it was gonna be some cooler and less humidity so we could go... and ugh those weather guys got it Wrong Again.. It's was Hot, in the 80s...

But the beginning was fun! Cuz this part is ole Virgini history and you know I Love history! So if you don't you might wanna skip this part!

So Look Aunties! This is called 'The Old Mill' and it was built in the late 1600s and there was a grist mill, a saw mill and a textile manufacturing mill, this is the only building left. The mill was run by Water! And they even made uniforms for the soldiers! It was built around the place where George Washington met Lord Fairfax on Washinton's First Journey to the Frontier! Neat huh?!!

And they had this pretty rock and flower area, Very sniffy!

And the Ducks!! Oh please bear with mommy Aunties, she Insisted on calling these Ducks when you and I and Daddy all know they are Geese!  Geez she just kept on saying Look Missy at the Ducks! And then wondered when I was looking All Around-- I Only saw Geese! ;)

Cept this guy! Can you see him Aunties? He's Trying to hide on the waaay other shore, and he's camouflaged in there but couldn't hide from me and mommy! He's a crane, ya know the guy with the Reaaal long neck but he put it back down here- he was trying to hide from Mommy's camera... He shoulda known you can't hide from her camera! ;)

Well there were Lots of kids wantin to look at the 'ducks' geez they called em that too... I didn't stick around to tell them any different! ;) 

We went up lots of old metal crinky stairs like a fire escape... I didn't like them but mommy said I was a trooper, I went up them all! And we saw this gorgeous, huge Magnolia tree! Look at those pretty blooms! :)

The Really good thing was when we got to the top of All those stairs and down a ways was one of My stores! Mommy an me went in and I got some treats for being sooo good! Cept I had to go by some Huge dogs on the way in- it was adoption day and they had some pit bulls and weinimyer (?) they were Big, they wanted to meet me, but I Didn't! ;) 

oh Aunties I am just Beat now... It was soooo hot, I just wanted to come in and cool off and sleep... I'm gonna hibernate till Fall! ;) Hope you enjoyed my day as much as me! ❤️Missy

Yes they Were Your Geese!!! I didn't know it then but I recognized them as soon as I got home and saw yours! Boy they had a looong flight to hide from you, didn't they! :hysterical: Thanks Tara, I sure was glad I had my new short haircut today! And even some ladies said they liked my braid, wasn't that nice! Ooh rest up, tomorrow's a Big day! :throb:Missy

Thanks so much Aunties! ❤️

Mommy was afraid I was gonna fall in Auntie Crystal, see they don't let you down by the water so you're up on a walk way kinda high up. and there was a Big gap between the fence and the walkway and Yup I stuck my head there and started to go through- scared mommy and my leash got Real short after that! :o I just wanted to see if I could kiss them! ;) ❤️Missy

it was Real hot Auntie Julia, I was panting Hard and I had lots of water breaks, I even drank those big dogs water! mommy watched me close the rest of the day... She said she's Never gonna do that again... Too hot! Guess no more trips till Fall... dern.. :( ❤️Missy

Missy:throb:

What a great day you had........pretty neat place that you visited. My Mom and Dad like to see things like that too. Here I go being the bad weather paw but it has been really nice here.....we had a picnic in Bailey Park yesterday and the breeze was blowing thru the trees...the sun was hot so we stayed in the shade........I was laughing cause my Mom forgets that there is a difference between ducks and geese too.......Mom says it is easier to say duck........I think maybe the geese that Cato and Tara saw might have been the same geese you saw cause they flew over our house in the direction of the UK yesterday.......and when they went over our house they were honking at us.......it was pretty funny.......and loud. Mom says we probably won't be doing any outings now either until the fall.......says it is too hot for us..........

Your Buddy
