Lewiston, Idaho

We are off to Lewiston tomorrow, for a 4 day weekend cluster of shows. With only one dog to show, and late judging times, it should be a very restful few days - might even get to see the Snake river (pictured above)....so watch this space.

Weekend in Georgia

I headed off to Atlanta last Wednesday for a 4 day weekend of shows - judging. It was held at the Georgia National Fairgrounds - which is a super location for a show - lots of air conditioned buildings, acres of grass and events for everyone - Lure Coursing, Agility, Obedience and Conformation. Great company, great dogs and just a super time was had by all.
We had dinner each night at Henderson Village, which is a collection of 19th century homes and cottages situated on 18 bucolic acres in the heart of Central Georgia and located at what was once a thriving stagecoach intersection.
They have this wonderful restaurant "Langston House" there, where we had a superb meal each night, with different dining companions each evening. The restaurant was full mainly with dog show people each night. Its well worth the trip, if you are in the area.

All the shows were well organized and the North Georgia Hound Show, was very well run and it was my pleasure to judge many lovely hounds - my placements were

Our New Toys

As regular readers of the Blog will remember, I have expressed dismay with our GPS unit - so we bought a LOWER priced TomTom, to replace the Garmin and you know what, it works better - satellite access is almost instant and not once has it led me astray, I LIKE it.


This week we decided to get a new sink, as I was fed up with the old sink staining and being hard to keep clean, so we got this cast iron sink, which has a low center divider - this makes it look huge. Whilst shopping we saw that you could now get a garbage disposal to use with a septic tank and so we bought that also.
The amazing thing is how quiet to garbage disposal is, you have to really listen to know that it's running. This is not my experience with the ones in many other homes.
So we are very happy with our new purchases.
