So glad I went to Plymouth. It was the most beautiful and picturesque spot of trip. Town was right out of a movie set. Sunrise was spectacular, coming up as fishermen were leaving the harbor.

Flea at Sunrise
So glad I went to Plymouth. It was the most beautiful and picturesque spot of trip. Town was right out of a movie set. Sunrise was spectacular, coming up as fishermen were leaving the harbor.
Sunday am
I meant to say Carol's puppy girl was 6 months and 1 week old in Boston.
Talking to Cheryl on Saturday night, I was saying how early it got light here. By 5 am.
She said wouldn't it be cool to see the sunrise out of the Atlantic Ocean, since I had seen it so often set in the Pacific. So pulled out map, and saw that Plymouth Rock was a possible viewing spot. Called front desk and clerk looked up sunrise time, 5:13 and said Plymouth was a great choice. She hadn't done it since High School. This was at 11pm.
So set my alarm for 3:30 am and we were off. It was beautiful.
MPCA Judging continues
WOW!!! Carol wins BBE with her 6 month 6 week old puppy. What a great win. Now Carol and Salina have to wait for tomorrow for winners dog and bitch before Best of Breed. I would go crazy.
MPCA Breed Judging May 30
Boy judging began at 10 am and so exciting Flyer wins 6-9 puppy dog. Looking back at my posts I see I got ahead of myself and used today's picture for Flyer's Sweeps win. Congratulations again to Carol, Mary and Salina.
Flea and I are on at 1pm after just 2 girls. So we are fresh and ready. She has been resting on the beaches of Boston and is ready to go.
She showed great, was so on. Stacking when ever asked, really throwing herself into great some ones. We had worked on our down and back to the judge and she was flawless.
So good on table I was so proud. Judge Lemcke really managed the 14 puppies well. Judge moved us into 3rd!! But as usual I started to choke, got tense and Flea felt it and quit showing. A dismal 5th? Moved back and out of the ribbons.
But I am very excited about our next show, in Canby at the 2 specialties.
Other friends from the Northwest had some great placements. Judy, Janis and Myrna, Congratulations to everyone.

1000 Island dressing
Okay where has all the 1000 Island dressing gone? I ordered room service yesterday, asked for 1000 Island dressing for my fries. We don't have any they said. No 1000? But they did have a very nice BBQ Ranch.
The food at Hotel Restaurant was great. So funny here in a area where seafood is king the host hotel's restaurant was was "Pike's Peak Mining Company" a steak house. I had some great meals.
But anyway. on for the hunt for dressing. Out and about I stopped at a railroad car restaurant, like I see on Drive ins, Diners and Dives on the Food Channel. Their specials for the day hanging in the window, was Scrod(Yucky name) and Fish and Chips, so of course I ordered Shrimp and Chips. I always mean to get the fish, but always get the shrimp.
So I go into this railroad car dinner in the parking lot of the Dollar Store and its like a 50's dinner, and at the counter is the owner doing paperwork. I order and ask for 1000 Island dressing for my fries, waitress says we don't HAVE THAT. But owner pipes in of yes we do. Its downstairs on the shelf under the stairs. I say no, don't go to any trouble. He says no problem and sends waitress down to the bowels of the restaurant, to come back with a dusty bottle of Wishbone dressing. I stick to the tartar sauce. I wonder what they dip their fries in back East. Never did find out.

Boston May30
Drove out to a point called Squantuam Island, and they think we have weird names out west. Drove through University of Massachusetts where the JFK Library is. Very beautiful. Wanted to see Harvard, but just no time. Doing all this driving I kept having "Love Story" flashbacks. That Farrah show from last week still on my mind.
They said the weather was going to clear up and it did.
Sat May 30 Boston
Took off at 6am to drive up coastline and end in Boston. We show at 1pm. A few directional setbacks but saw a lot. Along the Boston Harbor there there were cops everywhere and at every intersection. I thought oh no, they are setting up a road block, must be a bank robber or something. And then over the hill in approaching traffic, hundreds of bicyclists. A bike race. So much for my chance to see big city crime. It was so pretty. Now if I was a Sports Illustrated photographer I would have a picture of that.
