The day has been nice and out of the ordinary: we went on a fun road trip with loads of traffic on the highway though due to construction. Hubby found it rather stressful and could not enjoy the beauty, outstanding truly, of the valley near abbotsford, the sumas or sumac valley I forget the exact name.

The dog seemed charming but he will be much cleaner and more pampered with pedicures and shampoos at a fancier new house than ours. We are bohemians: collies long hair is not for us as it is too much pampering daily and we dont enjoy that either of us.
