Our plans are set, the flights are booked, we've told our families when we're arriving - we're going to both Fredericton, New Brunswick and Durham, North Carolina. I am beyond excited - I cannot wait! Two weeks of family time for the holidays. Trooper dog is coming to Fredericton with us, but we're putting him in boarding while we are in North Carolina - maybe next time we'll attempt to get him on a plane, but for now he'll have to make do at the Barking Dog. It's a very nice place with heated floors and fancy food and daily playtimes with the staff and baths and daycare where they play with other dogs. I doubt he's going to cry himself to sleep at night missing us... The Barking Dog is also where we take him for his obedience classes.
I have planned our vacation so that we are in Fredericton on a Saturday for the Farmer's Market - a crucial requirement for me. I need those veggie samosas and german sausages and breads and the delicious almond chocolate triangles...If you don't know what I'm talking about you can check out this link: Boyce Farmer's Market

Crazy Two Weeks!
Wow, it's been a while since I updated the blog. A lot has happened in the last two weeks. Dad came to visit a couple of weeks ago. He arrived the day after Father's Day. It was super fun, we went to Strawberry Bank in Portsmouth, which is the historic part of the town, something like King's Landing. Or Colonial Williamsburg. We also went to the Flume near Franconia in the White Mountains.
We drove up to Fredericton and I was there for a couple of days. Then I drove back with Stephanie. She stayed with us for 3 days. She painted and hung out and saw a bit of Durham, and then she took the bus back home.
On Sunday we started moving our stuff downstairs to Mike and Kim's old apartment in the basement. We cleaned it all up and started decorating, and I must say, it looks really spiffy now. It's a quirky little apartment and it's definitely the basement (no forgetting that) but it's looking really nice and homey. The kitchen is currently my favorite room, I'll put a picture up soon. But the living room and bedroom are well on their way to being very nice and cozy rooms too.
And somewhere in all of the craziness, we adopted a dog. Cayo is the newest member of our little family. She's definitely a handful, and has a lot of energy. She's a two year old shar-pei mix. Whatever the mix is, it's something smaller than her, because she's full grown, and smaller than a full grown shar-pei.

Dad's coming to Durham!
Dad is flying in to Boston on Monday, June 18th, the day after Father's Day. It'll be fun to take him around and show him CCOM, and go to Portsmouth, and maybe go up to the mountains. And then we're going to drive up to Fredericton, and I'll stay there and visit for a few days. I can't wait! Home sweet home...Freddy Beach here I come!
