Stratford Upon Avon

Birmingham- Moor St Train Station
Last train trip before packing the bags to come home- Stratford Upon Avon. The entire center of town is a pedestrian zone with lots of shopping, eating and historical information regarding William Shakespeare. The home where he was born has been restored and many archaeological digs have been done in the region. A museum with research material for scholars is right next door. All of his writing is available for sale as well. Stratford itself is a small town so it was a very relaxed day all around. I got home at about 3:30pm just in time for tea and cakes with Julie. By the end of tea Barb and Jan had talked Julie into taking us all into town to visit thrift stores- you can't trust these two if there's a bargain to be had! Luckily it was late in the day so we couldn't get to very many shops before the sidewalks were rolled up at 5pm.

So packing is the priority for the evening! See you all soon.

With the occasional warmer weather the babies are now playing in their outside pen. Life is good! Thank you Dave and Meg for the nice picture!

Visited babies at Evanwhit today. Had our first toe nail trim. There's just nothing better than looking down to find a baby girl asleep in your lap.

From back in February.... Hi Barb! Our lil puppy (still no name)  really had a blast in the snow zipping around in it.  She is so funny, when she eats she takes food out of her bowl,  throws it on the floor and picks out only the little bits she likes.  I think its the shredded chicken out of the pro plan that she is favoring.  I need to figure out how to get her to not do that.  Maybe I will try to find a sample of the beef version and see if she still does that.   Chase is really enjoying the puppy and says he loves her.  The cat is coming around a bit, still stays clear of her but I think once he realize she is here to stay they will eventually be friends.  Old dog is teaching her in his own way best he can how to carry on his skills. I hope your week is going well. Sharon
