It looks like you go there once a year at least. How come you get to visit it so often? <br /><br />Thank you for the tip - I will definitely try it! I also find it a great way to keep memories that tend to disappear with time. Always great to come back to them and remember some small details.VVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4813452988626363249.post-75929318553997589322014-10-22T23:08:19.819+10:002014-10-22T23:08:19.819+10:00If I do something or go somewhere interesting then...If I do something or go somewhere interesting then I create a blog. I have found that blogging is a great way to look more closely at something and solidify my memory of it. I try to create a story that will give a viewer a sense of what it is like to actually be there. When I travel, I usually don't go out at night so blogging is a great way to fill in the evening hours.<br /><br />Try it yourself. It's not difficult.<br /><br />I am considering two possible trips next year. Turkey by myself or Capetown to Cairo with the bloke who I shared a compartment with on the Trans Mongolian. Probably in April / May.<br /><br />And we have house exchanges lined up in Germany and France for July / August.<br /><br />I am trying to become an old fuddy-duddy and so I don't use social networks much. It's hard enough keeping up with the email etc.Ray Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11860983772628690469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4813452988626363249.post-61506647835996583592014-10-22T16:56:00.052+10:002014-10-22T16:56:00.052+10:00Hi dear Ray,

So, sorry for that.<br /><br />Anyway, I just wanted to say that your blog is much appreciated and very enjoyable. My wife and I are really excited to see how scurpulous and accurate you are in making photos of places you go to. What I mean is that you don't only take pictures of a building, a tree and maybe something else. But you are attentive to such details as pavement, the type of fabrics on this or that, and other small details that make your blog especially interesting.<br /><br />And considering that there was no posts lately I was wondering if you are planning on doing any soon? And the second question is: are you planning on travelling again any time soon, where?<br /><br />Once again, thanks for sharing all these stories and pictures! If you are anywhere on social networks, it would be great to see you there. If not, what are those networks anyway?! :-)VVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4813452988626363249.post-70876489363582612422014-10-13T22:32:45.792+10:002014-10-13T22:32:45.792+10:00Thank you for the pictures.

I miss going but this ws great. I shared your thoughts when I saw the Airedale Rescue vehicle. But I laughed even harder when I found out it was Lori's who is a good friend of mine. But she is right, without looking official she would have had to argue with every traffic offical. Good idea Lori!<br />Shirleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4813452988626363249.post-75268940150783934972014-10-11T04:50:38.168+10:002014-10-11T04:50:38.168+10:00So much fun-thanks for sharing!

There are some Wheaten terriers in there and a number of others - always fun to see the Cairns and a Kerry and some Miniature Schnauzers and some Scotties. And just a little fyi, the dogs are being groomed, not primped. The male dogs especially would probably faint to hear they'd been primped. LOL The judging can go on for quite a long time as it's divided up into various classes. First the judge goes over all the females, then all the males, then moves on to choose the best of all the entries. So, depending on how many entries there are, it can be many hours before the judge gets to each one and makes that final choice. Lots of fun - lots of excitement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4813452988626363249.post-5822009518568322612014-10-07T04:52:01.392+10:002014-10-07T04:52:01.392+10:00Hi Lori,

That white 4Runner that you surmised must be the Airedale Rescue "official" car is mine and no, Airedale Rescue does not have an "official" car or if they DO, *I* do not own it!! Last year, based on all my prior years of Montgomery show experience setting up the quilt booth, I decided to create a couple large magnetic signs to affix to my vehicle. I did this because of the very strict "security" and "show police" who I had encountered in prior years and the difficulty in gaining access to the "Airedale Rescue booths area" near the Airedale ring, to unload all my quilt booth equipment and supplies on Saturday afternoon and again early on Sunday morning. The "National Airedale Rescue" signs affixed to the outside of my vehicle allow the "security" and "show police" to immediately determine that I have legitimate business in the restricted area and affords me a more expeditious way to get where I need to go, when I need get there, and allow my vehicle to be parked where it needs to be when I'm unloading and loading at the show.
