Adventures in "the 'Hood"

 Today, me and Teka decided that we would

keep our "adventure" close to home.

So,,,,,This is our house in Richmond VA.

(for earlier houses, check prior posts!)

 And this is the park right across the street.

It is small, but very pretty.

 OPA

This weekend we will be right at the center

of the excitement.  The Greek Festival 

takes place just about a block away 

from our house.  This "hood" smells

wonderful...starting about 3:00 pm

this afternoon!  

If you are coming

to the festival, and need a place to 

park, we have room for two cars

(if they are friendly) in our driveway.  

Let us know if you are coming.  

Otherwise, we will have you towed!

 We are also close enough to these places to 

walk to them, even though we will not do that 

today.  That is my dad's head next to the sign, 

so you can see that the bottom of the sign is

about 7 ft. from the ground.

 On the South side of Cary St, but "North of the James"

is a wonderful neighborhood called "Windsor Farms"

We like to walk there because it is shaded, and because 

we kind of snicker when the muzzer gets excited about

a nice house or garden.  We are simple dogs and

it doesn't take much to amuse us.

 This is a pillar at one of the entrances.

 This is a reallly big magnolia tree.

 And this is one of "those" houses that makes muzzer 

so happy.

 And this is me, needing a haircut.   But I can still make 

muzzer smile.

 All of the sidewalks in this neighborhood are

made of hand laid brick.   Most of them are

well maintained.

 But some of them are not well cared for.  This is

one of the reasons muzzer grumbles until she sees 

a neat house.   Bricks that are heeding nature's message

to get out of the way make her trip, then she curses, and

sometimes she falls.   To avoid this, we make her

wear really dorky shoes.  It helps a little bit.

 This is another house that she likes.

 And another house!

 With a truly lovely side yard and conservatory.

And a for sale sign!   Uh Oh!  Dad is in trouble fer sure, 

fer sure.   Actually, we hope that you all will fall in

love with our "hood" and buy this so that we can

be your neighbors.  Mr. Rogers Reigns.
