Met Dorina from Toluca, Mexico

Yesterday was Dad's 75 birthday, Mom  took him to Gilbert's Underground Kitchen, they have opened their patio, so Gigi, Poppy & I will be able to accompany Mom and Dad, rather than staying in the car, the next time.

After dinner we went downtown for a walk, where we met Dorina.  She is visiting from Toluca, Mexico.  LaTorre's was closed so no cookies tonight. [1]

Gigi, Dorina, me, blocking Poppy and mom.

Nice meeting you Dorina, hope you enjoy your time in Fernandina.

[1] La Torre's and Amelia Fine Jewelry  both hand out cookies, so they are on our cookie route.  Sometimes we visit Happy Tomato Cafe, where Rick gives us bacon.  On Tuesday's when the dog park is closed we usually visit Fantastic Fudge, where we share mom and dad's ice cream.

Anna & Rebekah from Atlanta

It was Tuesday, and the dog park was closed.  That means a trip downtown, with a stop at the ice cream shop.

On the way we met Anna and Rebekah, from Atlanta.  Anna also has a blog, but didn't send the URL, maybe she will so we can cross post.
