We celebrated Mark’s birthday yesterday and we did lunch at our favorite microbrewery in Topeka, the Blind Tiger.
Daisy signed the card…more or less. Our Amazon gift is coming in this weekend. It takes the dudes at Amazon.com forever to wrap presents. Good grief. Still, a happy birthday to my hubby and I look forward to toasting many more with him…Good times.
Last weekend, we took advantage of the hot summer-like weather and headed down to Wichita for Riverfest. It takes place by the Arkansas River…overflowing from last weeks heavy rain. For my Cali readers — the name of the river is pronounced: “Ar-kansas”….apparently the river goes through a name change as it snakes through different states.
This family of ducks managed to swim against the Arkansas River current – a pretty amazing feat, given how fast and strong the water flowed….
This is the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge. I was tickled to see these talented pups race through the poles…just like watching them on Animal Planet, but now with the sun beating down on our necks. Such good dogs! Daisy may have the energy to compete, but she’d want to take a bite out of the cheering audience members.
This is Cassie. I suppose we could call her one of the canine groupies. Her owners told me her hair was done up in a summer cut. She’s cute, but she looked like she wanted to dig into the Gatorade.
And no festival would be complete without yummy food. Mark ordered this Beef Brisket sandwich from Texas Red’s BBQ. It tasted smoky and savory — with a nice sweet and tangy sauce.
