Delay Of Game!

Greetings to all!  It's me, Maggie!  We had a great walk this morning once a wild storm cleared out. We would have been happy to walk in the rain, but there was lightning, so we had to wait.  Fortunately the storm brought some cooler temps, so we were able to get over 4.5 miles in this morning.  Want to come along with us?  Get a quick drink and let's GO!

Near the top of the first hill, we had an awesome backdrop of the stormy skies.  Mom tried to get us to pose together.  We came up with this:

Ragnar and me

Pretty nice shot, but uh ... she didn't get the sky in. Oops.

She tried to get us to pose together on the sidewalk, but we just didn't feel like it.  She finally gave up.  I stood there laughing for a sec - and being the sneak that she is ...

"Ha roo roo roo!"

Oh, well.  Is IS a pretty cool, gnarly sky, isn't it?

Up around the curve, Dad held our leashes real quick while Mom snapped this:

"Look away, Ragnar!"
"Got it, Mags!"

On to the walking!  We went up about a gazillion hills, which was wonderful, then got to where it levels out a bit.

Me and Ragnar!

We walked through some pretty garden areas ...

Me and Ragnar again!

... and past some pretty houses.

"Mom likes that grey one best!"
"It matches me!"

Aren't the skies cool?!?!  (Mom and Dad checked the radar closely before we left, in case anyone was wondering!)

Time to start heading downhill!

Guess who?  Yep.  Me and Ragnar!

Oh.  And then another steep uphill.  When we got to the top of that one, Mom asked us very nicely to pose.  Since  there was someone we wanted to stare at  we wanted a quick break anyway, we obliged:

Polargold's Margaret Thatcher and Polargold's Einherjar

I think if me and the Viking cut an album, that could be our cover art.  What do you think?

And finally ... heading downhill again:

"Almost home, Ragnar!"
"Less than a mile, I think!"

It started raining again about 15 minutes after we got home -- great timing, huh?  Thanks for coming with us!

Yours sincerely,

Margaret Thatcher
