A cooler nights sleep but we both slept very well. Up at 6 am and put a pot of coffee on while I enjoyed my oatmeal. Then just before 7 am a small tap on the door. yup I figured Rob was here for some fresh brewed coffee. We always enjoy our morning coffees and chats with him when we are together. He headed back home shortly after 8 am. We puttered around a bit more computing just before 9 am then we headed to the
Pinery Market in Grand Bend today is their 3rd annual
Bark-toberfest if you like dogs and Beer this is the day to go.
And there was lots of dogs of all breeds and sizes all on leases and very well behaved, what a fun time enjoying all these dogs together seeming to enjoy this fun friendly day. I took way to many pictures and narrowed it down to still too many. But we had a very enjoyable morning.
Ran into Ron and Loree there (they did not bring Freddie) met the people along with them and carried on checking our all the dogs.

Lots of brewery comp out there today for barktoberfest. You had a nice day.
ReplyDeleteYes there is so many craft breweries around now and so many different types and flavours of beer, And seeing all the dogs was fun too.
DeleteWhat a busy day you both had. Loved seeing all the pooches and their owners. In Texas we have to wait until noon to be able to buy beer.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Paul had a nice birthday celebration. Why do you torture me George? I have been wanting a steak seems like forever and yours looks delicious!
It is currently 2:23 a.m. Central Standard Time and its 83 degrees in Del Rio!
It was busy and fun too, The market with all the dogs was a nice treat too.Here in Ontario 10 am during the week 11 am on sundays to by beer, I think Paul did have fun. Sorry Ms B but the steak was excellent too bad you can't have one.
DeleteSome day it will cool down for you .
Meant to say 12 noon on Sundays.
ReplyDeleteYou can purchase wine and beer in Texas Monday to Friday 7:00 a.m. to midnight. On Saturdays 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. and Sunday noon to midnight.
Liquor has other hours but since I do not drink liquor I do not know what those might be.
Have an early morning appointment so barely slept. It is 6:32 a.m with a temperature of 80 degrees at this hour.
Your hours there are much longer that our for beer,
DeleteYou did not get much sleep good luck with your appointment .
Barkfest looks like a lot of fun for sure..but yeah I don't think I need 14 tastes of beer! I'd like to walk out of there lol! Happy Birthday Paul! What a nice spread Pat put out..very sweet! Your dinner looks so yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun day we enjoyed it there, but even sharing the 14 tastes with Suzie was more that we wanted, so had to pass. It was a nice birthday celebration and lots of tasty snacks as well
DeleteWhat a great fun day. I'd go just to see the puppies, since I'm not a beer person. Looks like some great food too. Love the cow picture!!
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun day aan buy it cheaper at the beer storend the puppies a real treat as well. We do enjoy beer but can buy it cheap at the beer store.
DeleteYou welcome always nice to celebrate with friends when we can. And your birthday was a nice surprise as well.
ReplyDeleteIt was a busy day we enjoyed the market and all the dogs as well.
