Raven, Obi & Roger (L to R) in Maple Lake - August 2, 2010

Obi at Kawartha Dairy, Minden Ontario

We adopted Obi about 2 months ago. His caretaker did not know what breed he is.  We are pretty sure that Obi is mixed and there have been many guesses with Boston terrier coming up frequently along with Schipperke, a much more rare breed that interestingly, his purebred “step-sister” Raven is. We adopted Raven 10 years ago after she’d been abandoned, we guess because her hip dysplasia rendered her worthless for breeding. Their loss, our gain.

Kawartha Dairy ice cream is the best in cottage country. Fresh (versus grocery store bought) is best. There’s a Karwartha Dairy ice cream stand and store just outside of Minden Ontario on Hwy 35.

Haliburton Midnight Madness

Midnight Madness in Haliburton  was big fun. Each of my family members founds great bargains while browsing the shops,  enjoying the live music, the square dancers, and the famous Beef on a Bun. If you’ve gone in years prior and haven’t been recently you must go again next year because with Highland Street closed down for cars for the duration, strolling along is very pleasant with plenty of room for the enthusiastic crowd and for you to mingle with old friends and easily chat with folks that otherwise would be strangers but with the convivial atmosphere could easily become new friends. As you can see from the photo up top things are a bit crazy which amps up the fun factor all the more.
