The water can change you

Posted on by Standard 1

I spent a lot of time on the beach last week with Ohiophotogrl! We spent a lot of time walking and taking photos. After a few days of enjoying the beachs of Sanibel we went over to Fort Meyers. We went out on the beach there and I started to not feel so well. I walked over to a bench and sat down for a few minutes while Ohiophotogrl went to get me some water. When she came back she had a strange look on her face. It appears I had been bitten by something and started to change…


She rushed me inside so I could look in the mirror


OMG I was turning into a crab. The waitress at the place we stopped for lunch pointed out a sign that we hadn’t seen in the Island anywhere else….


She assured Ohiophotogrl that this happens to potatos in these parts. She said all we had to do was put me back into the water and I’d be fine. This didn’t stop Ohiophotogrl from taking a few more photos though.


As we walked along we found a Restraunt called Pinchers. So I had another photo taken.


Good news is I should be back to normal tomorrow. Which leads me to my next question….wonder what we’re gonna do tomorrow?

Ding Darling

One of the many stops in this trip was to Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge. The J. N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge is part of the United States National Wildlife Refuge System, located in southwestern Florida, on Sanibel Island in the Gulf of Mexico. It is named for the cartoonist Jay Norwood “Ding” Darling.


There is a museum when you first get there that has lots of cool things inside. (It’s also air conditioned in there :0) 


You can touch bones and skins of animals to see what they feel like. You can watch videos on different things that you can see in the refuge and most of all they have this really cool area where you can make something to take home.


Here is an example


We even met some fun people along the way. This is my new friend Monica!


What a fun place to take anyone that likes nature. We really enjoyed this place. After the museum you can drive your car, walk or take a team thru the refuge. There is a very small fee to do this and the wild life you see there is amazing! One other cool thing is check the coupon books that you pick up around the island. There was a coupon for a free reusable water bottle. They have filtered water stations through Sanibel Island. So having someplace to put water in was an added bonus! It’s hot in Florida and staying hydrated is mandatory!

We are having so much Fun! Wonder what we’re gonna do next?

Can you smell that

Posted on by Standard 1

I was searching the web this morning and I smelt this really great smell so I went on a search to find it. As I got closer to the kitchen I heard Ohiophotogrl cleaning up the kitchen. Was she making muffins?


I peaked in to the oven and sure enough hat is where the smell was coming from. She told me that she was making Zucchini, Carrot, Apple, Walnut muffins. I must say I was intrigued. She told me she had gotten the zucchini from the neighbor across the street and had gotten the carrots out of the garden. She even showed me a picture.


All I can say is yummy!


Here is the recipe:



Let us know if you make them! They were great! She also added a cup of walnuts!

Have a great day! Wonder what we’re gonna do next?

The show…

I got so busy that I didn’t have time to post while I was away. This Scotty people are so much fun!


Here I am helping ohiophotogrl with her game. She ran a poker run while the show was going on and we raised $134 for rescue! What a fun group we had. 60 people turned in a hand. We gave away a deck of Scotty Dog cards and wooden nickels 


We sure had a lot of fun! What do you do with your friends?

Wonder what we’re gonna do next?

Every year about this time Ohiophotogrl and her friend ScottieScouts go to a convention in Cincinnati, Ohio. This year is like their 34th convention. It’s a Scotty Dog show! Lots of collectables and lots of real dogs too. I can’t wait to share it with you. We got here a few days early to help set things up.

We even got to look for stuff when we got here…


There is Scotty stuff everywhere!

Wonder what we’re gonna do next?

Where we goin….

I know something is going on around here and I can’t figure it out……


The suitcases are out and Ohiophotogrl won’t tell me where she is going and if I get to go. Maybe I’ll get my suitcase out and load some stuff up just incase I get to go. I hope I get to go. Oh how I love an adventure! Stay tuned!

Wonder what we’re gonna do next?

I love summer

I don’t get much down time but when I do I like to hang out with Luna…


We like to lay in the sun. We talk about all the stuff that is growing in the garden. Luna would eat everything in the garden if I didn’t watch her. She loves a good salad :0) 

Wonder what we’re gonna do next?

What to do in the rain….

Posted on by Standard Reply

So here in the 937 it has rained pretty much all day. We needed the rain but we don’t get out much when it rains. I got to do one of my favorite things today…


Veg out in Ohiophotogrl’s bed and play on her iPad. There is a Mr Potatohead game! I could play it all day. I can change clothes, move around to different locations and the best part is I don’t have to leave this comfy bed!

What do you like to do on a rainy day?

Wonder what we’re gonna do next?

Look what I found

See that green thing in my hand….it’s a baby cucumber! We are really growing stuff. I’m so excited. Ohiophotogrl says we still have a few weeks till it will be big enough to pick and eat. But it does show that our hard work is paying off! Do you have some veggies growing in your garden? Let’s see……

Wonder what we’re doing next?
