Watermelon is set out on the table and I want to feed it to Snoopy, Joe's grandparent's golden retriever. Last time we were here he ate a few pieces, rind and all. We're visiting Joe's grandparents down the shore. The dogs are cute. Well Snoopy's cute, Patsy is funny looking. His butt arches upward and his tail looks out of place.

So I started this post two days ago and now it's no longer the day we were at Joe's grandparents house. Joe's grandparents are very elderly, but Joe's grandfather still does a lot. He has a garden all around the house and grows all sorts of vegetables. Yesterday we had a salad with some lettuce and tomatoes from his garden.

On the drive up we stopped at a diner (as always) and our table had crayons on it. I happily scribbled on my placemat. 
We took Snoopy on a walk, possibly his first and only walk his entire 12-year life. He seemed pretty happy but he kept slowing down. Poor old puppy. That night we went to the boardwalk and walked on the beach.

On Friday Joseph and I went to the mall and I got some Magic cards. They have a new set called Archenemy and something called the deck builder tool kit which has over 100 cards in it.

I also got a very silly mythic rare:
I put it in a deck but haven't used it yet
We also had an enjoyable 4th of July. In the afternoon we traveled to Footbridge Park for a festival. There were a handful of stands with different things up for purchase. I took pictures of the dogs I saw.
We bought a stuffed puppy for charity and I stuffed it and put a little heart in it. He's full of love. 
Later we went to the field to watch the fireworks. They were awesome. I just laid on the grass with Joe and watched them. My favorites are the ones that crackle.
This weekend Joe, brother and I have been playing Heroes of Might and Magic V. It's pretty fun and since it's from 2006 it runs beautifully on my laptop. While playing today I discovered a tiny spider perched between my USB plug and my laptop. Joe tried to remove him, but he just ran into the USB hub. He eventually fell and disappeared into the rug.
Later today we plan on heading to my mom's house to give her a birthday present. I'm not looking forward to starting classes tomorrow. I'm going to miss my "vacation."
*The sky is over...*
Too bad you didn't get a picture of Snoopy's front. He's cute. Remember when we ate at that place on the boardwalk where the waitresses all wore the shirts that said it was featured on The Jersey Shore?
