Left this morning for a mini vacation. We drove to Monetville, about an hour south and slightly east of Sudbury to visit our friends Colin and Margaret and their two dogs Splash and Mexi. Splash was happy to see Zaph but Mexi announced her disapproval and for a little dog the announcement was very loud. After a few minutes Mexi accepted the fact that Zaph was staying, but she did keep Zaph in line during the visit --- no wandering into the master bedroom, no getting too close to Margaret when Mexi was nearby.

Had a wonderful steak dinner and that's quite a compliment coming from me as I'm not a big fan of steak. Played Mexican Train (a dominoes game) and had a lot of fun especially as I won.
