On Saturday, 5/10/08, li'l Maggie went to the Chester Valley Kennel Club Dog Show. Results? First placed in her class! Other than that we didn't fare too well, but as they say in this business, there's always another day/show.

We took some pictures at the show (of course) for your viewing pleasure...

Here's a gaggle of Shelties, milling about just before they got ready to enter the show ring:

After the show was over, rather than take a boring, mundane high-speed turnpike ride back to our home, we opted to meander along a serene, pasotoral route through the countryside. Besides seeing cows grazing in the fields, ducks swimming in quiet ponds and verdant fields all from the comfort of our van, we also came upon this strange sight:


Can anybody guess what the heck those twin cooling towers are harboring beneath the entrails of steam waifting so elegantly toward the azure blue sky?
