I'm Home!

Back in Texas
​

​I can't believe I'm home.  (And writing my blog, again!) When I went on vacation with Beth and Don I thought I would be gone a week in New York.  But Beth lost me and my dear friends, The Lackos found me.  I stayed with them for a few weeks and we went on some exciting adventures around Lake Placid and Lansing, NY. ​

The Lackos introduced me to Rose so I'd have a friend, then they packaged us safely and sent us to Texas.  It was hard saying good-bye.  I miss playing pool and going fishing, but I promised I'd show Rose some things she's never seen.  First I had her climb this!  Guess where we are?

Palm Tree!
​

---

This thing is not small!  It took us about an hour to climb a third of the way up.
Then we found the hole and rested for a long time. Then up we went... and up some more... and way up...

To the Top!
​

---

Okay, this photo is really another palm tree.  Very short.  But we thought about climbing all the way up the tall one.  Another day, maybe.

Then what did we do?
​

---

We rested again.

Here we are resting in a special chair!  I saw a lot of these in Lake Placid.  In fact I posed on one shortly before I was lost.   I thought Rose would be very impressed that I have one of these, because she is from New York.

​Adirondack Chair!
​

---

Rose was impressed.  In fact she told me the history of Adirondack chairs.  (Rose seems to know a lot of stuff) She said the original design was created by Thomas Lee in 1903 when he was vacationing in the Adriondack mountains.

​Wide Armrests
​

---

Here's a picture of me in Lake Placid, sitting comfortably on that smooth, flat armrest.  (kind of like a beaver tail, I told Rose)  She told me they used to make each chair out of one piece of wood cut into 11 pieces.  But I wasn't really listening because I was thinking about getting lost in Lake Placid.  I'm glad that happened.  I never would have met The Lackos or Rose!
