Hi, I have been hiking in Krasna Lipa. I spent a good day in beautifull countryside.

We went 30 kilometers...

I'm leaving now, I'm going to the U.S.A. - Ohio to visit creamcicle. Bye my home, bye my mum....

Hi mommy, I made it to the USA, a small rural town in Ohio called LYNX, it is named after the Lynx cat that was seen in this area years and years ago.. There is so much wildlife & attraction here....Robin (thats my guardian) she is so nice, she showed me around her home, she dont have any children, but that is okay she is crazy over me she loves my BIG smile...!  She loves the outdoors, she has a beautiful Goldfish Pond, it has 30 fish in it, frogs, and other wildlife...and she has a cat named Orange Cat , she is nice too....and there are so many flowers to see, we went on a nice walk up her country road, its just a dirt road and, not like the busy highways that are paved, you hardly ever see a car pass by..on our walk we seen several birds, even a Red-Tailed Hawk,!  The leaves are turning beautiful colors here reds,oranges,yellows,rusts,etc....Its in the Autumn Season , its beautiful, and Its so peaceful here...great place to relax especially after that long trip..Tommorow she is taking me to her work place, its a nursing home, I will meet alot of people....and will will go on a hiking trail to a place called Buzzards roost this weekend! She said you can find information online about that Mommy!.....well, I am soooo tired mommy, I am gonna watch a movie with her then go to bed....sweet dreams mommy, I will talk to you in a day or two....

Hi Mommy!
creamcicle took me to work with her again.....we stayed busy again, I had my picture taken with several residents there, it is for their scrapbook......we had a activity this morning called "Current Events", that is where she reads the local newspapers to those who cannot read it themselves,  and then they have discussion....Then in the afternoon, we went on a Fall Leaves Tour, this was fun...they even made sure I was in a seat-belt in the van  (keeping me safe!)  we went to several places on the tour, including The Adams Lake, it is a state park....very pretty there, we seen squirrels, canadian geese, wood ducks, and other birds.....the leaves are changing so fast here.....the colors are pretty & the air is cold...!

Here I am at the Adams Lake Park......it is so Pretty here!

Hi Mommy, went to work today with Robin.....we lots of  fun things , we went for a nice moring walk with the residents, its was sunny , and the air was a little cool........we enjoy viewing  the beautiful Fall leaves!!  Later when we returned, the Therapy girls Debbie & Danita, wanted me to visit with them for awhile...Debbie Showed me the Bicycle & let me use the weights.....(here is me using the weights!!!)

Me on the Bicycle in the Therapy Room, at the Nursing Home

Today we went on a Van ride with the Residents....it was called "FALL TOUR" , we enjoyed the countryside , fall foilage, the pretty colors of reds, yellows, rusts, & greens....soooo pretty!  We stopped on a old country road, and rolled the windows down to just listen to the leaves as they fell....what a peaceful sound! Then along the way we saw some cows....one even MOOED at me , we all laughed! Then we drove on & saw a really pretty view of some cows down in a valley & the smoke stacks in the background , right by them is the Ohio River & then cross it, is the state of Kentucky! What a View!  Then we drove a little further & come across a very Historic Landmark in this area, a place called the "Counterfeit House"....this is very interesting!!

Here is the Beautiful view of the valley, the cows & the smoke stacks !

Here is the "Counterfeit House" , the story behind this is back in the Civil War time, the folks that lived there made counterfeit bills ...The house featured many boo-boo traps & hidden doors & compartments including the four chimneys the house had, 2 of the chimneys were to heat the home, while the other two were dummies & used to hide the counterfeit money & plates that made the bills....but the pipes led thru the dummy chimneys to make smoke come from them , as ifg they were working....do you see the top window in the attic? (see pics) , well, when people ordered counterfeit money, would come across the river on boats, & they would look for a signal from that window (this would be a light from a lantern) ..if the lantern was light, then the people on the boat would walk up the hill to the counterfeit house & give real cash for counterfiet money (lots of it), if no signal was given, then they knew the money was not ready or something was wrong........There sure is alot of HIstory here!!!    this "Counterfeit House" is privately owned...

Today a new ToyVoyager came to with us....her name is Penny-Bo, she is a cute horsie!  We went to work with Robin & there we met a new ToyVoyager that arrived....his name is LeoPold, he is real friendly....we all had a great time together!

WOW, Robin & I and the rest of the ToyVoyagers, (Penny-bo, Sox, & Leopold), have been soooooo busy, we have had a great time during the Halloween Holiday!!! We picked out pumpkins at a local pumpkin patch...that was fun, then we painted them!!!! Look at the neat pumpkins we painted!!
