It's a Festival....or The Saga of a Kinapped Pabu

Good gosh I wish I had some exciting news to share with you but alas, none. Life has been work, sleep and more work. How boring. Hubby did convince me to walk across the street on Saturday morning to go to the festivities of Elihu Burritt Day. ~ ~Burritt  studied to be a blacksmith in town. He was a very intelligent man, and had an aptitude for languages, and wrote over 37 books and articles. President Lincoln appointed him United States consul in Birmingham England. This earned him the title of "Learned Blacksmith"; he continued being an occasional blacksmith to make extra money. In 1848 he created the precursor to the League of Nations and the United Nations called the First International Congress of the Friends of Peace which convened in Brussels in Sept. 1848. He also advocated in Britain for the Ocean Penny Post, a reduction in the current rate. He argument was that this would increase international correspondence, trade, hence universal brotherhood.

Hay Ride

These two young girls were staying at the Inn for a few days and I waited on them the night before. They were from Barcelona, Spain and did not speak English. The little one followed me around while I was working and I told her parents to bring them over the next day to see our dogs. So when I ran into them at the festival with dogs in tow, it became a love affair (on their part) at first site.

Pabu gets kidnapped!

 While hubby talks with their dad.

 "Daddy!!!! They're taking me away. DADDY!!

 

The Jester!

Pabu finds a dog friend!

 There goes a balloon.

 "Daddy do you see me?" Help!!

 

 Dalai meets a BIG BOY!

 

And so does Pabu!

 

Pabu feeling his attempts to be saved are fruitless.

So he settles in with the Jester.

While Hubby continues to talk with their dad.

"No lady, we are never giving him back."

 

I finally dragged hubby away from his new German friend and
was able to get Pabu back and enjoy more of the festivities.
