After a brief stint at
home, Alasdair and I went to Lexington, KY. As he headed back to Missouri, I rented a car and set out on a journey.
My plan was to visit
Christine at Rural Hill, see my family in SC and catch up with my girlfriends
from Clemson Nov 15-18
As I arrived in the
Carolinas it felt as it always does, like home.
The foliage was
spectacular.
Rural Hill was great fun.
Thank you to Dean Holcomb, the set-out crew, Dr. Ben, Millie & all the
volunteers. I brought Max & Cap
along for this trip with the hope of garnering some points & mostly to
spoil them after a difficult few months; we managed a bit of both.
Congratulations to Alan
Higgenbottom won both days with his 11 year old Vic!
71 dogs ran Open I &
closer to 50 Open II. Max and Cap were in the top 8 Open I & neither
got the breaks in Open II. I was pleased
with their performance. They had not worked sheep in a week but both ran not so
bad. The weather was superb, the organization and hospitality were excellent
and the encounters in the corn maze, epic.
I was often in the company
of Canadians and once again, humor and laughter prevailed.
In addition to the title, many
other truths came to light….
Vic Wilcox makes a brilliant
dirty martini, virtue is its own reward, brie and blue cheese mix well, Dee’s smile
is infectious, envy slays itself, what happens in the corn maze, stays in the
corn maze, lawn men are guileful, scotch combined with dog toys are not for the faint of heart, there are not many better endings to the weekend than watching football & snuggling a border collie.
