My Week

 Monday I was a volunteer  at the Abraham  Presidential Museum and stationed at the entrance to the White House.

Sojourner Truth and
Frederick Douglass

In the  evening I went to a meeting at the VFW.  

Tuesday  afternoon, Sophie had a trip to the nursing home.   In the evening I got all dressed up for the flag lowering ceremony at the Lincoln Tomb only  to back out of the dress because I wasn't feeling well.  I think the heat is getting to me.  I slept a lot.

Wednesday morning I took Amber to agility practice in Mechanicsburg.  We are trying to beat the heat by getting and early practice in.  As it was, she hid in the shade of the A frame.

Sean and I watched "The Patriot" for Independence Day.  As a result, I found the original Disney  version of Francis Marion whom my husband was named after. Video of the week is: 

Swamp Fox - The Birth of the Swamp Fox pt 1

 Here is a video that Sean took while Amber and I ran a CPE standard level 3 course.

 

here is the course map.

Sean exclaimed that seeing the event really added a new dimension of why we worked so hard practicing. He seemed impressed and I'm glad I could share it with him.

It was a tough call to leave early Sunday knowing how much this trial meant.  I left the fairgrounds early so I could go to bed.  It was air conditioned in the livestock center and then going out to humidity gave me hot and cold spells of weakness. It was probably a good decision but not an easy one. In fact I left in such a hurry that I left my sweater there but my fellow club members saved it for me and I can pick it up at the club.
