For the last two days we have been looking for doghouses. In the last entry I talked about finding the Ocala painted horses. But yesterday we were informed only about 25 of the 50 horses are still in the area and there is now a new charity project, designer doghouses. So instead of horses we had a fun scavenger hunt looking for doghouses. There are 29 pieces and we found 25of them. The remaining four are either damaged waiting for repairs or in storage and not yet delivered. I am including lots of pictures of the doghouses. You may not want to spend a lot of time looking at them. I hope you will enjoy the creativity and workmanship of these unique structures as much as we did.

This was a great ending of our summer trip with Richard and Vera. We’ve had a lot of fun traveling together, visiting different places and people, experiencing different restaurants, staying in various campgrounds and Wal Marts. We will both be staying at Ponderosa this winter so this will not be the end of our shared adventures. Though my entries may not be as frequent, check in often to see what we are doing next.
