Back from vacation

They got back yesterday afternoon, but reports have it that someone did a lot of complaining about how long it took for them to get back home. And she said something about "there better be ice cream" or something like that. 

Well, today I extended our afternoon walk over to the food carts. I like bringing her up there just to hang out among people, but something else is happening. The man who runs the Chinese food cart, always has this stern look on his face. But the last time I was up there with Izzy I talked about her and he smiled. Today I got myself some pork and fried rice. Izzy was fidgeting, have to keep her on a short leash, but she attracted lots of attention, good attention. I think it's her eyes. They are golden. With her wheat-colored coat her eyes are magnificent. And the Chinese chef, when he called me over to get my order, looked down at us and smiled. This guy never smiles. And he smiles at Izzy.
