Oh, What a Day! by taffy

Oh, What a Day!

Hi, I'm Nutmeg. Taffy said I could do the entry today because it was a HUGE day for me. I'm back on Beaver Island, where I've spent every summer for the past 13 years. Here's me in the car, surrounded by boxes and bags and suitcases. That part of the day wasn't so great, or getting up while it was still dark out and having to go for a walk which I didn't want to do and then sit in the car for a really really really long time. But the REST of the day was great -- a car that goes in the sky, sniffing in the woods, and no stairs to deal with when I want to go in and out. So today is all about me. That's why I get to do the entry. Taffy will be back tomorrow with the start of photos of Beaver Island. She said she is really sorry she isn't commenting on everyone's photos (I don't know what that means, but it seems to be a big deal to her) but that she will catch up soon (by the way, I don't like to play catch). Thank you for visiting me. Your friend, Nutmeg

PS from Taffy -- just a 'record of what is happening' photo. Looking forward to catching up and starting to share scenes and people once we get unpacked and settled in -- a few more crazy days, then hopefully serenity for a whole summer, first time not working in almost 50 years - wow....
too, too cute. Nutmeg, enjoy your summer! Tell Taffy to enjoy the time OFF!! :)

Oh Nutmeg, you are so sweet and I hope you have an awesome summer too.
I bet you loved all those sniffs - and will sleep well tonight.
Tell Taffy not to worry about commenting, to enjoy her time off, and that we look forward to Beaver Island pics.

May 27th, 2013  
Lovely meeting you, Nutmeg! Can't wait to see more photos.
May 27th, 2013  
You are very literate Nutmeg! I enjoyed meeting you and hearing about your special day today! I hope we can talk again soon!
May 27th, 2013  
Pleased to meet you, Nutmeg! So glad you managed this day so well. Tell Taffy to get busy taking photos of your new home. This fan is anxious to see the new digs!
May 27th, 2013  
Oh Nutmeg!! You are quite delightful! Enjoy your summer....if you ever come to Oregon our Charlie would love to meet you. He love to play and share his toys. Take good care of Taffy for us. By the way..you are very photogenic!!

Hi Nutmeg, great job and your descriptions are as fabulous as Taffy's. Can't wait to see what she has in store for us!
May 27th, 2013  
Adorable

nutmeg, you are a cute dog! taffy, enjoy the start of your 'off work' time :-)
May 27th, 2013  
Enjoy your holiday Nutmeg. I suggest you find some interesting shots for Mum to do from your perspective...it won't hurt her to get down on her belly and find a whole new world to photograph :) PS: If she groans about getting low to the ground...remind her that you have to deal with stairs all the time so this just won't hurt her much!
May 27th, 2013  
Nice to meet you Nutmeg :) Hope that you and Taffy will enjoy your summer together :)
May 27th, 2013  
Great entry, Nutmeg! Can't wait to see photos of your wonderful summer with Taffy!
May 27th, 2013  
Nutmeg , tell Taffy this is probably the most interesting entry on 365 today... really happy you are going to have a wonderful summer.... though do fully understand how it must feel to be cramped for hours in a car...
Ps tell Taffy not to get stressed about the comments.... we will miss her.... but 365 is our feel good zone , so it's okay to chill....
May 27th, 2013  
Nutmeg, tell Taffy not to worry and to de-stress, I look forward to seeing more photos and to catching up when she is unpacked and feeling more settled, lots of love xx
May 27th, 2013  
Wonderful shot on what's happening with you. I'm very much looking forward to pics of you and Nutmeg at Beaver Island!
May 27th, 2013  
Really great shot, and love the write-up. Sounds like an amazing start to your summer. Can't wait to see it!
May 27th, 2013  
Hey Taffy,do me favor-take ur time,breath and don't worry 'bout commenting-and nice to meet U,Nutmeg:)Take care :)
May 27th, 2013  
Hi, Nutmeg. So, Taffy is your boss... That must be tough for you... Because she's either working, photographing, looking atphoto's or commenting on them... Terribly boring... Tell her, you make a good model but the car's too untidy as background;) Wish her all the best and inspiration on Beaver Island. I hope she doesn't want to play catch with you. Take care! :)

Wow Nutmeg! Your writing skills are beyond excellent! I enjoyed that very much! It sounds like you all will have a wonderful summer!
May 27th, 2013  
Nutmeg is a brilliant story teller and this shot speaks volumes and is reminiscent of so many journeys in rather full cars. Have a wonderful restful time.
May 27th, 2013  
Nutmeg you are adorable! I'm glad you survived your big trip. I love those cars that fly in the sky. And I like walking in the woods too- I like sniffing the air and smelling the pines. I hope you and Taffy have a wonderful time on Beaver Island! I'm looking forward to seeing Taffy's shots of this beautiful place.

Thanks for your ideas for Taffy, Marloes and Kazzy! I wrote you a note in the photo from the beach today. Love, Nutmeg
May 27th, 2013  
Hi, Nutmeg! What a cutie!
May 28th, 2013  
I haven't spent so long commenting lately either so I've missed some of your shots and your fascinating stories. Hi to Nutmeg, and I'm looking forward to hearing all about your days on the beach.

@nicoleterheide @willowdragon @colie
Thanks Nicole, Al, and Colie! Nutmeg appreciates the comments about how cute she is and the empathy for having to travel amidst all that stuff.
May 28th, 2013  
Ooooh, you should write a Nutmeg story...... too cute and funny! Love all the familiar packing up chaos surrounding her!
May 29th, 2013  
Hi Nutmeg, sweetest dog in the world! I'll bet you are happy happy happy to be back on the island!
May 30th, 2013  
Nutmeg is gorgeous - hope you have a wonderful summer - chill and relax - looks like a beautiful spot! : )
May 30th, 2013  
Oh Nutmeg! You are so pretty! Are you a Bernese Mountain Dog? I used to have a friend who had 3!! There was no room in his bed for me! haha Have a great summer! Sounds like a wonderful place to visit! I'll have to google it!
May 31st, 2013  
@havrotb Thank you Barbara! I used to get up in the bed, but it's too high now for me. But I have a really nice bed of my own that Jim and Taffy move around so I can be with them. Taffy said I could write again and share stuff about my time on Beaver Island. It's a very good place to be. Your friend, Nutmeg, the Bernese Mountain Dog

Hi Nutmeg, You look quite at home amongst all the boxes and bags. I hope the car journey wasn't to stressful. Have a great summer and say hi to Taffy for me!
June 2nd, 2013  
Hi Nutmeg, I hope you have a lovely summer with Taffy and Jim. I look forward to seeing more of you over the next few weeks. Have lots of fun :)

@thirtysevenways From Nutmeg: Thanks TSW! It's been much fun. I like it here a lot so even though I can't get up by myself, it's fun lying on the deck and biting at flies. And I like going for little walks too -- lots of good smells.
