Only in Key West

New Years Eve day is the annual Key West Weiner dog parade in Key West. Since we have been going, it has grown from 1 block to yesterday's 3 blocks, including Duval St. The streets are lined with dog lovers, in some places 3 deep! The dachshunds are the stars, but all dogs are welcome.

Last year was the first year that Bailey marched in the parade and that was a fluke. This year she was prepared with a costume. Yes, she was dressed as a hot dog.

 

I think she looks adorable, but I think she's saying "Really?".

The parade was led by 2 police officers on horseback.

There was a Weiner truck, along with music. What did you expect? It's Key West.

And too many dachshunds to count. Where did they all come from?

 

 

And the spectators were like paperazzi for all the celebrity dogs. Bailey loved all the attention as she pranced with the other dogs, even stopping for some love.

 

It's such a fun way to start off the New Year celebration.

Wishing you have a happy, healthy, fun-filled and creative 2016.

Hello 2011

Happy New Year everyone.  As expected I did not make it up to see the ball drop.  Oh well, age has its drawbacks.  I did see the fireworks in Sydney on the 6:00 news.  Does that count?

Here's my list of intentions and wishes for the upcoming year:

1.  Spend lots of time travelling to quilt guilds sharing my Fiesta quilts.
2.  Good health
3.  A grandchild (hahahaha)
4.  Write a 2nd quilt book
5.  Do a better job of staying in touch with family
6.  Declutter my house
7.  Let my husband know how much I love him every day
8.  Get back into shape and on my bike
9.  A trip or 2 to an exciting locale
10.  Continue to share my knowledge and life on this blog, connecting with the most wonderful people
