A date with Suzuki

It has been a whirlwind of romance here. The totally magnificent SUZUKI arrived here in The Secret City for a little fun with none other than me! Mom got her friend Robert H to fly his WWII Stearman over to pick SUZI up. It was a rather long and windy flight for her - but she was absolutely stunning upon her arrival.

Our first stop was at Melton Lake where we popped in on one of the crews preparing for the next regatta. I took charge as the "cockspup" [I think I'm on the wrong end] - but nevertheless there I was with SUZI riding along with great joy. [you might need to click on the photo to see us]

Once we finished the tiring work of getting our boat to the finish line we headed off to Razzelberry's for an ice cream cone. We share a lot of licks and giggles.

As our time was nearing I had one more place that I wanted SUZI to see and that was the FRIENDSHIP BELL

The bell is an expression of the hope for everlasting peace, friendship, and understanding among all people of the world.
I don't seem to have a photo of us at the bell but SUZI might.
SUZI had to return to Australia because she is a very busy reporter as her alter ego Bark Kent, she needed to get back to work. I hope that she will make a return trip to Oak Ridge soon - or perhaps I can scoot off to Australia myself. I hope she had a great flight home!
Thanks Scooby for hooking me up with the totally pawsome SUZI - you are so lucky that you are with her every day.
