Village Visit

Last week Mimi and I went to visit a friend of ours who lives in a village on the outskirts of town, near the river. Here's a picture of my friend taking Mimi for a walk. It was really cold (no heat in the village, and the electrical wires won't support electric heat), so that's why Mimi is wearing two layers of clothes, a dress and a pullover sweater, to stay warm. Village life is WAY different than city life. You have to be tough to live in a village. Next is another village photo taken from inside the house. My friend adores my dog, and has taken care of Mimi when I had to be out of town. Unfortunately, without a heater or air-conditioner in their village home, Mimi can't stay with her during the middle of winter or the middle of summer. Mimi, and I, are not quite tough enough for that!
