Happy Monday,
To my blog friends in Canada, Happy Thanksgiving!
After my son's wedding, my hubby's sister and her husband from Florida stayed at our house for a few days. We had fun showing our neighborhood to our BIL. We all went on a few walks with the dogs on the local fire roads. Also we all met up with hubby's cousin who lives in Baltimore, we all had fun walking around the Baltimore Harbor and the Federal Hill neighborhood. Lunch at Nick's Seafood Restaurant was delicious, Crab Cakes in Maryland are the best.
The Prettyboy Dam and reservoir, Gunpowder River, Lake views with Nibble and Chewy.

Mosaic of Baltimore, the Harbor, Oriole baseball stadium, Baltimore National Aquarium, Flag, Federal Hill Neighborhood, Raven's Ray Lewis sculpture, Raven's football stadium, harbor.
Baltimore's Harbor, it is nice to see new buildings being built. Seeing the cranes is a good sign.
Baltimore's Federal Hill flag, the Federal Hill provided a panoramic view during the War of 1812. This flag is the 13 star Colonial Flag. The Betsy Ross Flag has the stars in a circle.
Please check out and visit the following memes and links. I hope to see you there.

Happy new week!

Happy Thanksgiving to Canada! The dogs must love those wonderful walks☺
Amazing views. Great pics.
Happy Thanksgiving. Greetings
You should send these pictures of Baltimore to Donald Trump and invite him to accompany you on a walk through this rat-infested hell hole, maybe invite Elijah Cummings to come along too.
Hi David, we did not see any rats and surprisingly no trash! We walked 3 miles around the harbor area. Thanks for the comment. enjoy your day!
Lovely photos from your corner of the world Eileen.
Hello Eileen,
The Prettyboy Dam is very impressive.
It's always nice when your family comes to visit!
Are these your dogs? They are pretty cute ... I am a cat women! :)
Have a great week!
Hello Ella, no they are not my dogs. They belong to my son, we are dog-sitting. Thanks for the comment and enjoy your day!

Port cities everywhere are starting to refurbish their rundown, waterside areas... and transfroming them into premium (non-affordable) dez-rez suburbs. Love those dam and woods images! YAM xx
We were so busy I missed Saturday's Critters!
Well, Eileen, the 'holiday' is today. Everything is closed. The kids have to do Thanksgiving at their house on Sunday, as that is when Caitlin's brother-in-law is off work. JL's mom is staying with them during the election to help out.
Hello Yam, you are right on the non-affordable. The condo and apartments in this harbor area are non-affordable, except for the 1%. Thanks for the comment and visit. Have a great day!
I hope you had a great holiday dinner with your family! Thanks for the comment.
...beautiful scenes Eileen.
Lovely shots.
Hugs to those sweep pups
I love them all but especially the mosaic of Baltimore. I've always wanted to visit there.
Hello Eileen,
you surely enjoyed your family and the company of the puppies.
Thanks for sharing the views of Baltimore.
Have a nice week!
Thank you, Rupam! Enjoy your day!
Thank you Natalia! Yes, the dogs do love the walks! Have a great day!
Thank you Chica!
Thank you Marit! Enjoy your day!

Thanks Tom! Have a great day!
Thanks Mac! Enjoy your day!
Thanks Jeanie! Have a great day!
Thank you Luisella! I hope your day is great!
the flag is beautiful, so is the Pretty Boy dam, really pretty. ha ha on the name. I know there is a story there. you know my most favorite are the pups walking. so glad they did not have to stay in a jail and got to come to visit
You do have a lovely "neighborhood!' We visited a very, very long time time ago when my uncle worked at the University of Maryland and we were stationed at Ft. Belvoir. I'm sure it has all changed but it is really beautiful!
I Love The Damn Photo And Appreciate The Dog Walk
Cheers
Sandra, I think the pups are happy to be here. It is like a vacation for them. Thanks for the comment.
I hope your day is great!
Ditto, thanks for visiting my blog. Enjoy your day!
So your good times continues well after the wedding, Eileen! Thanks for the Thanksgiving wishes.
Hello, yes, I am sure there were lots of changes. Thanks for the visit and comment. Enjoy your day!
Thanks for the visit and comment. Have a great day!
Beautiful sights, it's great to show those to relatives. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Finland but wish you a happy one!
Hello Eileen,
You will see beautiful series of photos and collages.
A Happy Thanksgiving for you too.
Best regards, Irma
From the photos and beautiful scenery, I can see that you live in a beautiful place. I love walks too but I no longer have a dog to take on my walks.
Interesting post, Eileen. Happiness to your son and bride

Lovely Dam and a great name, ditto for the doggies. It would have been a super time together. and out and about showing your beautiful area, then the harbour with lovely big boats tied up with building going on behind .
Happy Canada day too. That's a beautiful dam, I hope that people don't live there?
Your son's wedding looked lovely! Congratulations to the new couple and much joy and love forever! Baltimore Harbor is an interesting place to visit-- we often stopped there on drives down when my son went to college in Washington DC. Keep enjoying the beautiful autumn weather!
It's fun to get out with family from out of town to show things off! What wonderful mosaics for MM! Hugs!
It's always fun to show off your area to out of town guests.
Beautiful photos, Eileen. I cracked up reading the dogs names, they are funny.
Enjoy the new week.
Looks like you had a very busy but enjoyable visit from your relatives. Happy Thanksgiving day.
Your family must have loved this tour and Nibbles and Chewy their walk. Great photos Eileen and have a great week :)
Your 'world' is lovely ~ and wonderful photos of the area and great time with your family visiting ^_^ Love crabcakes ^_^ They gotta be good from Maryland ~
Happy Day to You,

So nice to spend time with family, I enjoyed your photographs.
All the best Jan
....lovely photos. And how ARE the newlyweds doing?
Sounds like a enjoyable time with your relatives.
Nice to see the Baltimore pictures. It's been a while since we've walked around town there.
I’ve never seen photos of Baltimore. Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful photos and nice that you all had a good visit. I do miss living in Maryland at times and yes, their crab cakes are the best.
It sound like a good time all the way around!
Congratulations to your son's wedding! What a fun event that must have been.
Worth a Thousand Words
What lovely shots and a great visit.
I think I know how happy you were sharing the sites and trails you love with your relatives from out of town. I really love the name, Nibbles and Chewy. Wish you a lovely week.

Visiting with family is what makes life wonderful
Eileen - it's always a joy to show off our favorite places to family members - a reminder of all of our blessings. Appropriate for Canadian Thanksgiving! And I am grateful that you linked up to Mosaic Monday once again!
Hi Eileen!
Underbart att få visa upp så vackra omgivningar för besökare, förstår att ni hade en trevlig tid tillsammans. Jag vet att du uppskattar naturen och delar med dig av kunskapen till dina gäster.
Ha det så gott!
That's an unusual name for a dam! I wonder where that came from, perhaps because it is far from pretty? Sounds and looks like a lovely family day out, complete with Nibbles and Chewy.
it is not always easy to have overnight guests, i'm glad you enjoyed it!!! it is also fun to show off your area to friends and family!!
the damn and reservoir are quite beautiful and i really like the picture of the flag!!
So beautiful pictures
I like the big Water Dam
Its really pretty there I can see some nice color coming into those trees! The harbor looks really nice.
great dam....
lovely family gathering....
thank you for sharing beautiful photos
You live in a beautiful area with lots of history! My son and GF visit Deep Creek Lake and family and until then I haven't "seen" much of Maryland - it's beautiful!
Glad you had fun showing and going around the neighbourhood and Baltimore with your in-laws! Beautiful photos and the Prettyboy dam looks great with water gushing out the shutter. The Baltimore city has wonderful architectures!
Sounds like a lovely time! And, yes, crab cakes in MD are the BEST.
Beautiful shots, Eileen!

Hello Phil, years ago the watershed and reservoir was farm land. The dam was created in 1933. The reservoir and dam are named after a horse, a white colt named Prettyboy. It is a sad story, the horse died in a nearby flooding stream! Thanks for the visit and comment.
