Last night Christa and I took Monty to the patio at AJ’s (the old Xhedos) in downtown Ferndale to get some ice cream and meet up with Bob, Chris Rohn, and his wife.

While we are sitting there, a little girl with her parents noticed Monty and kept coming over to stand next to him. She was shy and basically just wanted to come stand by him and stare. Her Dad kept encouraging her to say hello to the dog and pet him, but she wouldn’t have it.

As we walked away, Chris asked us if we knew who the little girl’s father was. I didn’t. He told us it was Derrick May.

I love Ferndale.
