We have electricity!

Alrighty now! We finally got electricity this afternoon.
It's not like we suffered, because we do have a generator,
but its an inconvenience just the same. I'm still happy to
feel a little more "normal".
I put the pictures of Harborfest on my Flickr . Even got
the sequence in the right order. I discovered something
new today, but I won't explain it cause you all probably
know about uploading pics anyway.

Saturday....
It was a little cool and foggy in the morning. But that was
all right, it made for a perfect day when the sun did come out.
There were quite a few people there first thing. They had
tours of the lighthouse.

The large stage where music played all afternoon and
evening. First thing they did was have the local Dance Studio
girls do a recital for us. Lots of fun to watch and most of the
girls were pretty good. Once they got over their stage
fright that is.

Some more pictures of the boat racers. It looks like a pretty

exhausting job. They don't get much time to practice, cause

the boats get there just before the festival. So whatever

conditioning they do has to be done in the gym. You could

tell who was fit and who wasn't! I'd have probably croaked!

A Day at Harborfest

Only have time to show one picture of the Dragon Boat

races on the river. We had terrible storms come

through here early Friday morning and evening.

Winds were clocked at 60 mph and lightning strikes

at the rate of 2000 an hour. That was a lot of lightning..

looked like strobe lights. Needless to say large trees

were downed and electric poles snapped in half.

We are running the generator, so we have to turn off

the air to run the computer. And wouldn't you know it,

its humid and in the 80's now. Only sounds bad to me,

cause we have had very cool temps up till today.

I need air, more than the computer...such a sissy.

Anyway Kayla and I made a day of walking

around the river and going in the downtown stores.

So I'll have more on Harborfest later.

Harbor Festival

It's the first festival of the season for our
town. Harborfest starts tomorrow. Dragon
boat races, foodfest, music all day and into
the night. And with bands like Tin Can Phone,
Twilight Hotel, Saturday June Band and
blues bands like Jordan Lunardini and
Ronnie Baker Brooks and last but not least
Ronnie McDowell how can you not have a
good time on the waterfront? Seriously,
I haven't got a clue who these people are,
but sometimes we get pleasantly surprised
once they get to playing.
They have a craft fair along the river too.
Beverly and I did it a couple of years, but
we found out that its hard for people to carry
money in their bathing suits, so sales were
very poor. Then one year we had our
booth right under the helicopter landing pad
and when they arrived our booth decided
to leave...lol! We were so upset! Anyhoo,
no pictures to show, but maybe when Kayla
and I go on Saturday I'll take the camera with
me. I've been making some pieces of jewelry,
but its been pretty cloudy the last couple of
days. Not good for my pictures.
