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.

Monday, Monday




Yesterday we had some stormy weather, the kind of thunderstorms
that I like. They just blow up out of nowhere. I like to lay in the grass
and watch the clouds explode into giant mushrooms. Then when the
lightning strikes too close I get up and run for cover. One of these days
I might not be so lucky as to not be hit by one of them. I feel like I
dodge a bullet every once in a while.
But today is absolutely gorgeous! There is zero humidity and the breeze
is almost too cool. SHUT UP! I didn't just say that did I? Anyway,
the windows are opened and the house is airing out.
Love it, love it, love it!
Bailey got to play outside for a while yesterday. I think she is gonna
need an exercise program after she recovers. She looks like she's
just about ready to stick an apple in her mouth. Part of that is because
she is in desperate need of a grooming.

Since it is so beautiful outside I took pictures of these pieces that
I purchased from Chinook Jewelry. I had money that I put aside
from the B and B. I had made up my mind I was gonna get these
before I went to the show, and I forgot my list of vendors that
I wanted to get to look at...that worked out just fine because these
are just beautiful. Mellisa ships really fast too. Thank you!
My favorites are the seashell buttons, and the music sheets, and the
puppy paws, and.....;^O , oh all of them are great.
I'm off to enjoy the day. Hope you all have a great one too!
