Something other than us being sick & tired...


Saturday morning we loaded up the munchkin and her auntie Ro and went to the Art Fair. We have avoided the fair for the last couple years because it is a little annoying to have 30,000 people invade our town in their tank tops and flip flops and meander aimlessly seemingly trying to get in my way. To be honest, when we did go all the time back in the day we really just stayed on the outskirts people watching and drinking way too much at sidewalk cafes so...

But we had a good time and even bought some art (wow!). We bought a photo that is currently in our living room, though it may end up elsewhere. It is nice. Robin bought a beautiful picture of a solitary tree for Michele... something about "your the tree, and the snow is...". Needless to say they were both crying before the whole thing was over. It was quite sweet (which did not stop me from poking fun). We also bought, amongst many little purchases, an adorable little handmade poncho for Alex that she will hate and we will love.

We had a good time even though we got rained on a good deal. As ever when in public, strangers thought it appropriate to talk to me. "She's adorable", "doesn't she look like daddy?". Always older ladies. If I had a picture of me, red faced, smiling uncomfortably, nodding like an idiot, I would add it **here**.

Michele is getting sized up for radiation this morning so hopefully she can post tonight about that experience.
