Yesterday was the 4th. Lots of fireworks here in my neighborhood. I personally don’t care too much for fireworks. Being able to watch from my back window, looking over the trees to the next street over to watch the various rockets and lights was fine. The Demon Duo watched out the window for a short time also but ultimately retreated to the sofa with me. I don’t think they were impressed.
Saturday Ellen and I went to Rockport – a small seaside town about 120 miles down the coast from here. For a number of years now, every July, they host a huge Art Festival. It’s a two-day juried art show and is held at a beach-side park. It’s very popular.
The set-up is four huge tents around the grounds in a big
square. Each tent has space for 20-25
artists. Then, in the middle of square
is another huge tent with tables, chairs, food vendors, music and, most
importantly, air conditioning. Because,
let me tell you it was hot. Hotter than
normal hot –
Okay, maybe not that hot but - - hot.
The festival showcases every type of art –
painters,
photographers,
jewelry design,
wood artists,
potters,
glass artists,
metal artists
multi-media
It’s a very good show but you need to go early or late because July in
TX is hot (see above).
Friday
I stayed home all day waiting, waiting, waiting –
My new sofa arrived! Finally! I feel like I have a living room.
And, Thursday
– I went to the dentist. Just for a
cleaning however I have a cracked tooth that really needs a crown before, gods
forbid, this happens . . .
So, a crown is in the "coming soon" category. Ugh.
Guess that’s all for now – stay cool out there!
Ugh Crowns! I had one fall off during Pandemic, luckily I didn't swallow it and could keep it until Dentist's reopened again and they glued it back on. The other Crown that cracked had to be replaced, very expensive! I had 3 Dental Emergencies, all expensive, during Pandemic, including having a Molar just pulled since I couldn't afford the Root Canal nor the thought of even having one. I wish you luck with the Crown, mine at least lasted 30+ Years before it fell off.
ReplyDeleteThe craft show sounds great! I haven't been to anything like that in years. Glad your sofa arrived - picture please!
ReplyDeleteUgh - I hate having dental work done. I hope yours goes well!
That art festival sounds fantastic! I love events like that. But, wait a minute, no photo of your new sofa? Inquiring minds want to know!
ReplyDeleteI like festivals, country shows etc. Looks like there were some lovely exhibits. I wish we had some hotter weather here in the UK!
ReplyDeleteour weather here has been so much cooler than normal...we haven't hit 100 yet. Or even high 90's but damn the humidity is horrendous..
