Summer and the Art Fair

Greetings to all.. this hot summer weather has finally given us a break with temps to in the 80's and a break with the humidity! I just returned from the Ann Arbor art fair with my friends Della and Linda. We drove down Tuesday and stooped at some quilt shops on the way down. The Art Fair started on Wednesday and ran thru Saturday. For those who have never attended it is a great event...actually 5 or 6 different art fairs that take over the Ann Arbor streets. We spent Wednesday struggling with the heat and humidity but still managed to spend some money and get some treasures. The vegetable(ceramic) that I added to my wall in the picture was the broccoli on the bottom left. It is always so hard to choose just one but I am running out of space! We returned on Thursday after a quick spin thru several areas to take a second look at things or make final decisions. Great fun, great food and great friends to share the experience. Ann Arbor always has lots to look at...the guy is the picture was the "Violin Monster" He played very well and seemed to be doing well with $ in his case. Always something new.

Della came out to the cabin the week before to kayak and have fun on the river. We ate, talked and laughed...a great time as usual with a great friend.

Mike was in Montana and Idaho for the last week fishing with two friends. He called with fish updates and promises some pictures that I can post of all the big ones that did not get away. Sounds like they had a great time so stay tuned for the proof!

We are back home and getting back to normal...whatever that is! The next big event is the baby shower for the new Nolan Gnome and then the big event on Sept 24th. Hoping the rest of the summer weather is not so very very hot...all days like today would be wonderful.
