Yesterdaywas 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).
FridayI 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!
