Art on the Avenue
Cascade Cougar spindle, originally uploaded by weenah3.
I volunteered on Ravelry to help Knit-A-Gogo by providing a spinning on a drop spindle demo today at Art on the Avenue. I spun for two hours, got slightly sunburned, and had a great time. My friend, DJ, lives just up the street and he kept me company for about 45 minutes before he met up with a few friends. When we finished at 1:00 PM, I met up with him and the friends for lunch. We had crabcake sandwiches (YUMMY) while sitting on the curb outside our favorite bar. This lovely dog (all 102 pounds of him) was sitting next to us and even came over to say hi. He was beautiful.
We walked back up the avenue where husband picked me up. I came home and took a nap. I was tired.
Breakfastable
Yesterday morning I had a “doctor’s appointment.” At least that is why I went into work late…
In reality, my aunt was in town and we met for breakfast at Café Promenade at the Mayflower Hotel. This was the second time I had eaten there (the first being almost five years ago when I broke down sobbing with my then boss because I hated my job). My aunt and I have both experienced a lot of job related crap over the last two years. It has been a real blessing to commiserate with her, as my parents do not have corporate jobs (Mom is a teacher and Dad runs his own commercial drywall). It is heartening (& disheartening too) to hear about her dysfunctional workplace.
