Saturday/Fremont Festival of the Arts

[anam_moon]

I had a wonderful time at the Fremont Festival of the Arts on Saturday. Headed over with James to pick up his friend, Liz at around a quarter till ten or so. We were over at the Festival a little after it opened up at ten and aside from it being beastly hot and getting a sunburn on my neck/shoulder area again I had a wonderful time. We must have stopped at virtually every booth. Must have since it wasn't as big as some years and we were there from ten something till just shy of four. I found some very cute little comical animal sculptures to give as gifts and I found a Susan Seddon Boulet switch-plate. I'm not going to use it currently since I already have a lovely Van Gogh Starry Night one up in my room, but I'll need another switch-plate sometime, right? Can't live in my bedroom in my parents' house forever, can I? Someone reassure me that I will someday have a place to call my own and the bills to prove it! =P Anyhoo....really did enjoy getting to see Liz, she moved back to Michigan about four years ago and is out here since her Mother's appendix ruptured last week and needed a No Fun Nazi (Liz's term) to keep her from doing anything she shouldn't. Her Mother's boyfriend wanted his turn taking care of her so that freed Liz up to wander about the Festival with us. We visited every hat vendor there and tried all sorts of fun, absurd and lovely hats. Saw all sorts of lovely art and things that I would have loved to have splurged money on if I had a lot more disposable income.
After sunning ourselves all day with Liz we (James and I) headed back to my house and scooped up my Father (after I fell asleep lying on the floor next to my cat, Jean for about half an hour) and went over to tend kitty cats and swim! Spent about an hour and a half swimming about. Ah. Actually got James into the pool since the hot tub was full of people. I'm so glad we were able to take my Dad swimming. =) After swimming, showering, and visiting with kitties we got in touch with my Mom and agreed to go to the Mexican restaurant that James and I went to last Monday. Met up with Mom at home and after getting a call from Heather we headed over for a late dinner at Casa Robles. It was good, I have come to the conclusion that while not my favorite cuisine that I can find something on the menu and should be willing to go out to Mexican with James every now and again. If for no other reason than to have a little variety in our eating out choices.
