I'm posting a video below, but for you folks on dialup, I'll say a bit about what you're missing first.
I was asked by the Coordinator of 4C Camp for Adults to staff the Camp's table at Fair on the Square last evening. Turns out that somebody had volunteered, but more is better, so I stayed since I was there.
Fair on the Square is held every Friday in July from 5 to 9 pm. The Community Chorus sings at 6 and a band plays from 7 til closing. Last night was some kind of Irish band so I didn't mind leaving at 7:30--I had plans. Next week Donna and I are signed up, and I think we get a blues band. I hope the booth is close enough, or that the band plays louder than the Irishmen did yesterday.
If you live or have lived in a small down this will probably look familiar. The volunteer fire department is grilling burgers to raise funds and venders rent their space for 20 buck a night. You have the basic idea by now, sooooo
In other news: We need rain as much as most of the country does. We're not in serious drought yet, just abnormally dry. The water table hasn't gone down much since the hurricane last September, so watering the garden isn't an issue. Unfortunately, the midsection of the country where most of the food is grown is really hurting. Hopefully they will get rain soon too--before it's too late for what's left of the harvest.
I took the camper in for service on Tuesday or Wednesday and it was finally ready today. The shop is right across the street, so the guy parked it in the driveway this morning. Bearings are repacked and he upgraded the hub with a grease fitting. So it's a DIY job for me now. It passed inspection, the tires look good so I'm confident in her roadworthyness now. Hopefully we can get to a real campground before 4C Camp for Adults on 9 August, but even if we only go that far it will be a safe trip.
I have one more afternoon of splitting wood and that will be done finally! Then I have to reglaze the large windows on the house and do a bit of painting and the construction on the exterior will be complete! I should have a month or two of summer left to do what I want.... LOL probably nap on the camper under the FAN-tastic ceiling fan!
Sounds like a plan, huh? Happy summer!
