Chevy Chase Day

The weather was perfect and the streets were full when Charlotte and I drove up to Bread and Chocolate about 11:30. We waited on the bench in front for Anja and Ella to arrive on foot and then grabbed the table in front of the window with my paintings to hang out for the afternoon. The artist whose work was in the other window, Ruth Marcus, showed up a few minutes after us, so we invited her to join us. We had a lovely lunch and chatted with each other and a lot of different people as they sort of drifted by. We took turns leaving to check out the other displays and sidewalk sale items. Anja, Ella and Charlotte left about 2 to catch the special appearance of Amelia Bedelia at the library and they stopped by afterwards, on their way to the park for the parade, moon bounces, and other kid things, to report that she had been wonderfully funny, making a "keyboard" out of a board and (house and car) keys, etc. I went over about four to join them at the park and Charlotte drove home with me about 4:30. The Goofy One never made it at all, as he was still sick. He's still not feeling well enough to go to work today.

Today I will take the display down and get copies made of the flyer for next week-end's block party and take them around ours and the surrounding blocks. Just one big event after another around here lately!
