All right, where in tarnation IS everyone? I'm sure the NY contingent are all out playing together, eating eggs benedict, drinking Manhattans, and galavanting about like gazelles on a Labor Day weekend, because they certainly aren't HERE.
I have been out and about all day. I started the day at the house without the computer that's being house-sat, then I went to my sister's and we went down to Harbor Days, which is an annual festival on Percival Landing, here in Olympia. We just
had to get our Demo burgers (in support of local Democratic candidates) and my sister wanted to buy a hand-made leather purse. It started sprinkling as we got to the place and before we parked, there was a bit more rain raining down (fortunately, I brought my huge golf umbrella). By the time we got the purse and went to the Demo Burger booth, it was a torrential downpour! I was wearing a light (in weight, not color) jacket, my jean shorts and Birkenstocks...and no socks, which makes them very slippery! What was I thinking?? I was soaking wet from the knees down. We got the purse and burgers and at another booth, some delicious home fries made from organic potatoes, and got back to my car. We're both soaked. But the burgers and fries were worth it!
After that, I drove my sister home and I went to my home (next door). I watched a documentary called
In the Realms of the Unreal - The Mystery of Henry Darger. It was quite interesting. After that, my parents came over to my sister's house and we all played Phase 10 and listened to Donna Summer's
Live and More Encore CD.
We had to listen to her English language/disco version of "Con Te Partiro," because we had just listened to Andrea Boccelli and Sarah Brightman's version (in Italian...and not disco). I then came home and now am attempting to catch up before I have to go back to the house that I'm house-sitting (I do hope that I let the cat in the house before I left!). Tonight is the last night. The owners get back tomorrow. That was my day.
