Busy, But Not Boring

We've been busy this week. There was a fundraising event for The Center For Prevention of Abuse at one of our favorite local bookstores that FuzzyHusband and I attended.There was an open mic where survivors were invited to share anything, so I read a couple of my poems. We won some lovely items from the silent auction and a doorprize as well.

I wish the needle artist would've signed this piece.

Stupid camera didn't rotate.

Lovely doorprize won by FuzzyHusband who gave it to me... after determining that the chain was too small for him. ;-)

Otherwise we've been cleaning, doing chores, and other boring things for most of the rest of the time. Also we're getting down to the wire for Festival of Trees this year. Only 2 more large trees to decorate, possibly 3 if another one gets sponsored. 

I did get to take Mercedes on a long walk and play some Pokemon Go though. She enjoyed herself.

And got some cuddles in with Pixel Pea.

I've got a bunch of laundry that needs doing, so I've got to get off here. 

Yet Another Weekend of Traveling

Another two friends were married this weekend. And again they opted to request we all let the pros do their jobs when it came to photos of the wedding and performances. Yes. Performances.

Because what happens when two beloved performers get hitched, and MANY of their friends are performers in their own right, is a festival atmosphere that includes: Lyra and other aerial acts, dancers, fire spinners, and singers.

The BEST part though was the event was pet friendly, so Mercedes got to go along and make new friends!

Photo credit goes to "Jet's Dad." Jet is an adorable corgi that I was too busy playing with to remember to photograph. Also I was too busy wrangling Mercedes to get my own picture of her. 

Everything was fun and amazing and I hope to have some shareable (with proper credits) photos soon. We'll see what the happy couple's ruling on that is though.

The trip was a great way to cap off a weird week where is snowed. In October. In a place where we're usually going between jeans and shorts this time of year.

That's all for this week! See you next time!

More Travels

Tuesday a friend and I went south to pick up some curio cabinets from my sister. We also did some shopping.

My birthday gift from my in-laws was waiting for me when we got back.

Friday it rained buckets as we drove to Kansas City for a wedding. The event was "cell phone free" so no photos of the gorgeous gown or incredible food.

But I did have some fantastic cheesecake on Saturday. And because I'm stylish, that's a titanium spork.

See you next weekend!
