Happy dancing
The breezes just picked up bringing intoxicating coolness pouring through the doors and windows. I am so excited!
Today was the second to final day of a major summer festival that our town puts on every year. Each year more people seem to invade the town to shop/eat/mingle. The stream of cars entering town this evening was simply a sight to behold. I don’t know where they stacked the cars. Tonight was the end-of-the-festival fireworks display and it’s usually pretty impressive.
I think I’d rather have boils than go anywhere near downtown during this week, but I do like a good fireworks display. Fortunately, I live on a hill and the fireworks are clearly visible from my bedroom window. So I’ve just spent the past half hour hanging out my window watching. Maybe the most enjoyable part was just closing my window and walking back downstairs after the show was over. 
Guess you got out of it, eh?
The parade was today, not sure what time, though. Maybe going on right now for all I know. People were already putting their chairs out, staking claims on the edge of the street, on Thursday.
I’ll be glad when it’s all over. It’ll be nice to be able to get from one end of town to the other without a major time investment.
I’m sorry about your skunk encounter last night. (Yay E!) We’ve had only a couple of incidents of it here this summer and I can never smell one now without thinking, “Oh it’s a good thing J isn’t here.” I have never in my life seen anyone have such a violent and instantaneous reaction.

Ahhhhhhhhh, COLD breezes, never mind cool. Was in your part of the world this afternoon and tonight. J asked if I wanted to go up and wander around so off we went. Took the scenic route (Route 1) instead of the highway, had the top down and it was great. Got there and realized what weekend it was. But it was pretty much over, so wandered up one street down the other, debated between the Grog, Agave(sp) and Michael’s for dinner and ended up at Michael’s. (we usually do). Had a couple of terrific Mojitos (if ever you go and want one, ask if Daniella is on the bar and if so, have her make them.....). I was in the mood for something different and they were just what I needed. HA!
Had to put the top UP coming home though, it was damn cold. I love having the humidity gone, but tonight feels too much like September and I am not happy about that at all.
Yes! They never mentioned it. I did feel a little guilty, little. I kinda made up for it tho. GC1 came over for dinner. We played a game and then I took them out for a ice cream before I brought her back to her apartment. We had to put sweat-shirts on lol. Wacky NE weather! no skunks last night, woo hoo!
I don’t get the skunk thing either! I have only ever had one other reaction to a smell like that before. In Norco along the freeway there is a big cow farm and it smells awful. I would have to cover my face until we passed it. Of course it was on the way to get my step daughters every other weekend lol. But at least I knew it was coming!

Oh and last night we were able to open the windows and enjoy the fresh air, until 2AM and I woke up tossing my cookies! Dang skunk. E was up in a flash Shutting windows and fabreez in hand before I knew what was going on lol. Gawd I love that man!
