Day 25: Dogs on a Blue Background

Here are my socks of the day. *fanfare* Today we are coming down off of the Mountain…and it looks like I might be driving. eek.

Yesterday we went back over to the Craft Faire for the last couple of hours to help out. After we dealt with the burying of Spock’s ashes…and the great Frisbee hunt. It turns out that Frisbee ended up under the bed in KoshVader’s old room. I guess I didn’t shut the door well enough. Sigh. KoshVader found him, and I played He-Woman and lifted up the bed so we could remove him. The frame is a bit smaller in the front, you see. Witness my mightiness!

Anyway, after we made sure that Frisbee was in the bathroom with all of his stuff we drove into town. I admit that I finally gave in and bought two bowls at the pottery booth next to my Mother-in-Law’s table. They were white with blue bands. Perfect for cereal. Hey. They were only $9 each. I couldn’t just buy one. There were only two, and I didn’t want the other to get lonely. Besides, this way my sweetie and I can match at breakfast.

Wow. I have serious powers of rationalization. Be afraid.

After I bought the bowls, we wandered around Groveland for a bit, and KoshVader encountered a picture of someone that he has known since second grade. The gentleman in question sells real estate in the area, so his picture is on the Real Estate ads. It’s just weird seeing someone all grown up after not having seen them for a while. Once we were done with the reality check we headed back and helped out KoshVader’s Mum until closing time.

And then…we went to dinner. In Modesto.

But the most important thing about yesterday is KoshVader’s epiphany. The booth across from our table at the Craft Faire was selling photographs. Framed, just matted, and cards. And he thought ‘I can do that.’ (psst. I’ve been waiting years for him to realise this.) I have to say, I agree with him. His current job is really stressing him out a lot, and I can see him starting a little side thing to make a bit of cash. With any luck…it could be something more. You’ve seen what he can do with our 4 megapixel point and shoot camera. If my scanner was working I’d show you some of his work with the 35mm. So, in the interest of keeping my sweetie alive and sane, I’m going to get him a good camera. Plus, this way, he won’t keep running off with mine. Yes, there is method to my madness.

Well, I need to start packing up. More when I get home.
