Tuesday, all day long…

and I am stuck here waiting to see if management comes to check out my back door and the hallway.  Of course I have been waiting since August 25 and no one has shown up yet.  I did call and remind them yesterday so I will have to stick around here this morning to see if anyone shows up.  I am not holding my breath though.
Sunday afternoon at the Marigold Festival was nice.  There were so many booths we couldn’t check them out.  We had to park some distance away and walk to the park.  After a couple of hours I was pooped and I had to beg my daughter to bring me home.  I did manage to take a few pictures and get a gift for my sister which I hope fits.

This is a shot of the lagoon which is at the park where the festival was held.  That is the Miller Senior Citizen’s Building in the background.

And even though my Cardinals are not doing so great now, this was my favorite booth at the festival.  If I still had my own home I would have purchased this.

There were so many tents/booths that we couldn’t look at them all.  I would have loved one of those pictures.  Lots and lots of Halloween stuff there.

Just to give you a general idea.  There were over 300 booths/tents there.

Sweatshirts of all kinds to be found, ranging in price from $10 to $50.  The ones I found that I liked were not in my size.

Another picture of the lagoon.  There is a walkway around the lagoon and many people go there every day to walk for exercise.  In fact, after all of that walking my daughter and I did in the afternoon, she and my SIL went out there in the evening and walked several times around the lagoon for exercise.  I don’t know how this came to be called a lagoon but that is what the local folks call it.
It was a very nice afternoon.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.

  2. I would have really enjoyed the day had it been possible to be there. It reminds me of the time I went to the nature park for the Hummingbird Festival. All kinds of things to look at as well as the banding of the birds and things to buy and a GOOD long walk. Know what you mean.

  6. Besides being a beautiful day, it sounds like you had a nice time with your daughter. I like looking at much of the same things you do, but rarely buy. Too much stuff already! Thanks for sharing all your pictures.

  13. What a beautiful place to hold the event. I love going thru all those kind of booths. I rarely buy anything just love looking. Don't have many things like that here where I live, but in the winter in California there are some great outdoor events like this with lots of booths and things to see. I mostly like people watching. Don't see many here in my neck of the woods. Take Care
