We had a very nice weekend. Friday evening we went out to the Savannah Rapids Pavilion for Summertime on the Canal. The event was geared towards family with games for the kids, ice cream, fresh lemonade and some live music. The highlight of the event was the release of the ducks into the Savannah river. First duck under the bridge won $100. Sadly, our duck did not win but we had a great time following the ducks to the bridge. We stuck around for some of the live music, local artists and the occasional singing child, then headed out when it got a little too buggy.
Saturday morning we visited the Market on Broad. I wanted to pick up some fresh veggies for dinner and more fresh squeezed lemonade. We had a sketch of Boogie done by a local artist. She was amazingly still for the 10 minutes it took to draw her and the sketch is really cute. After shopping we looked at a couple of antique stores, were accosted by an Fundamentalist Christian, (that was ever so much fun) and had lunch at Blue Sky Kitchen. The picture of the market really doesn't do it justice. In spite of the heat it was pretty busy but, by the time we got there people were amblin' towards the more shady areas at every opportunity.
Sunday we went into town and returned a defective lawn mower, (If you'd like a list of the purchase failures we've had since our move just ask! You'd be amazed at the additional crap we've been through. Really. The flood was only the first step.) and had lunch at Red Robin. I knit some but spent a great deal of time working on the on-line class I'm taking and, you guessed it, unpacking a moving stuff around.
I'm almost finished with Boogie's ballet bag and should have a pic up this week. Look out for me Wednesday 'cause contest foo is headed your way!
That sounds like a great weekend :)

Looks like a wonderful time at the street market ;) our flea market is a little like that mixed with a scrap yard and a neighborhood garage sale. Sorry to hear about the bad luck with appliances lately :(

That weekend sounds fantastic, especially the part about Red Robin!
I heart that restaurant and they finally put one in B'ham!

The thing (really, the only thing), I miss about the south? The food. Man, do I miss that food.

That sounds like so much fun, even if you did have to return the lawn mower!

Sounds like a good weekend - other than the defective lawn mower. You've had MORE than the lawn mower and the dishwasher?!?? Eek.

Sweet! Good times were overdue for you.
Just to let you know, we missed you yesterday, over brunch, bottomless mimosas, and eventually, cake.
