Art Fair on the Square

We went to Madison this morning to drive around the campus, try to see Laura Brager, have some Babcock Hall UW ice cream, buy some bagels, and check out the Farmer's Market and Art Fair. We didn't see Laura or the Farmer's Market, but had a good time with the rest. It was very, very hot so we did the Art Fair in two parts. Art, ice cream and bagels, and art. There was much to see, very expensive, but cool.

Lemonade, smoothies, gyros, you name it!

Madison, people, sun, and art

Burl bowls and art

I liked this bench-1300 dollars

This artist had fun paintings of all sports, etc.

Hmmm, a little crazy huh?

Happy Birthday Peter!

Happy Birthday July 8th. You are almost OLD!

Our first stop-The Farmer's Market

We traveled to Athens, Ohio over the 4th of July to visit daughter Jesse and Eric. Hot weather, great food, and fun to see Jesse so happy and content.
Moving to town has proven to be a good thing for work, dogs, and good times. Shopping at the Import House, eating and touring at Jackie O's Brew Pub, and hanging out on the upstairs porch was relaxing and a wonderful get a way. Today, back to 5 year olds, making turtle tambourines (it was letter Tt day!) and getting the wireless at home at last!

Farmer's Market Goodies at the Athen's Market

Delicious sweet corn, Georgia peaches, hot peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, and lodi apples that made the great pie!

Lunch at Jackie O's

Hand carved handles and beautiful tables at the Brew Pub

The menu

Not named after the Kennedy family, but it is Jackie O's

You would have fun here Jon and Emily!

The Apple Pie

Jesse and I made pie one afternoon. She cut and prepared the fruit while I made and rolled out the dough. Mmmm good!
