February 2nd~

The essence of pleasure is spontaneity...

My sister Rima has her birthday in February.  Last
 year her birthday trip was to NOLA.  Seems like she/they 
fell in love with New Orleans, and plans on painting the
 town red again.  In the meantime, we are enjoying some
 quiet time today.  Miss my mom and dad.  It had become 
customary to have Sunday outing/dinner with them.


The first night of ArtFest was at sunset.  It was another beautiful 
evening, though not all the vendors were ready we did enjoy ourselves.


Day two of ArtFest was hot, but we bravely endured.
  Some were not so fortunate and needed a little medical 
assistance from heat exhaustion.  Always something.


Arvid and I made sure we were dressed for the sun.  Long 
sleeves and hats/cap for both of us.  Arvid has become super 
vigilant of the heat.  He takes every precaution necessary 👏


It was a very good day.  Turned out completely
 different than what we had in mind.  Loved it.


These spontaneous times are best.  Unplanned and so much fun.


Sniff is relaxing on his heating bed.  Arvid watching soccer.  All 
is good right now.  M15 and F23 are alive and still fighting off the 
symptoms of the bird flu.  Not in the clear as yet but hope is there.


Focus on the positive: Look for good news, 
inspirational quotes, or uplifting music...
