Jocelyn eating lunch in the sculpture garden

I finally got the pictures to download from my iPhone. So here are a bunch from our trip 2 weeks ago, in no particular order. Not that they are that great, but you get the sense of what it was like--really crowded, but with generally pretty agreeable people.

Yesterday, I had intended to leave work a little early, but it ended up being only about 15 minutes early, which was fine. Ray and I had lunch at the National. He didn't go to his office in the morning, but had work-related events in the afternoon.

I went home. Captain and Vanessa were sitting on the porch. He had bought a new chain saw and cut up a lot of wood, so was pretty tired. We all sat for a while; the chickens were out, and the weather was lovely. After they left, I dawdled around a bit, listening to music. I made some mini-whole wheat muffins for the concessions at the play and ate leftovers from the night before.

The play went well; the audience was very enthusiastic. I had email from a couple friends who were there last night and enjoyed it. I was so exhausted I could barely walk. It had taken me three or four circles to find a parking spot by City Hall, so had to walk back there at 10:30 and drive myself home, since Ray had the other car. I was afraid I would just suddenly fall asleep, I was so tired, although not really sleepy. I went to bed pretty soon, after ice cream and cookies of course. I woke up at midnight--someone was listening to George Carlin on TV and it was really loud!! (Ray) Then at 2, Zoe's barking woke me up. Jeez! And then this morning I only slept until about 6. Sigh. But it is a gorgeous morning again and I am looking forward to pilates--almost as good as sleep.

A beautiful day for a rally--a bit claustrophobic for me.

One of my favorite signs: I'm a  Democrat, but I can change if I have to (I guess).

There were a lot of bear references, which I didn't get. Guess I didn't watch the show.
