dodging raindrops

This weekend was one of running through raindrops to get to special events.  Yesterday, two friends and I attended the Korean Festival at the public library.  Thankfully, because of the rainy weather, most of the events and presentations had been moved inside. The highlight was the dance competition. Young people danced to popular K-Pop music and were judged on their performances.  My youngest granddaughter was one of the dancers and, while she didn't place in the top three, she really did very well. Today, after a very well attended picnic at our church, which was wisely moved inside, I passed on playing in the adult size bounce house.  Instead, a friend and I drove out to see MamaJo, the hugh new drill (1 1/2 football fields long) that will soon be lowered deep under the city to drill a 5-mile long tunnel to carry away sewage and keep it out of the rivers.  Sadly, the line was very long and the air quite chilly so we didn't see MamaJo.  Instead we opted to go out to the art fair at Jefferson Point.  There were supposed to be 40 vendors selling their art but many had packed up early because of the weather.  We ended the afternoon drinking hot chocolate at DeBrands.  Actually, not a bad way to end the weekend.
