Palo Alto Festival

Yesterday was a working day. Lou and Dawn making copies of her text books, 11x17 copies. I did some more dig out for the sidewalk.

On the way to our adventure for the day, today, we were witness to a person adding graffiti to the Whole Foods Market wall. It was nice to attempt to do the right thing but futile. Too bad. More information here.

We went over to the Palo Alto Wine and Art Festival. This is one of the nicest such festivals in the bay area. It was even better this year because there were actually a lot of new creative artists showing their stuff this year. It had been stagnating.

Al Fabrizio and Hugo Wainzinger
Above left, some of the art was rather large. Above right, Al Fabrizio (mandolin), Hugo Wainzinger (guitar and arrangements) played romantic Italian favorites near the sidewalk painting area. I could have listened to their music all day. Click here to listen to the group. The music groups were numerous and very good. It was hard to decide who to listen to. All of this on a perfect day, weather just right.

We then went shopping for a new TV for Dawn. We seem to have found it at Costco.

The evening was a cooking evening. We were all in the kitchen working. Dawn preparing some peaches for blintzes, Lou cooking the blintzes, and me preparing dough for a nice rhubarb pie and tarts and some meat pies for tomorrow. What fun!
