A Saturday Around Town
Dawnise leaves for S. Africa on Tuesday, so we had a small list of things to take care of today.
We got up this morning and were amongst the first in line at our favorite bakers booth at the farmer's market. We picked up Dawnise's weekly corn cake, a scone, and a fresh blueberry tart. We swung by the vet's office and got food for the diabetic (cat) in the household. From there we had just enough time to get home, drop the car, and walk up the hill to our neighbors place for our homeowners association meeting at 10.
The meeting adjourned around 11 and we walked back home. I made a few phone calls, including to Sarah Albee at Eleven Winery which is conveniently just around the corner from us. We went down to taste the current releases and picked up a mixed case - a few bottles of which are accompanying Dawnise as host(ess) gifts on her travels.
From the winery we went downtown, and picked up a few additional "island made" items for her to bring with, and a couple travel essentials (like "TSA-friendly" luggage locks - don't even get me started) before heading back home and having a bite of late lunch.
This afternoon has been more of the same, interspersed with moments of nervousness and anticipation.
Tomorrow we're thinking of heading to the Puyallup Fair.
