July update-Cornhole game, Bachelorette, Art Fairs



I knew I wasn't going to be good at blogging. Here it is 3 weeks since I've last posted. Anyway-a lot has happened the last several weeks.
We were in Sandusky (again) July 8th for my brother Ron and his girlfriend Donna's "Cornhole game" tournament party. Cornhole is a combination of horseshoes and beanbag toss. It was a lot of fun and I saw a lot of my family. Brad and Brit won the tournament, but my sister Cherie and I won a couple of matches (even though we never played before) and gave Brad and Brit a good game.
July 10-13 Sue and Caitlin Janusz came to stay when Caitlin had U-M Orientation. We had a nice visit and Sue bought me a pretty flower vase as a thank you.
July 15th, we were in Sandusky (big surprise) for Jillian's Bachelorette party and Brit's Bachelor party. They went to the islands for drinks at night, but Caitlin and I just went for the afternoon pool party and gag gifts. It was a fun time, and they all slept in late the next morning.
Last Wednesday-Saturday were the Ann Arbor Art Fairs. There are 4 fairs at the same time throughout the campus and downtown areas. Together, they are the largest outdoor art show in the country with over 1000 vendors! It is extremely competitive to get chosen to exhibit, and there are very few things I can afford. I always enjoy looking, and I can always find something small and fun to buy.
The U-M Center for Organogenesis had a booth with pictures taken from cells and tissues used in various labs' research. I had 2 pictures I submitted chosen to be part of our booth. One of them was chosen to represent the artwork for our booth in the Art Fair program! I called it "Mohawk", but they changed it to "Headdress". I guess they thought some people may find mohawk offensive, but I meant the hair style. I worked at the booth a couple of mornings, and it was exciting to be a part of it all.
Our shed was installed a couple of weeks ago, and Brad has started painting the trim.It looks really nice,and we have lots of our stuff in it. We can now fit both of our cars in the garage-woo hoo! It is still a tight fit, so we will have to keep it clean.
