49 days of happiness and counting . . .

first off, kidlet and i headed for a local arts festival.  the hokey type i grew up with and adore.  lots of tents with homemade arts and crafts, popcorn wagons, live music featuring elementary and middle school kids that light you up with their off keys tunes, face painting and food trucks.  we made the circuit and then headed out.  it's still really hot.  yay for the home team!!!!

but before i forget, last night i applied my first jamberry nails.  it seems that along with the wisdom of old age, come weak finger nails and crepe necks.  can't do anything about my chicken neck except to wink at the occasionally decrepit old rooster wandering by but look at these little babies:

ok, so there is a little trial and error to consider, i had to redo a couple, and kidlet helped me cut off the excess on my right hand because my scissors had a terrible case of 'we only cut in one direction', but all in all, i love my jamberries and hope they really do last ten days to three weeks.
