Staunton Jams

Saturday May 17th, downtown Staunton hosts the
Staunton Jams, a series of bands that play in the street
in front of Baja Bean Restaurant. This concert series starts
at noon and goes on till late into the night. After I closed up
the store, I went have to feed Elfie, get him settled in and have
a glass of wine and a little snack before I headed down to hear
the Findells play at 8. I have hit a button that is changing my
font, sorry for that, have no idea what I have done. Anyway,
here are a few pictures of my house and yard that I took on my 
way downtown.

I had to sneak in a few pictures of the Iris and the Peonies, they are amazing!

I took pictures of all the pretty architecture I see as I walk the block to downtown and made
it to the stage and the concert with the Findells.

The lead female singer in the band is Sera Petras, she has an amazing voice and is
also the photographer that took my pictures I use on my websites, etc. I love all the
young girls that came down to dance in the street. I also snuck in a picture of my friends
apartment in the beautiful Marquis building, I will be up there to post more pictures of
a more birds eye view of downtown.

Really fun night, glad I went downtown for great music and hanging out with friends. Love
this great little town.

Snow Days, Are We Done Yet?

How many days till Spring?
I dug my way out of the house yesterday to come
down and dig out the sidewalk in front of my store
and The SPACE. I walked down with a neighbor, ran
into another friend walking his dog and called a friend,
client and board member to come and help shovel. We
discussed using some furniture from my store in the SPACE,
looked at fabric samples for her living room, not a bad snow
day!

I need to invest in a good pair of snow boots. My car is stuck behind my house
and it will be Sunday before it makes it out of the driveway. I have items to deliver
to the UPS store. Any way, yesterday afternoon, a friend came by the store, and we
drove around town looking at the damage. We put his car in the garage downtown and
started walking to fine something open, we ended up at Baja Bean and spent the afternoon
eating salsa, guacamole and chips, drinking margaritas and shots of tequila. After that we
ended at Zynoda for wine and dirty Martini's.

Today is another story, the storm that almost completely shut down the
city of Staunton, has passed. Now we are in a melting mess. What a
difference a day makes. Back to work and reality. Happy Valentines
Day everyone!

A plus to all those people who posted great snow pictures on Facebook!
