Maple Fest

I guess the advantage of living in small town area is the fun festivals.  There are tons, everyone wants something to do and there seems to be a fair or festival almost every week end.  This week end was the Maple Fest in Franklinville.  It couldn't have been a better day for it, the  first real day of warmth and sunshine.  I actually got a bit of sun burn....
We got there just in time to see the parade... led by the military and Shriners.  I loved watched all the little league teams in their shirts and the girl and boy scouts.  The Maple Princess and her court could have been highlighted better, but it was fun.  Watching the Shriners in their mini cars showing off the tricks, driving in and out of a figure 8 and a couple other fancy moves. 
We walked through all the vendor booths and checked out the competition, thinking this might be a venue where I could make some money and have fun doing it. 
After a nice nap, we headed to Home Depot and Wal-Mart, before enjoying a nice dinner out.  I was able to buy two lamps that I want for the house, and get some ideas for some shelving units.   I would like to buy some outdoor furniture, but I'm afraid that is going to have to wait until I get some sales behind me. 

Today I need to work on breaking down the boxes that I've sent to the basement this week and think about moving the storage around because it isn't going to function well the way it is right now.  I'm pretty sure that is more than an all day job, and with the weather finally warming up, I'm going to be wanting to spend more time outside, so I need to finish the basement quickly and allow myself time to start on planning the yards and getting things done outside.
I think the office area is as far as I can get it right now until I can move it to the location it is going to stay in, so I need to get more of the art room finished and get more of those boxes empty. 
So today I'm setting the timer for an hour... work an hour, rest an hour.  Thank heaven for Netflix
