Having company is just grand, especially now that we have more room because of the re-model. The dining room makes meals so much more enjoyable! My sister, Becky, and her husband, Terry, came up for the weekend and we had such a good visit. Friday night after dinner at "Jocko's" in Nipomo we went to the Clark Center and saw Leon Redbone in concert. I suppose he is an acquired taste, but Bob and I love his easy very old fashioned style. Mostly music from the 30's I would guess. I know our company had never heard of him but they were game enough to join us. Leon has to be 80, if not then he's hugging it close. Bob and I both wanted to hear him sing "Champaign Charlie" and he took requests from the audience so, Yippee! You can decide for your self, thanks to the fabulous internet.
We had planned to go to a day faire called "Remnants of the Past," but Country Living Magazine foiled that. A lovely, for them, four page article caused an influx of people that was not to be believed. After standing in line for the shuttle bus for some time, we starting talking to the people leaving the bus and the general consensus was it was way too crowded to pay $7. a head and be disapointed not be able to see anything. We voted to try in October at the next show and get there at the crack of dawn.
We headed back to the freeway and spent a nice hour browsing around the Windmill Winery and Gift Shop. They were taking advantage of the crowd by having quite a sale and food sampling. So we complied.
It was a great weekend and we are looking forward to the October show. It's always fun to spend time with loved ones who turn out to be good friends.
