A Fun Weekend with Some Chores "Thrown In"!

Saturday, was a day filled with "fun things" and some necessary chores.  It was a cool morning when we got up at 7:30 with temperatures in the low 50's and extremely windy!  Because of the gusts, we decided pickleball was not an option.  So, left at 9 and drove to downtown Venice to go to the Saturday morning Farmer's Market.  Not sure if it was because of the weather or maybe the market hasn't started for the season, but it wasn't there.  But, to our surprise there was a wonderful craft and art show on the main street.  We had so much fun checking out the talented crafters and artists and their willingness to talk so easily about their work.  The famous sculptor, Mauro Pozzobonelli, was fascinating and his work amazing.  He can spend up to 8+ months designing a "drawing" in sand negatively, then pouring a kind of cement to make it a positive plague or picture, and then painting it.  The designs are so detailed. 

Here we are with Mauro Pozzobonelli and his
beautiful artwork.  Positively amazing and such
a nice gentleman!

Some interesting metal work!

We lost the "boys" for a few minutes at the art show
and this is where we found them.  Relaxing in the
swinging chairs.  The chairs had  movable head and
foot rests and a side table for drinks.  Very fancy!

A very large art and craft show!

 

These swinging chairs on a metal framework were
extremely comfortable.  We just couldn't figure out
how we would transport them in our Motorhomes!

Of course, we had to stop to have another delicious scone with cream at the Upper Crust. You have to try one to believe how good they really are!

We had planned to take a walk along Venice Beach, but it got too late and it was too windy, so we went back to the CG by 11:30.  We decided to meet again after dinner, since all of us had some necessary chores to do.  Ken and I went to the laundry (it was only our 2nd time since we left home and it was a necessity!) and had plenty of wash to do.  While I stayed there, Ken did some bill paying, etc. on his computer.  After lunch, we headed to Costco to get a few items and gas (it was about 20 minutes from the CG).  As soon as we got there Ken realized he didn't have his wallet.  So, he dropped me off at Wal-Mart (about 15 minutes from the CG) and I got groceries till he returned with his wallet.  Then on to Costco and Total Wine.  By the time we returned it was already 5.  Ken continued working on his computer while I prepped and made dinner. 

At 7, we went to Chuck and Melissa's to play more games.  It was another fun time.  With the change of time we were in bed by 10:15.
