Day 16

Today had some adventure, finally.

It started with a visit from my godmother over for breakfast where I made sausage links, she made omelets, and I made cupcakes for "dessert". And that was OK.

But then I had an interesting day. I spent nearly the whole afternoon walking all over Oak Park. Various artists were showing their studios and demonstrations of what they do. And it was interesting to see it.

But the funny thing was is that it felt like a road trip movie where people take multiple transportations to get across the country. Throughout the day, it was walking, buses, and cars. I walked through an art district of Oak Park and worked my way through the village on a bus, on my legs, and in a car. I know, very weird, but I had a good time.

It ended with a funny iced cream social at the art gallery where there was iced cream and a raffle. I bid on things, but wasn't there to see the winner as I left early. But I'm sure I got some things. I also bought some gifts for my sister-in-law as her birthday is on the 30th. She's a real jewelry enthusiast. That's why it's hard to buy for her sometimes. She always wears earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, but I also want her to match as well. I got her a barrette at a store where a lady did textiles (one of the artist people) and looked for some glass jewelry (at a glass artist's studio), but couldn't find anything there.
