Wednesday April 3, 2013  update #411

After uploading my photos this morning I had to get cracking at the Hearts Of Gold bid sheets for the auction.  We are up to 73 confirmed auction items plus several “for sale” items and some door prizes.  It is going to be a good event so I hope we get a great turnout.   It seems everyone we talk to has heard of it and is intending to show up.

Bella was off to her Bridge Club and left me in charge of a possible noon visit by Luly who did not arrive until after 1.   Bella is returning the Kefir substances as she is tired of doing all the work involved.   I am truly sorry to see that go but I can appreciate all the work it takes. 

Then I got a call from Emilie at HoG asking if I could be available at 3pm to go view some rental tables for the event, so off I went again.  California Kitchen don’t have nearly enough tables for our needs so we went to this wedding rental place on Solano.  We rented 13 6.5-foot tables, with pickup and delivery, for $45, such a deal!  That is one major worry off our list.   We will be setting up at 9:30am on the day of the event.

I then walked to Diez De Agosto, took a few shots of the picturesque church on the hill, then went to check out the little 27 De Febrero Mercado a block away that I had never visited before.   It is much bigger than it appears and is very clean.   I might visit this place more often.   In my travels I spotted a huge backpacker’s backpack and asked the price.  I walked away with it for $20.

Then I headed over to get my house insurance policy at SegurAlmeida.   The office was open and they finally located my documents and I had to sign about six forms just to get my copy.

Once home I got the urge to try to catch Tom Thumb.  On my first attempt the shutter click scared him away but he came back fairly quickly.  My first shot was so terrible I can’t even show you.   The light was fading fast but I did get a much better shot although it is not anywhere near the quality I am looking for.

That was today’s excitement.   Hugs to all.  Please see all new photos at http://souvenircuenca.blogspot.com/
