On Saturday, we attended the Clayton art fair. It was a beautiful day, sunny, not to hot and not too cold. This is a relatively small art fair, about five blocks of booths. It is juried and the art is expensive. The few artists that we discussed this with, thought highly of this fair. For them it is a money maker. We got there early and had a jump on the crowds for a while. This allowed us to command the attention of the pictured balloon festooned minstrels and get a photo with them. How does she get that blue dress on? At the far end of the fair, we grabbed lunch at Herbie’s, an eatery that is usually too slammed to even get a table at.

For years, we missed this art fair, because it always coincided with the Bike MS charity ride. In the past, we committed to that event instead. We are older now and this year, we have travelled too much to participate in that ride. Last week, we attended a Team Kaldis dinner party, where we got together again with some old bike buddies. At that dinner, for remembrances sake, we played a video that was produced for the 2011 ride. It is a very well-done movie. Although the team still persists, looking back that year was probably its high point.
