Festival in the Pines

We went to the Festival in the Pines on Sunday with Dad. There were over 250 craft booths there with people selling all sorts of things from music CDs to jewelery to wooden furnture. I saw quite a bit of things that I would have loved to buy but I had no way to get them home safely.

It was hard to do that festival without Mom though. For years, even when I was very little, we’d all go together and look at the exhibits, enjoy the food, and roast in the unbearable hot temperatures. I used to hate going but as I got older I realized how much my mom enjoyed it and how much she enjoyed doing it with us. I think I’ll keep going every year as long as it’s going on.
