Well folks, it's this coming Saturday:

I am very excited as this will be my third year participating, and it is going to be the best yet! This year the event is taking place only on Quebec Street downtown Guelph. It is an awesome festival, with artists (like myself) face painting, music, food, dancing and more! And there is always the lovely shops of downtown Guelph. SO! If you can - come check it out.

One more thing...
I have been meaning to post something about this since last week....
I WANT this guy.
Just watch, and you will understand.
DELICIOUS.

DELICIOUS.
Chats, Grandpa, Farm, Show, Ryan
Belated I know, but what can I say ... I've been busy!
Oh who am I kidding ... I have been LAZY.
SO - report on the chats - they have been caught redhanded LOVING each other! Ha! I knew it would happen ... it was only a matter of time.
Those little cheeky monkeys ....
I also had to put a collar on Eric because I had kicked him way too many times due to his quiet sneakiness. Now I can hear him everywhere he goes!
I clipped Eric's toenails for the first time last week ... holy toenails batman - he freaked out! He practically had a panic attack. I will have to go about it differently in the future ...
He does enjoy being brushed though - that's a good sign.
Eric has taken a liking to climbing up the back of me (or the front, or the side), eventually arriving on my shoulder like a parrot - that is, before I clipped his nails :) It was cute and all - but I got sick of explaining all my cuts.
Though I don't have a photo of it, you'll just have to trust my word on this one - Buster has started bathing Eric. My old fat man is sooooo predictable.
Well - enough about cats - for now anyways.
This past weekend I participated in the Festival of Arts and Crafts in Goderich. I stayed with my Grandpa, which was nice because I had not spent much time with him lately - AND it was free! Imagine that. I didn't realise that I had been missing the farm.
It really is a lovely place.
Anyways - I had some, well, interesting experiences with my Grandpa - let's just say he drives like a Grandpa, and that I will never be getting in a car with him behind the wheel ever again. Frankly I am amazed I am here to tell the tale! Yikes.
He did have some funny stories to tell - though I heard them all twice in the 3 days I was there. Oh, and he is missing a front tooth ... he really does look like a farmer! But he said he would be getting his tooth replaced on Tuesday (today) so that's one thing down.
The show was in a word - interesting, as well. For those of you who have never been, or heard of this show, it is HUGE. It is very well known, and very well attended. This year though, it was more like a show - rather than a sale. I say this because everybody was looking, and not many were buying. The lovely couple in the booth next to me who have been doing the show for 8 years said this is the worst year for sales for them, and that they won't be coming back. Well - at least I know it wasn't just me then! I would like to do it again - just to see if I can use some clever trickery to make my sales better next year ... I can't divulge what that trickery is right now :)
Well I feel like this is going on forever ... I am sure later today I will remember something else I wanted to write about and have to post another blog ... but alas, I will leave you with one statement - and a couple funny photos that are not related to each other at all.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN! A QUARTER OF A CENTURY!
