Barb’s Burblings

Having taken a couple of months off since that last big freelance project I had, I’m in the midst of another one. Thankfully, this is one is super short-term; turnaround of a bit over a week. Of course, that means it’s been a busy week.

I did take a few breaks, one of which was to check out the Labor Day festivities here in Kensington. Kensington treats Labor Day like a bigger deal than I’ve experienced anywhere else. There was a parade and a street fair. The parade went right in front of my place, arriving at the time that I had planned to wake up, which worked out nicely. The parade actually ended around the corner–which I can also hear very well from certain rooms in the apartment. So I’d hear a band on one side of my apartment, then hear it again a couple of minutes later. The street fair was also neat, and it was nice to see a lot of people wandering around, even with the overcast weather.

It’d be nice to actually go out and watch the parade. It’d also be nice to have someone to wander around the street fair with, but honestly, after reading 400+ pages about underprivileged children in Michigan, I’m pretty grateful for what I have.
