Junein

The glories of June abound with green in abundance and gardens growing. school schedules slow down or end altogether and we move slowly into summer. I have worked my third Pantry day now and they entrust our little crew with the keys to the church community hall.
Last weekend was the one of the biggest for celebrations in Kalamazoo. Art fairs, the Do-Dah parade, Greek fest, and concerts. Mary and I hit Friday evening for the Art Hop where we were running into friends and acquaintances at breakneck speed. We hooked up with Mike and Susan, Patrick and Peggy for dinner at Charlie Fosters and went home kind of early so that we were in good shape for the Greek fest on Saturday where I assisted Susan and her Palamazoo crew in entertaining tots near the playground inside the Arcadia Festival site. Downtown was packed with folks checking out the parade and art, etc. The weather was just right. It was a short and sweet gig and we got some little ones to smile and shake an egg , sing along or swing a streamer. We boogied to the sounds of the greek music as the puppets. After that we hit the food tent for some Greek grub and a beer. It was an early night again, stayed home and watched a Netflick and some Red Wings as they get closer to the Cup. The camera malfunctioned on Saturday so we have no pictures of the Palamazoo Greek fest show. Sorry, make it up next time.
