OPC

Had my second day of volunteering at the Obama Presidential Center. I had a great day. I got some time to explore the museum tower while I was there. The pic above is a dog that got brought in to have its picture taken for some reason. 

Barack’s little hand print. 

I didn’t know there was a cereal for him. 

A model of what the White House used to look like before trump paved over the grass and ripped the east wing down. 

 And finally, the Oval Office as it used to look with no gaudy gold leaf trash everywhere.

Visit

Had a great visit from a friend the last few days. Nice to have some great weather during our time together.

Birthday Weekend

 Pics in reverse order. Since my birthday was on Wednesday my celebration was put on hold till the weekend. Saturday, I got my new watch, then met the girl for a fun time at a game place. After which we went to an excellent restaurant for dinner. The next day we went to an art festival, saw some of the air and water show before returning home to open presents during a zoom party. What a lucky gal I am!

Some sort of loud jets doing things, flying around.

Jazz band playing at the art festival.

Surprise dessert with candle.

Souvenir menu with my name on it. 

New boot goofin!

Playing games. 

Look Out, World!

 

A few pics from today

These are the recreation of the Oval Office from the Obama Presidential Center. (Note: no tacky gold bullshit like the current occupant)

After walking along the lake we ended up in Chinatown for dinner.

 

Shindig

Private client shindig at the planetarium. Very nice event. Free food and booze, access to the planetarium and lots of activities going on inside. Had a great time.

 

Sunday

 Hot day today. Spent some time at the lake then went to the Sunday concert in the park. A nice day out.
