Welcome to Paradise


Made it through the first day of the Wild Blueberry Festival in Paradise!

I did quite well with sales. That said, these are long, long days of intense marketing.

Jean and I are staying with a Ludington couple who have a cabin here, and who are also vendors. In fact, there is yet another Ludington couple who are also vendors. So we all had dinner together this evening. Steve sells his photography, Bill has artwork of lighthouses, and Shirley has knitted items.

Jean made a sourdough focaccia bread to bring and share. She decorated it with vebetables and herbs to look like flowers. I'm really impressed. I see pictures of this kind of thing, but have never known someone who actually did it. It was delicious!

Lake Superior can have a temper, but it was calm and beautiful this evening.

And, because I've had a running joke on the blog for years with flamingoes, here are more different ones. These are beaded.

And now, I need to get flat and rest up to do it all over again tomorrow. At least it's supposed to be a little cooler than today.

See Festival Fun
