Last day with family 9-13-08

This morning, at 4:30 to be exact, the charming sound of metal poles clanking and clanging began. I just told myself to sleep through it which I did fitfully and then a couple hours later you could hear cars and people adding their sounds to the Saturday morning symphony. It was Farmers Market/Flea market day at the Fairgrounds, missed out on my third REM yet again…missing too many REMS on too many consecutive days is not a good thing for me. The metal poles were the supports for the canopies on the booths. It is amazing how fast the landscape of a parking lot can change.

As we left to head over to Martinez this little guy was hanging on the side of our trailer, a lovely praying mantis.

It was just a lazy day of hanging out together at the Narasaki’s. Some of us just relaxed and watched movies while visiting.

Uncle got antsy and decided Brandon’s car needed washing. The first picture is Michael hamming it up behind Uncle’s back and the other…..well Brandon’s intentions seemed questionable!

This last picture I actually got Michael and Brandon together…Michael is on the left. For some reason they are looking at me like I am pointing a gun at them instead of a camera!

We had a great day, we grazed on leftovers and brownies. Michael’s girlfriend Misa was there too.

We headed home around eight and YAHOO the races were running at the track! Where the Farmer’s Market had been this morning, was now a parking lot for the spectators of the races. Cars going round and round, roaring and booming and exploding, we forgot that is usually what happens on Saturday nights at fairgrounds with raceways. They quit at ten and the cars leaving the parking lot took until after eleven before we had quiet again. This is our last night here and such as it is, it is the only RV park in the entire county that we could find.
