Just relaxing

Just a clarification for those of you that were wondering (there were several people that commented)…The penguins were not blue.  It was the reflection from the water that made him look blue. 

In other news, we had a great weekend.  Friday we went with Josephine to see a movie (Social Network).  Any guesses on how much a ticket costs?  I’ll give you a hint.  It starts with an eight and ends with a teen ($18 in case you missed it).  Kind of expensive but it was a good movie.  

Saturday was packed with Fremantle Festival activities.  We went to the Village Market to browse the local hand made crafts.  We at some delicious festival food (German sausage and pupusas from El Salvador).  Amy and I like to share so we can have more than one item.  In the afternoon we spent a little time at the Fremantle Arts Centre looking at some art and then took a stroll down through a local neighborhood where they were airing their qulits.  It was a nice relaxing day in the beautiful spring weather.  Saturday night we spent some time with Ben, Jay, Toby and Matt.

Sunday was another relaxing day. We grabbed our produce at the market, worked on our presentation for work and had some more festival food.  In the afternoon we went to the Fremantle parade.  

Sunday night was reserved for Dave Faulkner, lead singer of the HooDoo Gurus. He was accompanied by Lucky Oceans, a steel guitarist from the American country/western music group Asleep at the Wheel.  It was a fun, relaxing evening under the stars.

Check out the purple shirt. He got if for $15.

So that is about all for now.  We are planning to have a Thanksgiving meal at our place next Saturday.  The guys are very excited about their first Thanksgiving (even going out of their way to download some American football to watch).  I hope everyone has a safe, fun, family filled Thanksgiving.  I'll be thinking of you all as I'm working and enduring the 98 degree heat.
