Fantastic Weekend!

This past weekend was one that happens too infrequently, no show, just hanging out at home. I took The Woman out Friday evening. We started off the evening brosing through the CIAO exhibit at the main Peoria Public Library, Awesome art work and a really nice new library building. For dinner we ate at Beignet's on the corner of State and Water ( recently made famous for the Jambalaya take-out order for President Obama). Then we walked up a couple blocks to take in a Peoria Chiefs game ( the Cubs Single A affiliate) and after the game the fireworks show was a wonderful cap to the evening.

Saturday, very relaxing start, after breakfast I started working on a series of three new shaped canvas signs, Tropics (for the upcoming Lincoln show), O.T. Johnson ( for the upcoming Galesburg Civic Art Center show) and a new Ford sign ( this a cool neon sign in Depue IL) . Managed to finish Shane&Showers Shoes and Mom's Diner also new. After what I thought was a very productive day I get to go out with my girl friend again! This time we went to a local steak house Sky Harbor and then after to the Comedy Club just down the street.

Sunday we had a slight power outage in the night ( yet another tree fell and took out our power most of the late evening ) that caused everyone to oversleep and miss church ( at least that was the story we are sticking to). So after breakfast, back on the canvases. Then in the early afternoon friends started coming by to hang out at the pool. (Tom and Lisa just got back from Cancun) We ordered Pizza later and picked up a movie - washed the car for The Womans first day back at school and then a game of Dominoes with the kids.

These weekends don't happen that often so I'm glad I put this all down! I'll be frantically working on things for the upcoming month long show list!
