There is some type of festival every weekend--cantaloupe, beef, pork, catfish. It's about 98 degrees outside, though, so I just hand out in my a/c house or workshop. My brother lived in Pasadena for a long time, I loved the California weather. (He and his wife now live up the street from me--I guess we missed the laid-back life.)<br /><br />Have you recovered from your travels to Denmark, Finland, Norway and Estonia? I'm probably forgetting at least one country--loved the sketches.hw (hallie) farberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636182620056350811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910005928220163773.post-39840542478663337832010-07-16T18:38:20.848-04:002010-07-16T18:38:20.848-04:00Hallie, I am sorry to hear of your friend's lo...Hallie, I am sorry to hear of your friend's loss. Tragedy can come so swiftly. May the warmth of friendship carry her through this difficult time.<br /><br />Your pictures of South Boston are charming. I keep thinking you should paint those chairs. Certainly I expect to see the backs of the buildings in the future. It's great hearing about and seeing photos of the area where you live.Mary Paquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11146041383396968425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910005928220163773.post-22996457591625091692010-07-16T16:53:27.747-04:002010-07-16T16:53:27.747-04:00Hi Donna.

I live in Clarksville, a small town on a lake--known for boating, fishing tournaments, hydroplane races, and antiques. <br /><br />I grew up in the rural area between these two towns. The loss of the two major industries--textiles and tobacco--has brought change. Both towns retained their charm.hw (hallie) farberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636182620056350811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910005928220163773.post-11511849505075290552010-07-16T14:07:33.540-04:002010-07-16T14:07:33.540-04:00Hallie
