Today is the East Lansing Art Fair spilling out of parking lots into the streets and sidewalks. To begin touring the more than 200 booths, we fortified ourselves with a lunch at El Azteco: beer, topopo and botana. Roof top open, a darkened morning and threatening thundershowers gave way to billowing clouds, a fresh breeze to cool you as you baked in the sun, oblivious to the tanning rays. Down the crowded passageway from rooftop to street level and out into the heavy beat of a band: waaaay to much base: abump, abump, abump. Kathy is on a mission of sorts, to buy birthday gifts for co-workers at the Pediatric Pulmonary Clinic, whom we will see at the Cystic Fibrosis Walk-a-thon tomorrow, held in Dewitt. More walking, biking, chatting and catching up.I will not be going to the Cottage tomorrow as planned as Big Red developed an electrical problem and the mechanics can't figure out what's wrong so they will have to wait until Monday to speak/with the "tech center." I am sure all will sort itself out. Kathy is glad this problem occurred while we were at home and not during out crossing of the upland California dessert or at Vail Pass, 10,666 feet, or even at Warren Dunes last week. There is a rainbow after every storm.
As part of the looking for presents for others we stop-'n-shop.
Kathy stopped at a hand dyed hand made clothing shop and she tried on some cover overs and a hat. We discussed the merits of how she looked in various outfits and hats, both agreeing upon some flattering threads that she could wear to work as well as her upcoming trip to China in the middle of June. During our tour de force we stopped and chatted with people we knew, and those whom we didn't, although they had cute kids and we told them so. As it had rained significantly last night, there were pools of water spread around and one child sat down in one puddle: looked good.

I will be heading upto the Cottage just as soon as Big Red is ready and able.
