This weekend was pretty cool and the start of a nice weeklong vacation for Thanksgiving. My parents closing for their house got moved to wednesday so the girls and I are using this time to clean and straighten up our own home and possibly get out the christmas tree (it's been like 4 years since i put it up). Anyhoo I went to a local crafts fair with Alexi as she's been drafted to help find vendors for the jingle bell jubilee in downtown Bryan. I've been trying to find new ways to get involved with more civic things in hopes of finding new creative work. and then it all started with a schnauzer at the Bryan Birthday party in Haswell park Saturday afternoon. A lady was walking a gorgeous schnauzer and of course I had to pet him. it turns out this lady is on the hospitality committee for the new annual festival of wine and steak for texas where the 10 wineries of texas come together and basically show off their wine. As I spoke with her about she asked if I was interested in designing the award which is pretty cool. Hopefully being on this committee will help me get to know more people and forget about some other ones.
