Gumbo Fest 09

Another few minutes have passed and another band has taken over the stage at the Gumbo Fest at the Shell Factory. The festival always brings a huge crowd. We went over one year but since then we have just sat outside and listened to the music and watched the crowd come and go. I believe this year is even larger than ever. They have our entrance blocked off so if you just want to go into the shell factory or the Subway, you have to enter from the exit off of Tamiami Trail. We'll just wait it out today and perhaps go over to the post office tomorrow. I should have sent a birthday card to my older sister but I neglected to get one mailed. Her birthday is tomorrow so I did call her today and have a very long conversation with her. I hope she has a great birthday for she so deserves one. One of her daughters gave her a birthday dinner last night and all her children and part of her grandchildren were present. She's had a tough year this year, health-wise and she lost her husband in couple of years ago. Happy Birthday, Sis!!

I did make it to church this morning but I was absolutely fidgety during the entire service. It turned out that it was very hot and crowded in there. I really wanted to come back and rest but I stuck it out. It's a fairly long walk down there and back too so I think I wore myself out just coming and going. After lunch, I came back but just seemed to tired to even rest, still have that fidgety feeling I guess. Some of our friends went down to the bean and ham supper the park provided for us but I just didn't feel that was what I could handle for dinner. I keep hoping to wake up in the morning and feel up to par. I believe it will take a good many days yet though.
