I spent a total of seven hours working on the deck, and I am exhilarated with all my progress.

I fed the dogs, quickly showered and dressed, caught bus 17 downtown, ate dinner, caught a production of JESUS CHRIST, SUPERSTAR, and moved to Riverscape with Cody where we are sitting on my swing overlooking the river while taking in the last strains of Celtic Festival’s second of three days.

At first we were seated by the beautiful and epic sculptured tribute to Charles Kettering where I ended up serving as an impromptu photographer for over half a dozen couples or families trying to selfie themselves in the oversized backdrop.

I think the best part about being at the tail end of this festival is watching all the alcohol-absorbed folks believing they are skilled Irish dancers!

Ahhhh… this is absolute heaven.

Cheers to my Clary and Daugherty family and ancestors.
