I had a late night reading again until 1am so had a nice sleep until 9am and then got busy with chores.

Bob and I went to Whyte Avenue to check out Leo's music at the Commercial and to check out the last day of The Fringe.  The last day crowds under amazing warm and sunny skies were actually disappointing, in my view.  There were even very few actors out promoting their shows.

Leo keeps playing his usual standard tunes at Blues On Whyte and, today, he had a guest, Laurelle Kanji, who sang with a beautiful voice.  Towards the end of her set, Leo joined in on the drums.  They worked well together.

Bob was chatting with 2 ladies across from him, mostly about Ontario places and happenings.  I recognized the area one lady kept mentioning and I told her that I have a sister in Vineland.  She looked at me incredulously and said that her family has the only implement dealership in that town!  Small world...

Then I went cruising to get Bob some mini donuts without sugar and spotted a whole street of food tents that I had ignored before...  I wolfed down a plate of onion rings with Hy's Seasoning Salt....

Then I turned the corner to find artisan tents and the first tent had clothing I recognized.  I correctly guessed that the man was from Ecuador and we had a little chat.  He said that he had married at age 40 and it was not what he expected, lol....  He also did not have any large cashmere sweaters or light alpaca pochos for me...  Drat!

I have been trying to make an appointment using Telephone Banking with the nearest branch of my Bank and they seriously have no opening for 2 weeks!  I intend to go talk to them in person tomorrow as I have only a 3 day window to accomplish what I want....  Sheesh!!!!

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.
