altivoHome, chores done, made it through.
This was the centennial party. I ended up mostly taking care of the musicians, making sure they had what they needed, which was fine. They invited me to sit in on a couple of sets, which was also fun. Party was a success, despite a severe storm watch for the whole afternoon and some very ugly clouds. Spelling bee was kinda worrisome but no surprise, with kids missing out on words like "alphabet" and "naughty". Unexpected (no one told me) was an extra award of appreciation presented by the mayor to my boss: a framed certificate that included the key to the City of Harvard. She has been library director since 1982 and started working there in 1979, and is very well-liked, but it's a low key job that rarely gets the credit due for the work put into it. This was a nice gesture at least.
Music was very well received, which is nice for the Bear Creek folks. I think there were a huge number of cookies with the number "100" on top in icing that remained uneaten at the end of the affair. I had one, they actually weren't bad, though I suspect they had more than "100" calories in them.
Predicted thunderstorms mostly missed us again, going north and south of us. Less than 1/8 inch of rain here. At least the temperature has dropped. Horses are back in their stalls tonight, which makes them feel more secure and routine even if it gets a bit stuffy at times.
I just might get to sleep early tonight. Maybe.
