Vacation Weekend

Farmer's Market
We squeezed a lot into Saturday. We made our first (quick) trip to Royal Oak's Farmer's Market. John usually has Saturday morning appointments.

Woodward Dream Cruise
I have heard about this, but could not imagine what it was like. We figured we would at least experience some of it our first year here. Wow, what a lot of (old) cars!

My favorite part was the car with paint that looked a deep purple color, but seemed to change to a deep green as I moved around it.

We also saw our nurse friend, Robin, who spent some time as our guide, and who also reminded me that chemo makes skin need extra care in the sun! (We did not stay very long.)

African World Festival
We specifically wanted to see the Soweto Street Beat (drumming program from South Africa) (and to eat the food). We enjoyed meeting Peter and Isabelle, and participating in the drumming and even a bit of Zulu dancing (generous description). It was fun!

I also bought a head wrap, and the woman at the booth wrapped it around my head for me, explaining directions as she went.


Kensington Community Church
Where does a minister go on vacation? This morning it was Kensington Community Church. Their theme was the work of volunteers in the Body of Christ. (It got John and I brainstorming...) I also bought a book that Jim W. had recommended some time ago, Blue Like Jazz. So now, it is on my reading list, as soon as I am done with my current one...
