I really wanted to go to Fremont this morning to the Sunday Market, expanded this Solstice Weekend into the Fremont Street Fair. We went one year to the Fremont Solstice parade, which is very funky, but we were busy doing other things yesterday, so we didn't make it to the parade. that is usually the case. <br /> This morning it was raining, and we almost cancelled our plans, but decided sort of last minute to go after all. We had two fun hours of looking and shopping and discovering crafts of many kinds, and talking to craftsmen and vendors.We had our fill, left before the crowds grew, and were back home for lunch. yesterday was a great day, too, as you can see from my last post. We topped it off with an eve ning walk as the sun set gloriously and the super moon rose.<br />Yes, we all must follow our passions, however great or simple they are.Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-815407840602234482013-06-23T19:59:52.056-07:002013-06-23T19:59:52.056-07:00See it's what I told you in your other post..i...See it's what I told you in your other post..it's what skydiving does to your head that's important. <br />Skydiving is something I would have done in a heartbeat if I had the chance.

Slip ups could be catastrophic though trusting someone else to do it for you would be equally scary. That must be a big hurdle to get over. <br />Nice work with that newbie.
