This week is flying by with little time to paint. Errands, dentist appointment, washed and waxed both vehicles, mowed and trimmed yards. I had a pedicure after a year and a half of chemo damage to my feet. My dogs look so good...well lets say much better! I had to locate all the items for an outdoor show and pack the suburban. Heading out for a few days by the York (VA) River then a show in Historic Williamsburg, one of my favorite places.

Checking In...
We did take Friday night off to go dancing. A very good band, Uptown Band was playing at The Hollywood Casino in Morgantown. We have never been there, it was free and the sodas were free! All the tables were full and no one was leaving so from 8 to 10:30 we were dancing or standing. It is a smoking facility but they managed it pretty well. We had a good time though not my favorite venue, but you can't beat free!

Fields of tulips... from Burnside Tulip Farm in Virginia.
I can usually mix any color I need but the vibrancy I need for tulips I cannot duplicate. I may need to buy a few new colors.

Tulips…
We decided to go to Burnside Tulip Farms in Virginia. Sold out by Saturday night for Sunday but they offered last minute tickets on Sunday morning at 6am. Set the alarm and snagged 2 tickets and were out of the house by 6:45am. Yes, we drove 3 hrs to see tulips! Never dull at our house.
Our first stop was Dolce & Ciabatta in Leesburg. The BEST muffin. We also brought some bread home. Next was the tulip farm. Pretty impressive, you get to pick any 5 tulips per ticket, not a bargain. There will be some tulip paintings coming!
Then we went to Morven Park and did a Davis Mansion house tour, followed by a very unremarkable dinner in Leesburg. Hoping to be back home by 7pm. FULL but FUN day.
Remember… Monday is my ice cream scooping day.
Greco’s in Lititz
