Charlie Pointed This Out To Me

We were in the library parking garage in downtown Columbus. He’s the one who saw this and pointed to it and I took the photo. Good find, Charlie!

Biking Down an Alley

Some streets in the city have alley between them. It’s the third definition I’m talking about

a narrow street : especially : a thoroughfare through the middle of a block giving access to the rear of lots or buildings”

There are garages and the garbage cans set out for pick up. Not a lot of traffic. We we walking to a friends house to play and we went into their backyard via the alley. Charlie biked ahead of us.

Felted Soap

My friend Joanne gave me this colorful bar of felted soap that came on the wooden soap stand.

“Benefits of felted soap Felting the soap helps with longevity, lather and exfoliation. Felted soap dries out faster after each use, preventing the natural glycerin from dissolving as quickly. This makes the bar of soap last longer for you to enjoy. The felting also helps with the grip on the soap.”

Directions to make your own felted soap are on Twig and Tale Blog.

Or step-by-step tutorial on Fiberartsy

Lathers up quickly as is a pleasure to use to wash and scrub

Three Rivers Art Festival

Three Rivers Arts Festival is ten days long and is now located in the Cultural District. I went with my neighbor Sunday afternoon, on the last day. We walked around a couple of hours and headed for home when it looked like rain. I bought a cool dish towel with a screen print of a special Pittsburgh Landmark- a gift so not showing it yet.
