Day off in Downtown
+ scheduled a pick-up of my fabric donation to a local sewing class for girls
+ photographed 3 kites @ Gulfport beach for reviews on KiteLife Magazine
+ parked in downtown and walked around and sneezed like mad (oak pollen) but was a beautiful day out!
+ paid the utility bill
+ ate at subway and pondered what life would be like if we lived in a small apartment downtown - no need to use the car because everything but family is so close, having less "stuff" to clutter our lives, not owning a house
+ looked around Star Booty and learned that they take cool clothing, etc. for store credit and also consign handmade items/art
+ came home and now I'm off to clean more

Rob's new kite and video
Oh yeah - Rob's been rocking his kite-making skillz. This is his standard version "Mohawk," soon to be available for sale. This is the kite that he has been testing and losing sleep over for months. I think it paid off.

day trip to saint augustine
highlights from the fun-fly kite day trip:
- being awake before the sun rises
- hearing Robert's first handmade kite (the Mohawk) roar through the air like a fighter jet in 25 mph winds
- watching dumb people feed sea gulls and other beach/park birds
- being proud of Robert for his great job with the Mohawk
- being exposed to unhealthy amount of Jimmy Buffett
