A visit to the city

Been a while since last post.  Taking care of things at home that have been put on hold for a while.
Did take some time for a watermelon festival Steve wanted to go to.
The watermelon festival in Cary town Richmond Va. was sardined packed with people.    The line for the watermelon was so long, I counted up to 30 before we walked down a way to get something to eat.
wanted crab cakes but the line was just as long there also,  so we went to the Greek restaurant there on the strip and had gyro for Steve and veggie wrap for me.
you can see the line in the distance

a band playing

I like the colors on this shop


 
 I had a veggie wrap at the Greek restaurant.   I love eggplant and mushrooms , onions etc. but was a little to salty for me.
 
Steve had a gyro
 
I like this art piece of our city with monument and skyline
 
 paper dachshunds
 
a picture of a pretty roof through the tree on the blvd.
 
nice homes with fencing nice side yard gate or door rather
 
 
 
 
 
 
 soda can art in ones yard
 
this looks to be a lily
 
 
 
couldn't help but admire the little balconies,  I called them Juliet balconies
 
 
 
 
 The both of us were thinking this little balcony would go well off of the side window in our living room - I want one.
 
Almost to our car here at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
 
 
 
 
 
 
bye for now

Hi Betsy: Those lines for food remind me when our fair is going and the line for special cinnamon rolls. You can't hardly get near for days! Love those balconies. So pretty..Happy Thursday..Judy
