Day by Day with Camille

Today from 10 until 2 was the kickoff party for  the Thomasville Public Library Summer Reading Program! There was free popcorn, free slushies, a water sliding board, and a jump room area. There  are weekly prize drawings for participants, and there are a variety of free crafts classes and movies being shown, as part of the program. 

Between 230 and 300 this afternoon, Ellie and I were taking a walk in the front yard, and we noticed a woman approaching. She was walking along the Old Thomasville Rd., coming from town(Thomasville). She staggered out into one lane of the road, and a charcoal grey SUV honked its horn at her to move out of the road.  She stood in Penny Road for a few minutes and looked at me and Ellie, then started moving towards us. She had a small black backpack, and another black drawstring bag that looked like the kind you might carry a water bottle in. She was white, with blonde hair, and had on red shorts and a white shirt. I estimated that she was around my age(58), plus or minus 5 years.  She appeared to be either inebriated or high. She called "Hey, Lady", to me as she moved toward Ellie and me. I was at the same time moving towards the house with Ellie. She asked about what breed of dog Ellie was, and told me that she'd had a Chihuahua once. Part of the time, she shielded her eye...

Yesterday morning (Aug 6), after I went to the Thomasville Farmers Market for some  fresh produce, I decided to go into the Side Street Antique Emporium and look around for a few minutes. I found the above vase, as well as a pair of elbow-length black kid leather gloves. I paid $6.29 for both items.
