Another good show. In fact, a great show!!
One never knows about Rockport. We have melted, been blown around and been in some bad storms in our years at this show. This year was hot, but not unbearable. Lots of people were in Rockport this year, so business was good. This show has a nice artists party on Friday early evening in the art museum. It is a chance to eat and talk with the other artists. This group of museum staff and volunteers is one of the nicest groups we work with. They work very hard to make sure the artists are comfortable and have everything they need.

Our friend and wonderful jeweler, Steve Kriechbaum, was there there year and wowed the jewelry buying crowd!
"The Bird Guy" was present, as usual. At 10:00, on Saturday, when the gates open, people RUN to his booth to snatch up the beautiful birds he creates from narly pieces of wood. This year was no exception. People ran from both gates to converge on him. For the rest of the morning, you could see people walking out with 2-3 of his pieces.
Rockport is a show where everyone comes to visit us. My sister, Jan and her husband, Alan come up from Victoria. Our friends, Jen and Drew from San Antonio spend the weekend visiting us and the town. Our friend, Jeff, who lives in Rockport comes by to hang out and catch up. Plus, since we are close to Victoria, friends from our school days come by. We also just enjoy Rockport. I strolled over to the little harbor and took some pictures of:

and the jellyfish!
No more shows now for a several weeks. Philip will still take orders over the internet and by phone. We will fly to VA to see Jenny and family. Hang out with Carla and family in Boerne and go to the lake in Austin as long as there is water.
