music and art at choochokam arts festival


Every July the choochokam arts festival comes to Whidbey Island for the weekend and features arts, crafts, music and food.

This year I actually got out and joined everyone in the street dancing. Although I was probably more conservative with my "letting go," it was still quite freeing and surreal. I loved the music by Will West & the friendly strangers and bought both available cds (sunshine and take this moment).

I normally wear sneakers as I walk or ride my bike mostly, but I thought I'd wear sandals that evening. Luckily, I caught a ride after walking a few blocks with the local golf cart commuter, and he took me all the way into town. Hours later, my husband and I walked home from the festival completely revived from the music and festivities.

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely!
