Busy and fun weekend

 The Missouri kids came here on Thursday night so there were games, walks, biking, eating, Devon's graduation party, a trip up the tower, and repeat.

I know that was a condensation but help me out here, okay?

The 8ft pool table has been recovered and it is perfect! I love it! It plays beautifully. The color is Gold where it was beige before. And the smoothness of the Simonis cloth is so worth the effort.



Went with Gary and the kids up in the tower. I haven't been up there for quite a while. Our town looks very well taken care of and we are all neat and clean.

This pic looks east to the Jefferson cemetery and its many, many flags for our veterans.



This is Jefferson Gardens, a tribute to our President Jefferson and the namesake of our town.

There are paintings on top of the buildings around the square. There are new ones appearing all the time.

The one above is a patchwork quilt on the old J C Penney building. Southeast corner of the square.

The one below was done by a man who has a contract with Disney so he can paint anywhere he wants but if he gets a call from Disney he has to stop whatever he is doing and go where they request him to go. He also leaves a Disney Mickey Mouse symbol on all of his paintings. The symbol is not in a good place to see from the tower as it is in the lower-left corner.



These are photos of the painting they have in the tower so you can get a better view of what you see out of the window.


This one is on the Peony Restaurant, Jefferson's Chinese restaurant on the southwest corner of the square. The son of the owner is the artist and he happened to stop by while we were up there. Unfortunately, I did not get his name.


This is looking southwest from the tower. This view will change quite a bit in the next year because the old high school gym will be taken down among other changes.


This is a view to the west.

 
Art on the Courthouse grounds changes on a regular basis and these are the current ones.




Miss Elise looking it over.

Devons graduation party




Devon's name was part of the table decorations and Jason helped Leo make a friendship bracelet out of it. Then EVERYBODY wanted one!
 


Keri Brooker catered it and the food was wonderful! Ham and cheese sliders, salad, two kinds of meatballs, and pickle wraps. Wonderful!
