What I Did on my Weekend...

Did you miss me?  We did another event this weekend, and I spent most of the week fussing with preparations for it.  No great funny tales to share about THIS festival (thank God!), although we did have some "Kodak Moments" during set-up.  It's always amusing to see me and my sister (we weigh a total of about 235# together) horsing this huge equipment out of my van and trailer and getting it into position.  At this place, we had to roll it all up a handicapped ramp and twenty yards down a long concrete porch, at an Exhibition Pavillion at a county fairgrounds.  And then, we had to figure out HOW to arrange everything, since we couldn't use our canopy...which is also the framework for all our signage.  This was a BIG problem for my sister, since she designed the big sign (you can see it in the picture below) and is quite proud of it.  NOT using it was not an option for her, so we were by god going to figure out a way to hang it, AND to its best advantage.  She spent about two hours screwing with it, but it turned out beautifully, I think.  (That's the handsome husband behind the counter...)

I've spent the morning trying to catch up on all the journals I missed over the weekend.  I've seen so many great ideas for things I want to write about...I'd have to sit here and write all afternoon and into the evening.  I can't allow myself to do THAT, though I would dearly love to.  So I'll pick one and write about it later this evening after I get caught up on everything else I have to do around the house...including cooking my husband a magnificent Weight Watcher's friendly feast, in appreciation of his dedicating his entire weekend to helping me with this event.  My husband....I think I'll keep him!  (LOL!)

  2. I was just thinking about you this morning and wondering if you had a "Gig" this weekend. The sign is lovely.  I hope you didn't get drenched at your event like we did here in Hillsboro.
