Craft Bazaar Report

 I'm sorry to say yesterday's craft bazaar was a bust.  There were barely a few shoppers that came. I talked to 8 of the 30 vendors there, and none of them sold enough to break even with the fee they paid for their booth.  I was happy to have sold enough ornaments to cover my booth fee and to come out $10 ahead. But it was a great day, in spite of the weather.  I'm already planning for that church's April bazaar.  Stay tuned,

Snow Report From The Compound

 According to my Precip app, we got 8.8" of snow last night.  Phase 1 of snow removal is complete - I cleared off the front porch steps and sidewalk.  Phase 2 will be later this afternoon when I clear off the back porch ramp.  Our road is very clear, thanks to the snow plows that came through.  According to the morning local news, all main roads are clear.  I hope the snow doesn't deter shoppers from coming to the craft bazaar tomorrow.  I'm glad I loaded up everything in the van yesterday afternoon.

Safe And Sound

 I honestly can't remember when I have driven through heavy rain as I did this morning on the Watterson Expressway going to BSF.  It was Jesus take the wheel, and I made it there and back home in crazy traffic safe and sound.  For that I am thankful.

Crafting Update

 I spent a good part of yesterday and today working on more bottle cap ornaments and pictures to get ready for Saturday's craft bazaar.  I'm on schedule as of now.  Tonight I will fire up the hot glue gun and make another picture and tomorrow after BSF I will glue antlers and tails onto fifteen wine cork reindeer.  So far, so good. 

Stay tuned.

The Old Man Was Right

 The Old Man and his parents always said that snow waits around for another snow.  They were right.  We still had a little bit of snow hanging around, and this morning we woke to a heavy dusting of snow.  It didn't last long, but the old wive's tale was right.

Something You Don't See Every Day

 As I usually do on Saturdays, I went through the drive-thru at the corner liquor store to get my Powerball tickets.  Once again, something caught my eye in the big galvanized garbage can at the end of the store - today, it was an empty Little Debbie Christmas Tree cake box.  At least they had good taste and threw away their empty.
