Monday, Monday

 It was a bittersweet morning as I packed up my paint brushes, paints and bottle caps and put them away until the fall.  I can't begin to say how much I enjoy painting and crafting.  It is so therapeutic to do, plus I can do it at the kitchen table while six feet away from the Old Man in his recliner if he needs me. 

Craft Bazaar Report

 It was a beatutiful spring day yesterday, but unfortunately that didn't urge the shoppers to come out.  I did sell twice what I sold at the Christmas bazaar, so I was happy with that. 

Unless I can find any summer bazaars, I will hang up my paint brushes and store my bottle caps until the early fall. 

Almost Show Time

 The Silver Bullet is almost loaded up for the craft bazaar tomorrow.  I bought a cool lightweight folding wagon to use - the other folding wagon I had been using was heavy and cumbersome getting it in and out of the back of the van.  I also bought a cool Snoopy cross body bag to use for my keys, phone and my ones, fives and tens for my change.  Nothing to do now but wait until I go this evening to set up. 

A Busy Day

 Tomorrow evening I will go to the church and set up my booth for the craft bazaar.  I've been busy this morning packing up all of my bottle cap crafts into plastic bins with lids.  It will make for easy transport and easier storage.  I put together my display racks to make sure all is well and other than taking the bins and stuff out to the van, I am good to go.  Bring it on. 

A Busy Week

 I've been busy this week putting the finishing touches on my bottle cap art, and getting everything ready for the craft bazaar on Saturday.  Tomorrow I will load the Silver Buller with all of my stuff and be ready to go to the church on Friday evening to set up.

Once again, I can't say how much I enjoy the painting and crafting.  I don't care if I get a dollar back in sales - I just enjoy the painting and seeing something that people would like (hopefully) to buy.

A Great Monday

 The Old Man has been dealing with sciatica pain for the last few weeks.  A friend called yesterday and asked if we could meet her out in our part of town for dinner.  I asked the Old Man, and he said sure. I prayed last night for no pain today.  We had a great early dinner with our friend and stayed at the restaurant two hours talking.  It sure was a great Monday. 

Flashback Saturday

 Yesterday was the anniversary of the April 3, 1974 tornado outbreak.  It was one of the biggest and worst tornado outbreak in the country.  Cherokee Park here in Louisville was almost wiped out and the fairgrounds were badly damaged.  There was other devastation but these two were the worst.  But other than seeing pictures of the park with trees, one thing about the tornadoes still stands out in my memory. On April 4, schools and businesses were closed, and I vividly remember going with my Sweet Mother and Grandpa to the drugstore, and in the 52 years since, I have never seen a sky as crystal clear and blue.
