don’t think i’ve ever been set up this early before – and i’ve already been here at the rv park(ing lot) for about an hour! (time to trim my nails again – having trouble typing). there are only 3 vendors there, one more was coming. both she and the local shop are only setting up a one table/no walls deal. so the only other ‘booth’ is holly from newport (quilter’s cove)! they kept telling me what a small show it is. guess i can believe it now. i did bring some fabric to sell – just in case there’s not an applique person in sight!
it was feeling a little warm earlier, but the wind has picked up and it’s downright chilly. lovely. more than i can say for this rv place. very nice people, but just nothing more than a parking lot, really. will work just fine for what i am doing, i guess. altho, if the hours really are 10 – 4, that makes for a longish evening. guess sophie and i will go for a long walk in the neighborhood. we are right on a side street, and ON 101. at least it is reasonable. could drive to old town and wander, i suppose. just don’t usually do things like that during a show. that just might be classified as ‘fun’ and not sure that’s allowed. ^_^ and i did bring plenty of work to do. plus a couple movies to watch. and, hey, there’s always majong. ahhhh, so many choices. ^_^
if you’re in the area, the show is at the farwest hall on 42s, just a block off 101, on the right.
the trip was uneventful, except for the unconscious things i kept doing. missed the first ‘cheap’ gas stop and thought i had enough to get to the next one. then i began to panic as the needle landed on that orange mark. given i’ve never run out of gas in this thing(nor do i want to) i don’t know how accurate the gauge is – so chickened out and stopped one exit early. as often happens, the pump stopped at $50 – actually, at $47 and change this time??? i decided that would be enough to get me to oregon. (not even close!!) and since i was thinking that, elected not to stop and finish filling when i got to the ‘cheap’ gas exit (25 cents cheaper!) so, that meant another expensive stop long before the border!
and once in hugo, i realized how nice it would have been to get there earlier and have a relaxing evening in that lovely setting. i mean, i really had no reason not to leave earlier. just piddled around till noon – in fact 12:30 by the time i pulled out. i’m certain there was another silly thing i did, but can’t remember now.
so, now let’s just beat the odds and have a really great show. ^_^ at least it’s cool and sunny. not sure how far it would be to walk to where i could see the water. certainly plenty of boats in this area. i can see 3 out the front window. perhaps i’ll inquire.
love and beauty
