When it Rains it Pours
So I've been busting my tail trying to get a nice inventory made for the Kerrville Market tomorrow and found another display to use that really serves the purpose very well ...really trying hard to get my act all together so I can get more than the two hours' sleep I did before last month's show.
My brother came in from New Mexico today, and I got a call about 4:30 from them asking if I'd like to go out to dinner. Ordinarily I would have said no, that I needed to stay home and get things finished for the show. But as a result of the past 7 months, I've learned to take those moments with family and friends when opportunity knocks. So I said yes, and we were supposed to be leaving soon. So I changed clothes and decided while I was waiting, I'd pull the van up to the carport so I could unload the tables and other displays from the last show, and load the things that I needed for this show as soon as we got back from the restaurant. I hadn't driven the van since I came home from the show in the driving thunderstorm Sunday night because I'd used the smaller, more fuel efficient car for the times I had to run around town.
Well, the van won't start.....not a drop of juice...not even the overhead lights or radio....nada. So I will be taking my tiny car to the market tomorrow and it's gonna be a tight squeeze getting everything in. I've already loaded the canopy and limited displays...I came in to cool off and rehydrate, now I need to see about finding a place for the inventory!
What's next???
