The show was defiantly winding down on Sunday. I was hoping for a big end of day surge of sales, which never came. It rained more and just as we were finishing loading out it started to come down hard. Load out was pretty easy, C found a parking space nearby and we hauled some stuff to the van before we could get it in next to the booth. As usual there was someone with a big camper, blocking a bunch of spaces and complaining to us to move our van- which was parked perfectly in front of our booth, blocking no one.
Every year C and I discuss the possibility of getting a camper or getting a trailer to make the business easier- no more loading and unloading of the van, just leave all the displays in the camper/trailer. But then there are the people who feel they should have special treatment because they have this monster vehicle and they annoy me, and I decide that the best way of making sure I never become one of them is to just not get a monster vehicle in the first place. Although I do secretly harbor fantasies of getting a full sized Hummer and just intimidating may way in and out of craft shows. I think it would be great to paint it light blue (like water) and cover it in painted soap bubbles.
We got out of the show about 6 pm on Sunday and drove to Durham, NC. We tried to have dinner at a Texas Roadhouse but were seated near a huge loud party and our server was non existent, so C ate the bread they gave us as they sat us and we left and went to Honey’s. It was a great diner and I had breakfast for dinner before going back to the room and falling into a deep restful sleep.
