My weekend

I don't know if I mentioned previously or not that we had yet another booth at yet another street fair. This one is the "Old Tyme Days"... It had more rides & a few more attractions than the one we went to last month. We had a cloudy start to Saturday morning. We were expecting rain on and off through the day - and according to the weather that my boss watched - it was supposed to clear out by 3:00pm. Well, this is pretty much how the whole day looked....

{notice the people in the left hand side of the picture running with their umbrellas....}

This was taken before the bottom dropped out! The little white 5 gallon bucket there in the center of the picture floated on down the street a short time later. Booths were closing left & right & some just never showed up at all. My boss, being the ever-optimistic person that she is, kept up with the hope that it would be clear by 3:00pm.

By 3:00pm - we were standing in 6 inches of water in our booth - which we had already moved to keep out of the water streaming down alongside the curb... Everything we had brought to show at the fair we had brought in cardboard boxes. Now I realize that cardboard boxes & 6 inches of water DO NOT MIX. We ended up getting one of the girls husband to run out & get us some plastic totes so we could load all of our inventory up. By the time we packed up to go - the street was flooded up over the curb and we were all soaked. At least the weather decided to stay somewhat warm... I can handle being soaking wet as long as it isn't cold.

My son came along with us because he loves these fairs. He didn't get to do too much as far as the rides or the fairway. Even though is was raining, he was a trooper! He enjoys getting wet in the rain. If there would have been any mud nearby - he would have loved it that much more!!!

We were supposed to have the booth set up on Sunday as well, but right about the time I was walking out of the house - my boss called & said that we weren't going to do it.

The weather on Sunday was a complete opposite to the day before.

The sun was out,

there was no wind,

the sky was a beautiful blue.

Wonderful weather!
