Lion's Harvest Fair, Long Day

The Ridge

It was 6:30 when Bill called up to me this morning, Saturday, Oct. 3rd. I'd asked him last night 'don't let me sleep past 6:30'. He left for the flying field at 6:45 and I moved into action. 

Good morning!

My favourite picture today

I'd showered yesterday so just had to wash, nibble on some yogourt, make a lunch, get dressed and go. I was in the car, after disconnecting from power, at 7:40. When I arrived at the Community Centre, it wasn't quite 8 am but the doors were open for vendors to enter. 

Nerves? Excitement?
both!

I didn't see Trudy yet, but first found my table, (made sure Trudy's was next to me) and then proceeded to bring my things in and get set up. My friend arrived soon after that, arriving with her son, Dan, and they set up quickly.

I'm all set up so took time
to snap a picture of the whole room

The tables were 8' long, which gave us plenty of room to spread out our wares. I was feeling the worries roll off my shoulders and began to relax, in control of what I was doing. I wasn't expecting much from today other than more experience. 

Trudy makes weighted
theraputic crochet 'stuffies'
and the kids and the adults love
to hold them.

For 7 hours, from beginning to end, we just enjoyed ourselves. We had some laughs, learned more about each other, met new acquaintances and even sold a few of our items. Trudy did better than I did but I was happy, by the end of the day, to sell enough to pay for my table and walk away with $4! 🤭I don't consider that a loss. 

Trudy and I met at the
Mat over a year ago and hit it off.
Today, she helped calm my nerves
a whole lot.

Bill stopped by on Jazz when he was done after a good morning at the field and he was able to meet Trudy and Dan. When we packed things up at 3, we exchanged hugs with hopes to see each other before we head south. Bill was at the Legion and asked me to join him.

It was a pretty sky when I drove home

With a few Legion/Lion's members, we had a drink, bought (& lost) a few meat, 50/50 tickets, I danced one dance to Boot, Scoot & Boogie and we came home - separately. 🏍️🚗 Gibbs was happy to see us both and after bringing my cooler in, I was too tired to unload.

Gibbs was happy to see us
return home.
He hadn't been outside much
all day.

For supper, we had fish, chips and onion rings and everything was very good. I wanted to finish my post so put Murder in a Small Town on while I worked. Hoping this would keep me awake. 😂 It has been a good day. 

I went overboard on my onion rings
but they were delicious!

It was a chilly start, 5.5C/42F, but warmed up quite nicely. Bill told me it was a great morning for flying and obviously a lovely afternoon for a bike ride to town. 

I looked out my window and saw
these two cleaning up the yard.

Thank you for all the support on my sale day. It was a great day.

A pretty sky tonight.
Good night!

Thank you for your visit.
