Oh My!
Liz , Miss. Scarlett and me... pulled in to Des Moines... early Wednesday afternoon.
It was a Trick... getting on the road... oh my.
Seemed it was one thing...after another... just getting the Luggage... in the Truck,
and doing 'last minute' things.
A Storm was Brewing.... Big Storm.
but... we got right in... at the Fairgrounds... and had our Trucks unloaded... in about 4 hours.
Then The Storm Hit.
A Tornado was sighted... South of us... and we were directed to the Storm Shelter.
Thankfully... it all blew past us. : )
Liz was such a Help... at this show.
Oh My.
We were loaded Heavy... Mark and I both were, to the point... we didn't share a booth.
We each had More than enough to fill our own.
It worked out Great!
The above image... is what our booth looks like... after unloading.
We had to get walls up... around... this Mountain.
{rugs down... Lights...run...}
oh dear.
Yes... Liz... was Great Help!!!

| Liz found this Dolly... for Miss. Scarlett, during set up. She had to buy it for her. It looks just like one, I had given Liz for Christmas, when she was Miss. Scarlett's age. : ) Scarlett fell fast asleep... with her Baby.... during set up. : ) Priceless.... |

We did lots of lighting... {Thanks, to Liz. : ) }
The Booth, many said... was 'Magical'.

{They had to duck... under Greenery... : ) when they entered....
Just... like the rabbit hole....
It was very... 'Cozy'... : ) }

{My neck... is some better. I stayed in bed all day, yesterday.
I broke down... and took a muscle relaxer/ pain killer.
I can turn my head, a bit...today.
Maybe... it's just a knotted muscle.
It hurt so bad on Sunday... I was sick to my stomach.
Thank God... for the Kids... helping load.
oh my.
I had a melt down... over the weekend.
I Barked... at a couple of Dear Folks... and... later, I thought...
"That... sounded like my Mother."
I didn't like it.
: (
I apologized to the Folks.
I Love them...Dearly... and would never have done that...
had I not been... Far Gone.
I am wound so tight.
so...very... very...tight.
When a Spring lets go....
well... The Mad Hatter...
isn't pretty.
I don't ever remember... feeling as vulnerable... as I did...just prior to the melt down.
I don't ever... remembering feeling so lost, abandoned... and out of control.
For someone... like me, feeling 'helpless'... is quite an Ugly...Thing.
inside...
and
out.
I Snapped.
Maybe, that's why... I've kept to myself...so much, this last year and a half.
I can turn myself 'on'... for Business....
but...
when the lights go out...
the feet go up....
and...
after a little, or a Lot... of Fireball....Patron... and other 'refreshing beverages'....
{Once I got started...that evening... I didn't quit.
It was all so Much Fun... : )
until... it wasn't. }
I think...it's best...if I keep to myself....
'after hours'.
: )
I think... like 'The Hatter'... I am... a bit 'mad'.
Like a 'mood ring'... I wear my emotions... on my sleeve.
The Hatter, was 'Mad'... from his exposure to Mercury...
me...
'Life'.
I'd like to blame my insanity on Patron. : )
no.
Mine... comes from 'Life'. Lots... of Life. : )
I wouldn't change... a moment...of it.
{well... I'd change a Lot of Moments... of 'Loss'...
All of Those.
The Struggles...
no. }
but... like an Old Clock... that's been wound... pretty tight...
: )
When the 'Click' breaks....
run.
I am Blessed... to have Angels... in my life.
The one's with Perfect Wings.
Or have a few... with 'singed' ones...
: )
like mine, and Peg's... {and a few others... <3 }
that between us all.... our wings... will keep us off the ground. ; )
May God... Bless Us. <3 }
