Arrived at VMD, around 8:30 this Beautiful...
Mother's Day Morn,
began Fluffin' The Booth.
; )
We'd left it in a bit of a mess, last night.
Was Grateful to see, Pal, Bill... and Steph had moved the Big Arch, front and center, while I was strapping down the Gazebo, on The Ford.
They Placed It...
Perfectly!!
<3
Certainly not as Impressive, as The Beautiful Gazebo, but...
it was Much Better, than a Gaping Hole!!
; )
{LOVE Those Garden Arches!!}
: )
It was Pure Torture... setting up across from Our Lovely...
Paducah, Kentucky...Neighbors.
; )
Seriously!!!

: )
'Chocolate Moonshine'.

They Have AMAZING Fudge, and Treats!!!
GADS!!

Fun Folks!!
All of our Neighbor's were Amazing.

Sold Many, Many... Mushrooms, of All Shapes and Size, over the last 3 days.
: )
The above, Young Man, Connor, picked my Favorite, today.
; )
Love That Teal Blue.
; )
Was Sooooo Excited to purchase the above, from Fellow Vendor,
and Pal...
Dori.
<3
Have the Mirror image, of the above...
Post Card... size.
The Post Card... dates from the early 1900's.
I've Treasured that old Post Card, for decades.
Keep it under a cloche, in the lower Bath.
<3
Don't believe the 'painting' or, 'print' of a painting, is as early...
No Matter.
Love IT!!
<3
Have a Perfect Spot, for the much Larger 'Painting'.
Love It.
<3
So Grateful...
Helper, Brandon, and Justin 'J'... were able to help me load out.
; )
Tho... there wasn't a lot left, it was still... a lot of work.
We got 'er Done.... Quick.
: )
<3
I'll write, in more detail... about VMD, tomorrow.
; )
I'm a bit 'Done'... for this day.
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.
Barb C.
{Had an Interesting encounter, today... with a Gal.
; )
She stopped in front of the booth, and said...
"Barb!!!... Do You Remember Me!!??"
{always love it, when I'm asked that.}
; )
Uh.....
She said... "I'm Tina, from 'Linn Junction' days."
<3
{I... Lived on Horseback, in Linn Junction.}
{THAT WAS 50 Years Ago!!
Several 'Lifetimes'... ago.
Miles, and Miles... and, Miles... ago.}
; )
Yes, I did recall... Tina.
; )
<3
then...
I asked 'Tina'...
"How... in The World, did You... recognize me????"
; )
Tina's reply...
"Barb, you look exactly the same!! You haven't changed One Bit!!"
: )
Hahahahahahahaha!!!
; )
Bless Tina's Heart!!!
Hahahahahaha!!!
Apparently, to Tina...
I haven't 'Changed a Bit'... since I was 12 years old.
; ) ; ) ; )
Love It!!
<3
We Exchanged Many Hugs, and Memories.
; )
got... a little,
'misty-eyed'...
too.
Priceless.
<3
Always think of my Best Friend, Dorene, when I hear the above tune.
<3
Dorene, and I... Lived on Horseback, in the 1970's.
We were Inseparable.
: )
Dorene lived in Linn Junction, {N.E. Cedar Rapids} where I rented pasture for our Horses, Ponies... and Mules.
<3
We rode Horses... from Dawn, until Dark, every day we could.
; )
I was one of Dorene's Pallbearer's, in 1979, after she was tragically killed in a head on crash, on Highway 151, between Springville, and Marion, Iowa.
I've visited Dorene's Grave, most... every year, since.
; )
<3
so... often, wonder...
'Where', and 'Who'... She'd 'Be' 'Today'.
<3
<3 <3 <3
