My slippery friend IV

We had a fun day today. We had breakfast and started our laundry after a bit of a wait as there are only two machines to use. While the laundry was washing, we took apart the equipment in the back of the truck, unloading it, determining what we needed to use and what we could put aside. The show we have next weekend is a lot like Peter Anderson with set up at 4 am Saturday morning. There is also the additional problem of parking for the artists being 2 1/2 miles away.

We had a lot of discussion about which tent to use after checking the weather. (There is a chance of rain.) After careful consideration, we decided to use the pop up tent as it may save our marriage in the long run. Needless to say at 4 am I want everything to be as easy as possible. We  will be using the new covered sides as well. They worked beautifully last weekend and I'm sure they will be perfect again. This time we have the added fun of a quad system. (4 tents together) These quads have one foot of space behind the tent, and it has to be shared with our neighbor. We kept out enough poles to make a 2 ft storage inside the tent. Both of our carts, storage bags, extra poles and my tall chair all have to fit in this back area. It should be interesting to say the least. It took quite a while, but we got the truck repacked and everything in place.

After we finished the truck,  we decided to go find bolts for a chair we have that broke the first night we arrived. While on that run, we went to Michaels as well because I did not bring enough canvases to paint on while we are on this trip. Lunch found us at Wendy's for a quick bite. 

We then did something we both love to do, find a Goodwill and poke around. While checking out at the first store we were told about another one nearby. We went to that one as well, picking up a couple of items needed and wanted. I actually found an almost new Johnny jump up for our grandson in India as well as a couple of bibs. 

Back at the wagon, Chris repaired the chair while I  painted.

We also gave a 'tour' of the wagon for a couple from New York. They were absolutely fascinated with all the little touches we have in the Gypsy Gal. We decided on leftovers for dinner, and then went to see a movie. The movie we went to see was Mary Poppins Returns and was worth every penny it cost! It was visually stunning, and had it's own wonderful story line and beautiful music as well.

All in all, a wonderful evening and lovely way to spend New years eve!

Happy New Year to all!
