Update…

We got home at 5pm today (Monday) Thought I would do a recap. Back in the 90’s we did the Crozet show several years, then switched to a different area. Linda thought it would be fun to go back. So Wednesday was load the van…as you can see, I couldn’t squeeze in another thing! Linda wanted plenty of stock.


Thursday morning we headed out with plans to stop at a few historic places for new subjects.
Aww. but the best laid plans...

Yes, that's our van up on the tow truck.  The bad news: she tore a belt.  The good news: I could (barely) get off  busy Route 81 and into a parking lot.  We have AAA and a local garage could squeeze me in.  Lost 4 hours so no stopping.   Good News: We had a very nice studio air B&B.  Bad news: Up a long flight of steps to the 2nd floor and NO TV!
Friday was set up.  We had to dolly across a large park... far!  No driving on the not very nice Park grass.  Show  Saturday and Sunday.  Beautiful weather.  Sales were OK not fabulous.  They had a little sticker shock with the originals.   Pack up and dolly across the Park which took 3 full long hours.  I can safely say that was my swan song in Crozet.  Monday we managed to make one of our missed stops.   Belle Grove Plantation in Middletown, VA.  Paid our $14 a piece, went inside with our guide, only to be told NO PHOTOS!!  The whole point was to get new subjects!  We got home, I unpacked and went out for a bike ride.  I lost 5 days of riding for Cancer.  I'll give that update tomorrow.  Home never looked so good!
