My Beautiful New Fountain...

Rick fixed the liner in my pond so I could run my new fountain. It's soooo calming and beautiful. I love

angels! Come visit for a little time in my oasis. I'm home most days!

Wild Ride....

It was a wild ride at Thursdays on First yesterday in downtown Rochester! We fought 40-50 mph wind gusts all day long and the market ended up closing at 6:30pm for weather. Seriously- I lost $150 retail value in merchandise! Thankfully made up for it in sales but wouldn't do it again if you paid me! Last week we had rain and I left early and now this- -It's got to get better than this right? Ugh!

All Washed Up...

So today was opening season for Thursday's on First in downtown Rochester. Last year was amazing! This year...if today was any indication, is not so much! It rained all day up until 3:00pm and just as the skies were getting lighter and the rain was stopping the organizer came around to tell everyone that 30mph winds were on their way. So in a panic I packed up all my glassware and displays that I spent 2.5 hours setting up and hauled it by hand to my car (I didn't think I needed my hand cart today) . A big HOLLER goes out to 3 very lovely vendors near me that helped me to haul it all. On my way home the skies were clearing and the wind never appeared. I was soooo disappointed to see all the people at the market when I watched the 6pm news. I could've been there! Uuugh! Oh well, I had to make a  decision to take the chance and stay or play it safe and save thousands of $$ in inventory and displays.  I have a whole summer of events to participate in so I needed to play it safe. That's the way it rolls I guess. You win some-you lose some. It's a gamble and our weather is so unpredictable. I at least made $100+ more than I needed to pay my rent for the day so I won't complain too loud. Pray for me next week and come on out to see Thursday's on First! It's sooo much fun!!

Guess where Jamey and Kate are?

Maybe someday I'll get to Paris France too but in the meantime I'll live vicariously through them. Beautiful!

Have fun in Germany and France! Bring back lots of pictures!
