Well, we have had a busy weekend and 4th of July.  We went to Llano and had a very good learning experience for our first trade show.  It is a lot of work setting up a booth with all of the display stands and merchandise, but we did it.  It was a lot of fun, but we were exhausted when the day was done.  It was pretty hot and humid and Beth ended up with a pretty bad sunburn.  Did I say learning experience?  #1.  TAKE SUNSCREEN when you are at an outside show.  The other vendors were very friendly and helpful, and were very willing to give info on other shows and websites available.  We found out that there was a 4th of July show in Comfort on Wednesday, so we scrambled to see if we could get in on that show.  WE DID!  For several hours on the 4th we had a booth in Comfort, Texas.  We had a great bit of fun and sold our bags.  We are ready for our next show with experience under our belts now.

That is the question.  It has been raining Cats and Dogs here in ole S.A. and in Llano, Texas it has been raining even more.  We still don't know if our trade show is going to be cancelled or not, but we are packed and ready to leave.  We just don't know whether we should go or not.  We will be staying overnight in Kingsland which is just a hop and skip from Marble Falls where the major flooding is and Llano is just beyond that.  Oh well, only time and the clouds will tell.

Today was ribbon day.  We use a lot.  The lady at the store was really surprised at how many rolls of ribbon that I bought, which was probably around 50 rolls.  Gotta have a lot of colors and designs, but it is a lot of fun choosing them.  Tessie doesn't get to do this part of it the business, but she also doesn't like doing it either.
