Mohawk, Oh, I noticed the belly shirt early in the day. But it was the rear view that inspired me to run over and shoot. The certificate is in the mail.

SN, I didn’t post how I had to sit down while loading the van afterwards because I thought I was going to faint. I now know that I can never be a contender on “The Amazing Race” because I had to run to catch the train back to Beacon at the end of the day and I just couldn’t.

We were told by everyone that we had the best location in the lot – a nice cross breeze and a big tree behind us. And we had our tent. The tentless vendors, especially in the center, must have felt like potatoes in the oven.

It really was too hot, though. Our neighboring vendors both looked like they were going to have heat stroke, and they left around 2:30. We left at 3:30, as there was just no business. Even those who came into the booth were too tired to look through the silverware, which is always a good seller for me. My business partner told me that she went home and got in the shower fully dressed just to cool off, after seeing kids on the block running through the hydrant.

I had to return the Zipcar. I will never complain about cold again. Until this winter, anyway. My worst day, financially. What small sales I had, I spent on the excellent lemonaide from the Red Hook Vendors, and a scoop of great organic ice cream. We wisely bought our own water.

Sigh.

Thanks Pixie, took you long enough to notice! I had to show it off to you all day! I’d like to thank the Plumbers association for teaching me my techniques! When do I get the certificate?
