My son, my finger, my first show

It has been 3 weeks since the dreaded "finger incident" 

things have not slowed down

not one bit

My finger has healed better than I ever imagined

so much better

oh so much better

and

things are just clicking along

just two days before we head to LaBahia for

Antiques Week in Warrenton/Round Top

this will be my first show with my very own booth

so excited, so nervous

My hard working man has the trailer 3/4 packed...

just a few boxes and misc windows, doors, chairs etc to put in

and because we are in no rush :}

we headed to Nacogdoches to see our son in the

Lumberjack Marching Band this past weekend

Yep, that is him in all his handsomeness...

he hates hats...so as soon as there is a break

he frees his head

this little circle thing is something the saxophones do after the halftime performance

artsy kids

you never know what they will come up with

they are involved in some kind of special dance

they have the best time in this band!

while we were waiting for the band to enter the stadium

we relaxed under a beautiful tree

and to the left of this tree is the student tailgating section

Troy and I walked through this once

I didn't belong

oh my

let's just say

oh my

anywho....

I have had tons of help before and since my

"finger incident"

here we have all hands on deck to remove the thousands of nails and staples from a chair to be re-upholstered....not looking like it is going to make the cut for this show though

My sister

I looove my sister!!!

She called the week I had my 

"finger incident" 

and said...."I need to help"

I told her I was ok but she insisted

so Saturday morning a couple of weeks ago she shows up

to help

with this

big

ole

cinnamon roll

it doesn't look very big here but 

let. me. tell. you.

that plate measures 9 inches across

there you go

yes

I ate it

ok

she also came walking in with a pan of homemade burritos

did I mention that I love my sister?

we spent all day putting together weathered boards to make some signs for the show

she was such a huge help

since my finger was wrapped like this

is that not hilarious?

I mentioned to the nurse at the orthopedic surgeons office

that it is amazing how often you hit your middle finger

she said "oh, ok, I'll give you a little extra padding"

really? talk about hard to work with....

ok...time to get busy...

I will take pics as things progress in a few days

at least it is cooler

down to 90

woohoo!!!
