Lydia's wedding

We made it to Lydia's wedding without a hitch, made it back home no prezzies from dogs, Praise God!  Lydia looked exquisite in her gown with one strap across shoulder.

Well I got to Mendon about 8:50 a.m. passed Leah on street she was going opposite way to Chupp, I was on Spring Creek.  She was getting cherries.  Toby got on bike and followed her, I stayed in driveway in my car and prayed.

we went down to Orpha's about 9:45 - 10:00 ish.  Sarah didn't come, is helping Esther her sister with new 5 day old baby Rosellen.

We went to Sturgis and went to Mexican Market first, 11:00.  I overshot it by block and went round block. Ladies took 2 hours there, it seemed, ok maybe an hour. We went to Goodwill next.  Leah bought fish at Mexican mkt and ate in car. I asked them to clean up their messes and not treat my car as a restaraunt. They never stopped eating in my car, just ate and ate junk food the entire time I drove.

At the Goodwill I found a size 20 French Blue suit with skirt and matching blazer, polyester, for 10.00 to wear to Lydia's wedding.

We went to Walmart next.  Then to E&S.  My car was getting heavy.  We found a garage sale and ladies bought books, added to weight of car.  (poor struts).

we went to Rosemary's overshot road CR 24 and checked back of business card where the directions to her house were.  Leah got us there and home again.

At Rosemary's Orpha did not show any artwork, but just talked. Leah did show a few pieces, but I can tell both women were uncomfortable talking about selves and accomplishments.  Orpha does cutting and is very good at that. Rosemary showed her a book with more ideas on that.  Leah showed Rose colored pencil cards that Sharon and Sarah did.  Rose asked me last what I was up to and I showed her the colored border calligraphy with gold ink part of it, and gave her a piece of it.  She wanted to see my Chinese Calligraphy. I didn't have any to show her today.

Storm.

It's father's day, it's raining storming and I have to get off computer soon.

I have a headache, sunburn.  It's warm, not too hot, 73 degrees,  humid.  Storm to south of us. I was in Three Rivers today. I did a little girl's name in calligraphy and it didn't come out well. She took it but I could tell she didn't like it.  Someone asked me for 2 dragon flies. They wanted them touching. (on top of eachother?) I painted them separate.  She passed and kept her money. I feel bad. All this money I've invested in my booth and I've only made about 7.00 so far this year.  Need to paint better signs.  Need new "trick" for public. Maybe my calligraphy is bad because of pointed pen practice with light-table almost daily, when I do italic I'm stilted.  I need to overcome even this.

Paul was a loyal companion and good packer.

I got paid from PSI 35.00.  I spent 12.00 sending their footpedal back.  I'd like to transcribe for a company that had my trust and understanding.

I worked for 2 days for PSI (Private Secretary Inc.) and quit.  They said I made stuff up.  I didn't appreciate that and I don't agree with them.

6/13-15 is the Waterfest in Three Rivers.  I have opportunity to vendor 7a-7p 3 days in a row.  I'd have to leave Paul at home.

I'd like to but I'm not sure if it is a good idea.  I'd have to leave my booth alone to go to the bathroom and leave my stuff unguarded.

I did work Waterfest, twittered a couple of pictures and googled a couple others. got sunburnt.  got discouraged.  didn't work that long:  from 10:30 to about 12:30,  but had to let the dogs out in Portage.
