THREE RIVERS FESTIVAL
This weekend, Sat. and Sun. July 12 and 13...was the Three Rivers Festival here in Fort Wayne.
After a very rainy start, making us late to set up, the rain cleared by noon and we had a wonderful festival. Saturday got very hot and by 2 pm I was done!
For you who don't know, Tammy and I make and sell jewelry at festivals and flea markets. I don't do much of the selling end anymore, but decided to work the Three Rivers with her, thinking I could always get someone to bring me home if I got sick. WRONG! perhaps I could have gotten a ride home...in fact, I know I could have....but first I would have had to walk two blocks to the car. Now, I can't easily walk the length of our mobile home...80 feet. So, once I got there I was stuck.
Altie worked with us on Saturday and it was a good thing, because we were busy!People went crazy over our cheaper jewelry...for children....and our ankle bracelets. Most of the afternoon, all three of us were working. People were lined up three deep trying to get to the ankle bracelets. Finally, Tammy removed some items that were'nt selling, and divided the anklets and the childrens bracelets...putting them on two tables, one on each side of our booth. That helped with the crowds...and the sales!! After 2, I pulled up a chair in the shade of the tent and only filled in when Tammy and Altie were too busy. When I got home, I said...that's it for me. I can't go tomorrow. And then Altie said she didn't think she'd be able to work Sunday either. Knowing Tammy couldn't handle it by herself, I dragged my aching body out of bed this morning and went with her. And lo, and behold...before we even got set up, Altie was there...bless her heart.
And Sunday was just as busy as Saturday, so Praise the Lord for me being able to help out...what little I did. We probably sold 7 or 8 hundred ankle bracelets...couple hundred kids bracelets and rings, as well as 50 or 60 towels. We sold a few pieces of our Swarovski jewelry...but the majority was the cheaper stuff. All in all, it was a great weekend for us. We took in more money than we ever have in two days. The weather could not have been better, after the initial rainy start. Thank you, Lord!!

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
This is too funny...I just had to post it.
WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD ?
Have fun adding one more of your own and
share with sender.
NOW, why did the chicken cross the road?*
BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!
JOHN McCAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.
HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the big road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure -- right from Day One! -- that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.......
DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on THIS side of the road before it goes after the problem on the OTHER SIDE of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his CURRENT problems before adding NEW problems.
OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the other chickens.
GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.
COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road...
ANDERSON COOPER - CNN: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.
JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.
NANCY GRACE: That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.
PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.
DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, But why he crossed I've not been told.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain. Alone.
JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth? That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side.' That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.
GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
BARBARA WALTERS: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heartwarming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its lifelong dream of crossing the road.
ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.
BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2008, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken2008. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra. ..#@&&^(C% .........Reboot.
ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of CROSSING ?
AL GORE: I invented the chicken!
COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?
DICK CHENEY: Where's my gun?
AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.
BILL COSBY : "Who be crossin' and why he be ?" If you can't speak English, you'll never be able to cross the road ! mlc
THE POET: Ode to the feathered fowl, whose mind could not be made; to cross yon winding road,
or rest in the elmish shade. (char s)
BAPTIST PREACHER: Repent, oh dearly beloved chicken, let Jesus into your heart. Then when you get run over by a car, trying to cross the busy road, You will dwell in the Lord's chickenhouse forever.
