Mom and I traveled down to the center of the state to the Town of Murals (aka the Caladium Capital of the World!) for this weekend's craft show. We were going to try to meet up with her old boss who winters in Haines City, but, that gal took a tumble and wasn't able to join us. She is fine, but, sore!
We pulled into town Friday afternoon after lunch at Bob Evans...good salads...and unfortunately we sampled the cherry and banana breads too. Yes, they were good. BUT, it energized us to get setup QUICK. Partly because we wanted to get back to Sebring to check into the Kenilworth Lodge and partly because we wanted to go get a pedicure or see a movie. Instead we ended up shopping at their nice little Mall there. We got done after dark, so, we ate out (Bob Evans) again, and then headed back to the hotel to enjoy some TV...where of course there was nothing on!
The Kenilworth Lodge in Sebring.
Saturday was pretty chilly, but, not a cold as the prior week had been. The one where we had the fireplace running about 36 hours straight. It never made it into the 70's but it was pretty close, so it turned out to be a nice day. The crowds were really large there on Saturday...but business was down a bit. BUT, all my favorite customers from (Jan, Joan and Ann) the area showed up! Nice seeing you gals!
Saturday night we used a free entree coupon at Ruby Tuesday and went to check out the movies. Mom wasn't interested in any playing there, so, again we went back to the hotel. Tonight at least we had Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs on TV...and then a movie which I have already forgotten.
This is a bad picture, but, I had to turn around as we were driving around the Lake
at Sebring and go back to get this picture for Rod. You Gator fans will recognize a
blurry Albert...he's big like those big blowup Christmas decorations!!!
Sunday morning started out warmer and made it up into the mid-70's for a beautiful day. My day picked up nicely and with my sales from the day I made it almost to the level I had made last year. I think many of the vendors were hoping for a better show this year...in year's past we had to contend with the Super Bowl on Sunday. We were packed up in 40 minutes and on our way home. The ride home was quick and before we know it we were in the driveway and the guys were helping us unload.
All in all a nice girl's night out weekend. Looking forward to another two weekends off to spend with the folks.
