Last Saturday, Chris and I spent the majority of the day at our booth at the Lawrence Flea Market. We have a lot of stuff and realized that we really wanted to get rid of some of it. It was hard work to dig through our stuff, price it, load it into the truck, unload it out of the truck, set it up, haggle, load up what we didn't sell. It was fun but tiring. We made a whopping $76 but sold almost 70% of our stuff. I don't think we'll do it again but we might try our hand at an antique mall booth. We'll see.
Later that day, exhausted, we hopped on a plane and flew to Chicago to hang out with my sister, her husband and our hilarious 2 year old niece, Hadley. She is a riot! She and Unkie Red formed a very close bond and by the end of the weekend she wanted mostly nothing to do with me. "Unkie Red?" "Where's Unkie Red?" "No! Unkie Red?" Fine with me because it was really fun to watch them bond. Chris hadn't seen her in a year! We love where they live. There is so much to do! The Children's Museum, The Grove (with walking trails), the Botanical Gardens and Wagner Farm. It's so much fun! We didn't want to leave.
