72°f/22°C, breezy and light overcast. Need rain.
Heavy work the last 2 days! On Thursday, we drove to the Parkersburg area to pick up a couple pieces of furniture, and met some really nice people. At the first place, the lady said, "So you live in Ripley?"
"Well, not exactly," I said. "Between Ripley and Spencer."
"My daughter is married to a man whose parents live out that way, on Joe's Run. Do you know where that is?"
"That's our road! Well, the one we take to get to our road."
"Their names are Randy and Carla. Do you know them?"
"They're practically our next-door neighbors!" I said. (They are about a mile from us, but that's next-door up here.)
Small world. But I always say West Virginia is just one small town. Talk to anyone long enough, you will know someone in common.
When we got home we had to unload that evening, because Friday was booth day. We skipped it last week, so we had plenty to do. Friday morning we loaded the white cupboard and 4 totes. At Farmhouse we took out the possum belly cabinet and put in the white cupboard. Loaded the possum belly and took it to Ravenswood since a green cabinet we had there had sold. A solid 5 hours of work, no lunch break, and we were done. And done in! But all looks good now.
I didn't take photos at Ravenswood, but here's some from Ripley.
I tried to echo the scene in the framed print, and got a little bit like it.
Not attractive!













That was quite a meeting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence, meeting people who know people very near your home. It's a small world.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a small world after all.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks nice.
I think you’re right about WV being one small town. I have found some amazing coincidences when I travel back to WV.
ReplyDeleteYou keep your booths fresh. Good thing for shoppers.
ReplyDelete...it sure is a small world.
ReplyDeleteMeeting the lady was a good start to your day! You have some beautiful things. I love crystal!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy window shopping your blog. Never heard of a possum belly cabinet. Looked it up. Turns out I've seen them, but didn't know their name. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it really is a small world. I once met a guy in Nigeria from our high school days. If either of us had been a minute later or earlier at the spot where we met it would never have happened.
