We survived our nine-day little long visionquest.
Drive old van to Grand Marais, Minnesota for lovely profitable art fair. Drive home. Switch vehicles. Drive old Buick to Lexington, Kentucky. Yes, the "Kindness of Strangers" Tire Story is yet to come. Enjoy nutsy one and a half days in Model Horse Buddy Bubble. Say "goodbye" a night earlier than planned. Drive to same motel as we stopped at on drive down. Luck into the last room - A Simple Room. (That could be another story.)
Drive all day Friday. Of course we stopped at an antique shop or two. Have good dinner at Texas Roadhouse in Eau Claire. Get home a bit before dark. Check out woodchuck garden chomping - sigh. Sleep a little.
Switch back to van in early morning, and drive south again - but just to Stockholm, Wisconsin. The Mayflies are resting on the two white booths to our left. And on the picnic tables, portable toilets, and trash containers. Soon they will be attempting to rest on us....
We did the show, packed up dry, helped other pals pack up not quite dry, wait in line for dinner and beer under pavillion roof, while thunder and lightning close in, but not too close. Yup. Rained. But Todd and a friend pulled a table under entertainment tent, so a small gang of us ate dinner dry-ish.
Say goodbye to those friends. Head for casino. Todd wins! I draw a good band as O.K. bears. I love that tiny metal case with gouache and watercolors - and those brushes with water in their handles.
We drive home.
Sunday was No Plans Sunday.
But eventually a plan evolved.
Involving another pal and Italian food and more Italian goodies.
The days are sneaking back to normal....
I almost miss The Quest.
Fare-thee-well,
Sue
