It was off to Hudsonville to re-stock the booth. The truck was full of goodies, so we couldn’t wait to get there.
Before we left, Kelli heard of a bed-frame for free, so she called her Dad to take me to pick it up. When we got there it was leaning up against the barn, and it was tall. There was no way that it would fit in the back of his truck. So we came up with the idea of standing it on the tail-gate vertically, and tying it down. Fortunately, the shape of the glass hatch would stop the bed from moving, so a couple of bungees and off we went.
Surprisingly we made it without incident, so that is now stored in the garage.
There were a couple more items sold since we saw the devastation on Saturday, but Kelli had an idea of how the booth should look.
At the end it looked really good.
One of our pieces had a “hold” ticket on it, which later, we learned, was not purchased, boo hoo! I hate it when that happens.
That would have taken us to our sales target for the month, but with all the good new stuff, we should get there anyway.
After leaving Hudsonville, we had to deliver the island unit to somewhere out in the sticks. Now Holland has a lot of “out in the stick” places so this was somewhere new.
The couple were delighted with it, and it will take pride of place in their new kitchen.
That was a good feeling, when someone appreciates the work that has gone into something.
Another Lifetime to go
