I am not sure where this summer went, I still have some annuals that I haven't planted and part of me still thinks it's June. I know you have such a great attitude and will always remember your foray into shopmistressdom with fond sighs:)<br /><br />My Mom and Dad did OK with Irene. I think it was more central Vt that was devastated, they suffered with flooding in May, but didn't even lose their power with Irene. Us? We lost it Sunday at noon and were not fully functional until Thursday night. What a drag, but we had nice candles and I had a booklight..possibly the best invention since electricity :)Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17228344764544525919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-59054511137226985802011-09-04T16:17:23.552-04:002011-09-04T16:17:23.552-04:00Mary, I'm so sorry to hear that you'll be ...Mary, I'm so sorry to hear that you'll be closing down your booth at Suzanna's. I'm even more sorry (and embarrassed!) that I never made it over to see you AND your wares. Maybe I can try to make a trip by there the next time we drive in to Raleigh. Otherwise, maybe we'll run in to you and Bob (again!) next weekend at the Hot Sauce Contest in Oxford!! Keep in touch. All the best. <br /><br />Dorothy~Dorothy Blum Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03170983936533151332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-52032010980603412942011-09-04T15:33:52.903-04:002011-09-04T15:33:52.903-04:00Has it already been 12 months!

Time DOES fly by in may ways and that never ceases to amaze me...as well as the fact of my own years having flown by so that now I'm in my 60s...no big deal, just rather amazing. You gave your darling little shop a good go, but as you say, those sorts of commitments do take lots of time and attention...and having your time free for more travel adventures will be marvelous.Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-2838436801965362472011-09-04T11:26:57.802-04:002011-09-04T11:26:57.802-04:00You will miss your little shop, I am sure.

Your enthusiasm really shines through, so even if you give up your booth you can still be part of it as a visitor and friend. Making time for all the things we want to do is a real balancing act, sometimes it means making hard choices.<br /><br />I am looking forward to sharing your trip. Not being good on water, get bad sea sickness, this will be the nearest I get to a cruise!<br />Yes I can image your waterproofs and thermals will be playing a big part of your wardrobe., not evening dresses. <br />Have a peaceful weekend, now the hurricane has gone. The shells on the beach would have had me filling my collecting bag. Here it is absolutely pouring with rain and a blanket of grey mist. <br />EileenxMILLYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701141335185294744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-69951059621830275872011-09-03T05:41:09.599-04:002011-09-03T05:41:09.599-04:00Hi Mary,

I used to sell at antique and collectors fairs but I'm afraid the packing and unpacking, and lugging the stock in and out of the attic got a bit much. Now I 'do' an occasional one just to get rid of the remaing stock. I have no doubt you will miss your booth, but as you say it's not goodbye.<br />Your travels are wonderful, and I enjoy reading about them and seeing your fabulous photos. <br />Have a fun weekend!<br />Rose HRose H (UK)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03502158211136467582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-9263137822986343022011-09-03T01:48:49.772-04:002011-09-03T01:48:49.772-04:00I love being retired.
