#46--Sunday night--tired but a bit richer

Sunday night and all are well on their way to being asleep. Breakdown was minimal since we are here again next weekend and we are under a big tent. We did what needed to be done and then headed to Applebee’s for dinner. Not much conversation there—Yuliya was exhausted. Dropped her off at the trailer and then we headed up to the casino for a quickie. Not much luck there so we were home by 9 and Yuliya was already asleep. She said she was even too tired to put on her jammies. Welcome to our world of doing art fairs. No doubt tomorrow will involve sleeping late and being pretty low key.

The good news is that we have had a good first half of show. It’s the second best, 1st weekend we have had, so that is a very good thing. Hopefully next weekend will hold. Rain today cancelled balloon stuff so that helped us and people still seem to be spending money. Probably won’t be a record breaker, but at least it won’t be the bust we were almost expecting. The most common artist’s comment was “It’s better than I expected…” We have a couple more shows after this one and it will be interesting what will happen with those. Ballooning is a rich persons sport…

Don’t know what our plans are for the week. I have a feeling it will involve shopping, good lunches, sleeping late, and an occasional margarita. Oh—and maybe a casino run or two…sounds pretty decadent doesn't it?

We will probably just stay here at the show site. It’s only costs $50 for the entire 2 wks and is well located to what we want to do. The bad thing is that we will have to hook up about every other day and go dump and get water, but it’s less than 2 miles away so I guess it’s a small hassle. Of course if something better comes up we would no doubt be able to change our plans—remember—we are flexible!

Guess it’s time to join the sleeping beauties. Looks like it’s just me to walk the dogs. Our generator has to be turned off by 10:30 but we do have several TV stations so we are feeling pretty uptown. But I forgot how depressing the media is…
