Posted by Georgene Caulder on

I haven't posted any new adventures in quite some time and believe me it's not because nothing has happened.  Actually, too many things have happened to count.  Here is a brief outline of "Adventures" still to come. (Some I'll just list here, some I will expand upon in the future).  Check out previous blogs to get a glimpse of life on the road, including: "Halloween Horror in Huston": Or how our car caught on fire with the entire booth in it Had to disperse remaining inventory among other vendors so we could get to the next show - (See entry...
