happy to be home

Were home from the Fairbanks Rain Ice and Smoke Festival :roll: ....at last, and mostly in one piece...one cold, damp, cranky piece. :lol:

I cant believe how brutal this year was. Pretty much whatever could go wrong...did :evil:

Horrible weather (rain every day, below freezing at night), forest fires, our trailer's electric and heat not working, our new tent leaked like a sieve, I lost my glasses :x , our sales were down (by about 30%...Im grateful, actually...many folks were down as much as 70% :( ), and on the way home, the roof of our trailer started peeling away! 8O

SHEESH!

Today, my dogs and I are happily curled up on the couch doing absolutely nothing. Tomorrow I start prepping for state fair part 2... The Palmer Fair starts weekend after next. Wish me...er...luck? Or...survival? Or something...? :? :lol:

Well geeez :cry: Sorry so much went wrong. At least you are all safe and sound and curled up together. I wouldn't go far from the couch all day! Maybe not tomorrow either!
I wish you....an uneventful event. With lots of sales and no peeling roofs... 8)

On the bright side, at least you didn't have a problem keeping the dogs cool... :sidestep:

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Doesn't sound like much fun, no. But you're home, sweet home. Enjoy it and recharge.

:evil: yeah, there was that! :evil: I was soooo worried about over-heating...I shaved them both to the skin! 8O :cry: My poor babies! They wound up wearing layers of jackets and curled up in blankets too most of the time. on the bright side, there was a nearby booth selling dog supplies, and I think I made her fair! :lol: She sold these awesome rubber disposable booties that were a lifesaver in the muddy conditions of the fairgrounds...Ill post some pics and the name of the company when Ive unpacked a bit! :D
Poor puppers! (and you guys too, of course :oops: )
But, at least you can put layers on them (and you) to warm up. Just plain miserable when it's too hot and can't take things off :wink:

I hope the camper gets well soon - it's needed pretty soon for the next event. 8O
I'm going to wish for you NO RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh... I so remember how August was, and that can't help at all. At least you get a DAY of rest. 8O Too busy for me!!
