The reason we were going to go to the motorcycle rally or run was because the organizer called us and said there was no one demonstrating the product hubby sells.
That was not true. We got all loaded up, and drove the forty minutes to get there only to find someone else selling.
If we wanted to stay and put up a booth it would have cost $35. We would not have made the money back, I do not think.
We came home. Hubby is napping and I am myLotting. Have a good day.

I do most of my walking behind the lawn mower. I am afraid of twisting my ankle and falling down. Guess I need a walking stick.

@amadeo I hear that walking sticks increase the intensity of your exercise. I think I will use a trimmed up limb from a hedgewood tree.

No, it does not. It actually has been quite a while since he has tried to go to a show.

@BarBaraPrz If I choose a good response to a situation it does not stress me as much.

@GardenGerty That's one way to look at it, better than getting upset about it.

That sucks you had to drive all that way for nothing. Hope you get to enjoy the rest of your day & can do something fun with the hubby.

I think Bob never made a firm commitment to going so they called until they got someone else. We really could not afford to spend vendor fees and not know if we would make the money back, so it's all good.

Yes, they do. I think hubby never followed up when the guy first invited him, so he found someone else.

Good choice to come home. Two people selling the same thing wouldn't have had many sales if any.
