A Snapshot of a Store to Come, or Holy Cow, There's A Lot to Set Up!

We met some of the coolest folks, saw some great vintage tractors, and heard some neat old hit and miss engines when we set up our Positively Prairie tent out at this year's Antique Tractor and Small Engine Show. Oh yes, we also sold lots of treasures!

The weather was beautiful, with only one early morning shower, the temperature not too bad for mid June in central Texas and the atmosphere was charged with lots of good folks celebrating the history of America.

So many goodies!

Burlap and Calico Sign.  Yes, these are pegboards from school - lucky for me hubby works for our school district!

Hubby looks thrilled!

Prim Dolls and two great window screens from my in-laws make a great display

Mom's chilling!

Great restored Farmall tractor!

Creative use of a garden tiller and a small trailer!

I have to share the story one lady told us that was too cute.  This was a lady in her retirement years and somehow we got on the topic of how important it is to keep a sense of humor in a lasting relationship.  She told us that she was a city girl that had caught the eye of a farm boy in school.  So there they were, out on their first date.  She was quite nervous and really didn't know the boy that well.  They were out in the country, driving to another town for a dance, bouncing along in his old beat-up farm truck with manual everything, dents, etc.  I am picturing something from the 40s that had given it's all to hauling lots of stuff needed on the farm.  Anyway, he stops the truck on this rural road and tells her he needs to go wee.  Naturally, she was embarrassed and wondering where she should be looking to avoid this private moment.  Not to fear!  He jumped out of the truck and ran around it yelling WEE,  WEE, WEE, then he got back in and proceeded to drive on.  Apparently he was checking to see if she had a sense of humor; they've been together over 50 years, so it worked out alright!

I love stories like these that are so funny and innocent.

Do you have a great courtship story to share?  I'd love to hear from you!

Have a blessed day!
