Adventure at the Flea Market!

I went to work at the flea market in Hartville with Mike and Holly. All went well, made a bit of moolah.....So we start packing up the books and getting ready to leave the Flea Market and the wind starts getting fierce! We were booking it...um pun intended I guess...literally. Got all packed up and since there was stuff in the front of the cab, me and Mom (Holly) climbed in the bed of the truck. And Dad starts trying to get out of there. He was going to drop us off at the car which was parked by the entrance and we were going nowhere! Then the thunder and lightning started and then big fat huge raindrops! We got soaked immediately. So Holly and I ripped a huge empty cardboard box to put over us to keep the rain out of our eyes. Then after awhile it started disintegrating. Then it started a lighter steady rain. Wasn't too bad. So I came out from under the box and stuck a flap of cardboard inside a little wicker basket which I stuck on my head and tucked the handle under my chin! People were hootin and laughing at us. We each had a cup and were offering to "sell" glasses of water to passersby. Or asking "Alms for the poor?" Then we were singing "I am the 'Girl' of Constant Sorrow" by the Soggy Bottom "Girls". LOL. To keep my cell phone dry I stuffed it in my bra. All in all a fun day, way more fun than CVS!
