Aguanga Country Fair and Fundraising!

Today was so much fun at the Aguanga Country Fair. This was the first year, but I bet next year will be even better! I only made back the vendor cost, but I did get to hand out business cards and I met a caregiver. It was fun - alpacas, puppies, a goat that liked being scratched behind the horns, and the yarn spun from the most adorable alpacas ever, plus great company! I brought watermelon and cut it fresh there. It was so good! Nothing like fresh watermelon at a country fair. :)

However, since I didn't actually make any caregiving money, I'm putting some on eBay. Hopefully it does well there. I wish I knew what to do with some of the collectible yet practically-impossible-to-ship stuff. Like the typewriter from the 50's. it's awesome and everyone was drawn to it at the show (they all said their grandparents or parents had one), but they aren't collectors and don't see the value. Whatever the reason, they don't buy. Maybe I'll get lucky one of these days, like when that adorable teenager fell in love with the 1913 sewing machine. She was an aspiring fashion designer and wanted to stare at it for inspiration. It was meant to be. Let's hope it's also meant to be that we raise some money to bring the secondary caregiver back. Mom says she's starving to death with my cooking. :/

Also, getpear wants to feature our team on their site! So hoping that brings more readers. Then awareness and participation and fundraising and research and a CURE. I'm sure I'm getting ahead of myself, but how else do you move forward in the world?

Exhausted. Sleepy time, if nighttime snacker mom doesn't want eggs and hash browns cooked or apples cut or whatever else. :)
