Liberty Grove Historical Society Vintage Market – 2

Today was the last of two Vintage Markets held at the Liberty Grove Historical Society Museum. Last month, I tried to sell some of my Halloween kits; this month I tried to sell Thanksgiving and Christmas kits.

And then, yesterday afternoon, he took off for an overnighter at Reedsburg, WI where there was to be a Legacy Ride today.

Mark and I like tart things and we each had a small bowl of it while it was still hot. It was so good!

That took time out of our schedule of getting ready to go home. Also, Mark had a roof job that just ended yesterday.
