Our show on Saturday wasn't one of our better ones in terms of money, but I enjoyed talking to some of the other vendors. We learn something new at each and every show we do so I never consider it a waste. The promoters did their job superbly so I can only think that maybe we were too close to others doing the same things we do. We have such a variety that it's kind of hard to isolate us.

I've had a productive morning so far. Got my workout in first thing. I have a load of laundry done, one in the washing machine, Madison has had her bottle and diaper change, I've made a batch of wildlife soap for this coming weekend. Other chores I have for today include:
pay bills
make a batch of CP soap (I am running low on Apple Jack)
Christmas stockings
Begin measuring the first hard oil for multiple CP soap batches
Make cookies

I think that's good for now.

Word of the day:
Monday of the Third week of Easter
Today the Church celebrates : St. Elphege, Archbishop and Martyr (954-1012)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 6:22-29.

[After Jesus had fed the five thousand men, his disciples saw him walking on the sea.] The next day, the crowd that remained across the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not gone along with his disciples in the boat, but only his disciples had left. Other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten the bread when the Lord gave thanks. When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus. And when they found him across the sea they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?" Jesus answered them and said, "Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled. Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal." So they said to him, "What can we do to accomplish the works of God?" Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent."
