Do anything over the weekend?

This past weekend we went up to Meadows of Dan for the VA State Peach Festival. A very sweet little fest with local crafts and locally grown peaches/ apples/ etc. Bought a couple little things and took the old boy Max along for the drive. The ride back down the mountain we came via Rte 8 and drove through Floyd. An odd hamlet occupied with a mixture of older hippies, artisans and mountain folk. I am going to start taking my vehicles to a shop up there which is " the home of the hateful mechanic". Sounds like my kinda fixit guy.

This coming weekend is the annual Labor Day Flea Market in Hillsville, VA. The entire city/ town becomes a flea market! They expect upwards of 500,000 folks showing up! Dear God, I know I will lose the girl. Thinking we may get a hotel so we can do both days, and so I can go hide when it becomes overwhelming!
Here's to life in small town USA!
