Saturday Priorities and Long Time Collector Friends

Saturday had a string of plans, all prioritized:

1) Finish the prom dress (it was a bust, so... CHECK!)

2) My sisters' birthday celebrations (the river flooded, plans changed, CHECK!)

3) Head to Indianapolis for a collectors get-together my friend, Pat, was having (BINGO!)

After I told my collector friends I would come down if I got the dress done and saw what the river did to the birthday plans, I was invited to another friend's surprise birthday lunch. I was sad to miss it, but I had already told Pat and Michelle I would be there. Bummer - I would have really liked to have gone to that lunch.

(You'll notice that cleaning and laundry aren't on the Saturday priority list. Hah!!)

So, since #1 and #2 were off the list, I drove down to Indianapolis to Pat Reed's mini show to visit with her, Michelle Evans, and other fellow collectors.

It was really nice to see both of them again - it has been over ten years! I rarely go to collector gatherings, although I did go to two shows and BreyerFest last summer. We talked and talked and talked, and I got to meet some of the new collectors in the Indiana area as well as some from Illinois, Ohio, and Kentucky who had also come to Pat's show.
