What a really strange day I had today. While I was getting ready for my judging this morning my sister-in-law calls me and informs me my brother had a major heart attack. He had total blockage of one artery and 3 others are 80% blocked. They put in a stint and "fished out" blood clot causing the blockage. They haven't decided what to do with the other 3 yet, medication or stints, or whatever they do. From what I remember Robbin telling me, he will need major heart surgery sometime down the line but I don't remember what she said for. I just talked with him and he is doing ok. He is in Lancaster Co. so I will be going up there tomorrow to see him.
Not knowing what to do, hubby told me to go to my judging and take it from there. I felt like another person was doing the talking for me. It was quite interesting. They asked all kinds of questions. It was 1/2 hour of questions and answers. They were very nice people and interested in what I had to say. They wanted to know how I sold besides at shows. I told them I did special orders and the one clock was actually a customer's order and I told him he couldn't have it until tomorrow. Hubby put in his 2 cents worth which was really quite valuable. They have 4 woodworkers and only allow 5 of a particular vendor in to keep things interesting. I got the feeling if someone didn't come up with something better, I would be invited. If not, I was guaranteed a spot for next year as they were rotating out a woodworker. They only keep you for 4 years unless your item is in demand, like the man who makes children's board games. Note to self - take lots of children's items. I also sold $100 worth of items!! I told hubby I was putting it away and if I got in, that would be one third of my fee!! LOL
Bottom line, please say prayers for my brother. He's the only sibling I have and would like to keep him around for a long long time. He'll be 59 next month. The show? If I make it in, fine if not fine also. Kind of puts things in perspective, doesn't it?
