I warned you!

Don't say I didn't warn you.  This is what Paply's Gifts & Antiques parking lot looked like on June 5.  And these pics WEREN'T taken when the BIGGEST crowd was there.  And I didn't take a single pic of the people INSIDE the store.  You couldn't stir 'em with a stick, they were so thick.  If you STILL don't believe me after I've provided you with the proof, then you better make plans now to be there July 3 and see the madness for yourself.  And don't say I didn't warn you, 'cause I did.

This mouse is outta' here.  I'm still recovering from the invasion that occurred on First Saturday.  So until the next time, this is Vinnie Mouse saying, "Au Revoire!"

Help! The masses are coming!

Do you know what Saturday is?  FIRST SATURDAY AT PAPLY'S!  And, yes, I screamed that...and not in a nice way.  I bet you'd scream, too, if you lived here--or anywhere near here, for that matter.  I was eavesdropping--my favorite pastime--and heard Mike on the phone talking to someone who wanted to rent one of the spaces in the parking lot for the big Saturday sale, and he said, "Sorry.  We are already full." 

Full??  Oh, woe is me.  That means there's going to be people in the parking lot with stuff to sell, people in the parking lot wanting to buy the stuff for sale, cars everywhere, people everywhere, furniture being hauled in and out of the store all day long....  I will no sooner find a hiding place, than someone will be grabbing it and hauling it away.  I'll be scurrying and scurrying all day long, trying my darnedest to keep from being discovered.  Does anyone have an aspirin?  I feel a headache coming on. 

I'd tell you not to come Saturday to shop, but you might as well join the mob who'll be here.  Besides, I'd feel really guilty if you'd been eyeing a particular item and it sold and you weren't here to buy it, just because I told you not to come. 

I gotta go batten down the hatches, or whatever it is they say when they tie down everything they don't want to lose in a storm. 

This is Vinnie Mouse, saying, "Au revoir!"
