Today we will have abundant sunshine, and hopefully, abundant sales! The High today is predicted to be 74F and the Low tonight is to be 49F. The Chance of rain is 0% which is good. The relative humidity is 82% and the dew point is 45F. The Barometer is steady at 30.06 inches. Our winds are light at 6MPH out of the West/Southwest. Our Sunrise came at 7:16AM and the Sunset is at 6:25PM.

We had a pleasant meal with Pauline last evening. It was expensive though. The First $14 Hamburger I have ever eaten. I suppose that is the way it is done here in the city. We returned to the room where I collected The Blue Dog and took her downstairs for a walk in the grass around the Bethesda Metro Station. We returned to the room, cleaned up and went straight to bed.

We are up this morning at 7:30AM and ready for our day. We hope all of the interested persons who stopped by yesterday will return today, to find a panel that works for them. We had one couple from Quantico Virginia who was very interested in a transom, but could just not make up their minds. They ended up purchasing a small 9" starry night in blue dichroic glass, and will try it. He sits on the Board for the Gulf Coast Arts Festival, and invited us to attend, assuring me we would be able to get into this prestigious festival. It is in two weeks. The only way we could do this festival is to bow out of the Boutique, something I am more than ready to do.

Well, it is time to get this room packed up and get down to the show. Lets see if we can't get some glass sold today!

Breakdown started at around 5PM and we had it completed by 7PM. After we had it all packed up we went to dinner at the American Tap Room. This was designed to help us avoid traffic around FedEx Field as the game was starting tonight at 8:30PM. The idea was to eat a nice meal, and avoid the game time traffic. It all worked perfectly, as we arrived home in time for the second half.

Tomorrow is close out and unload the truck, as I have to get to NJ for materials. Now we are into the big push. Two shows left, and than we are off to Florida. We have much to do between now and then. I must clean gutters, patch a flat roof leak, pack my studio, Sherry's studio, and the storage shed, in addition to the material run. It is a big deal, and a very big push, but I always look forward to it, as it means I am on my way to F.L.A. No cold! No wet! No Snow! No Cold Wind Blow! Just warm tropical breezes, citrus blossoms, and long fishing trips on the Creek. I am so very ready to head to my southern home!

Oh yeah. The sales were great! It was a good show, Sunday being better than Saturday.
