The empty trailer and a dolly.
The stuff and some card board boxes.
A man's shaving mirror and a copper milking can.
Partly packed crystal chandelier.
A woman and her measuring tape…
Hoping to God, crossing her fingers and toes that —
it will fit in the trailer with the million
of other things she has to take to Marburger..
Stacks of cardboard boxes waiting.
Bungee cords, an antique dealer's best friend when packing.
Tarp to cover the back of the truck in case it rains….
Goodbye cozy bedroom.
Large rubber band holding shut the French country door.
Cooper pot and French Dresser.
I think I would rather pack the cooper pot in the trailer, and keep the Dresser in my pocket…it needs to come back to France with me… But hence it was packed in the trailer too!
Do you think the hitch is too close to the ground?
How many pounds can a truck carry?
I think she has enough stuff to sell!
Farm table and an iron bed wait their turn to be packed into the truck.
Packing, packing, packing….
The loaded pickup truck… Beverly Hillbillies Style.
Going, going… holy cow this puppy is big! And let me tell you it is stuffed to the brim.
going, going, gone….
We are off…
Destination: Marburger, Texas.
Why: To attend, set up and sell at the thirteen mile long antique fair.
When: WERE OFF! We are headed towards the flood zone of Atlanta, (to pick up Lynn's Ex who will help drive the truck and trailer, help unload, set up and manage the electricity needed on the stand… yes I said EX… ) and if the truck doesn't become a boat we will spend the night. The next mornin' we will drive to New Orleans, listen to some jazz, have dinner on Magazine Street, then pick up and head out towards Texas to sell Lynn's wares.
… I guess you could say Thelma and Louise are picking up her the cowboy, and heading for the fair.
Holy Smoke! An adventure is full of surprises.
