All work and no play…… not here! And we found pictures on Dorothy’s phone to prove it.
While we admit that we do work pretty hard around here and pull long hours as needed, we all love a good laugh and like to play around a little too. It’s good for the soul and makes life a little better. But part of the reality of our chosen path has us in the booth for a good part of our time. Schulenburg Festival, for example, is a three day show with multiple 12+ hour days. It can be especially tough to get down time when we’re working those kind of schedules. That’s another reason we love to go work events with a group of friends who also handcraft their products. You get someone to laugh with, help each other out, and actually get a lunch or potty break once in a while!
We found a few pictures in our files from last year’s Schulenburg Festival. They were of our team having some game time fun with Artisan Woodworks of Magnolia. We had a great time playing off and on all weekend while we were there. There were contests between our own TPC team members, Texas Pioneer Creations vs. Artisan Woodworks of Magnolia, and our younger crew played with festival attendees too. It was a lot of fun for all of us and the pictures still make us smile. We had a few heated battles, spectacular crashes, and more than a few laughs. Not a single one of us could beat one young man’s high score that was set that weekend. He got 27 levels high! And as far as we’re aware, that’s still the high score to beat. We’ve enjoyed watching many people try to come close.
Once all of the COVID related situation is under control, we should get to have Artisan Woodworks of Magnolia join us at markets again. Make sure you stop by their booth and try out the game for yourself. It really was fun and the oversized blocks were great. Who knows, we might even get a break and have a chance to play with you too. If you want to contact Artisan Woodworks before they can come back to the market, feel free to send them a message through their Facebook page. Don’s been busy building and they’ve been good about trying to post pictures of what he’s been up to on their page. We understand they are open for delivery only until COVID restrictions change.
Until next time, keep washing your hands and make sure to get some sunshine! We’ll try to get more pictures of the garden up soon and a sneak peek of Dorothy’s liquid soap progress. She has two batches just about ready to go on the website and a third one started. If you haven’t already, make sure to subscribe so you get notified when those blog posts go live.
