it'll be ok

today was our first farmers market, we have both been excited since yesterday because this was the trial run of "can kevin make enough money doing this while i still don;t have my teaching license?" i spent a lot of time yesterday making our signs and kevin was busy getting his stuff ready.

when we got there today, the shade we had been promised was non-existent, the chairs we were expecting were non-existent, and we were allotted half a table (my fault for signing up for the wrong thing). so we set up - and i cry - ... i told kevin i was sad because we looked so unprofessional. kevin didn't understand my sadness until he saw people literally render us invisible because we had no canopy. our society is all about presentation.

after about an hour, one of the managers came up to us and offered us her canopy - and from then on we rocked it as hard as we could, we actually ended up doing much better than we thought we would at this particular venue. and i think we can actually make a go of this urban farming as a job.
