This week is the Riley Festival, in celebration of James Whitcomb Riley, the writer. We'll have our trailer there, so there's a LOT to do. Terry didn't have any therapy this week so we could get everything done. We stocked sorted and made everything ready to set the trailer on Wednesday. evening. Jimmy helped several days, and will stay with Terry when I'm working. Thomas pulled the trailer to our spot and helped in the final set-up.
The week was HOT, with several 85-95 degree days (we even broke several records). Many of our family members helped: Mom, Dad, Brad, Debbie, Jen, Liz, Bill, Arlyne, Mandy, and Bobby. There were also some friends: Mark, Beth, Andrea, Sherry, Brad, and Stacia. Terry spent 7-8 hours there each day, visiting with friends and helping to keep track of everything.
I was glad when Sunday evening arrived. We were DONE!!! We had all survived the week, and it went fairly well. Business was down by about a third. The weather was so hot, the people just weren't there during the day. Terry got a chance to see many of the people we've made friends with at the festival. Quite a few hadn't heard about the accident. They were all glad to see he was doing so well, and were very supportive.
I'm done with festivals for the year now!! I can concentrate more fully on helping Terry to get better.
