A day of muti-personality

My name changed many times today.....
Entrepreneur, Grammy, Negotiator, Friend, Organizer, Exhausted...

Entrepreneur.... My dad used to always say "If you throw enough shit against the wall something will stick"
Those words have given me the strength to fallow my dreams over the years. As you read about my latest dream I need to figure a way to fund my adventure...the wheels have been turning. I have been drawn back to what I know Art and Retail. So the plan is (God Willing)

•  design a Craft Show booth...done...
•  next question to be answered will it be solo
•    will it be a joint booth with other talented Artists from the valley
• ...or will my talented relatives want to work together and provide inventory to represent the talents that God has blessed our family with???? Time will tell 
•  the calendar has been checked and I can attend 20 different shows over the next 5 months across Montana, this will give me a chance to test the waters.
•  Applications have been requested next step build the booth so I can have pictures to submit with applications.

Grammy.... My favorite job Alaina and Jaden get to come a spend the weekend we need to wait for school out to be out to head back home. So Zac Payton Alaina and I go to lunch. This was a experience as they had spent the night with Grandma pretty tired little girls.

Negotiator... After lunch which included a conversation on my dream...We headed out to look for a Toy Hauler. It's all about connections, Zac has a roping buddy that happens to sell them.

• He asks lot of questions as to what my plans are. I tell him (I repeat this so I keep myself on track) I am planning on going on the Art and Craft show circuit in Montana, need room to bring my Harley along, and have room to carry my booth as well as inventory.
•  Ok he says and on to look at 4 options. We cover all levels from basic to the dream. I decide on one that is a great buy, one that I can live in.
•  If my plan works in Montana I will head south an do the same next winter
• .We agree on a price agree Zac's truck will work to haul it with terms should be good here.... 
• We make the deal now to put the numbers to work 
•  I will be using my business woman skills this week end and head to the bank Monday and see how well he believes in me.

Friend...I was called on my way to Billings to see if I could man phones as the Musselshell is rising again UGGG regretted that I couldn't but assured them I would check in to see how things are going when I get back to town. I did... the word is we will flood again at what degree only Mother Nature knows. A friend posted that help was needed to get a family evacuated they were one of the homes damaged in the last flood still not back to a new normal. So I headed down. only about 5 blocks away so Jaden stepped up to watch her sister armed with her cell phone and connected with Facebook. And me running back and forth. I checked in, could see we needed a lot more people because a construction shop needed moved to.



Coordinator...  So my volunteer coordinator hat went on and I headed to the youth center where all the kids hang out on Friday night. Whet in said hey John we need young, strong and willing kids to help get this done. So immediately I had 12 to 20 kids headed to the river. At present time we had one trailer to fill as soon as it returned, the kids went to work getting things organized to be ready to load as soon as it got there and they did in a matter of a couple hours had the shop was emptied, sandwiches were delivered by another local woman, 4 more trailers appeared and possessions  are on higher ground and won't be under water if it happens again. The young adults all said they would be willing to help move it all back when it's safe. These young people were amazing. I was again proud to be able to do what I do best connect people.

That brings me to Exhausted...Got home for the final time around 1 am. Jaden and Alaina did great... played great together... one stop I fixed mac n cheese... one stop got jammies on... one stop bed time tv... great to be in a small town.

Dogs didn't seem to care they still wanted out at 7. So coffee is one and I'm writting here.

Who knows what my name will be today right now it's ?????????? not enough coffee in me to know....

Thoughts and prayers to those in the line of the Musselshell..
