Kat, that is the same kind of information I've been finding about these rugs. But it is getting this bugger to the marketplace that is the tough part. I found an auction site where they schedule them in different places, and next fall there is one in Fort Worth. The man who runs them is in Austin. And in previous searches I did find a place I could send an ad. I don't remember where that was, so I'll look up the places listed in your link and see what they say. Chances are I can place an ad online. The main thing I need to do is not ship this beyond the lower 48 states. Too much paperwork otherwise.

I emptied the last of the bags of dirt in the pickup, and as I went back and forth to move more rocks from the back yard to the front for that raised bed keyhole garden, I paused along the way to do a few other things. I policed the back yard and then I moved the dog pool. It's funny, but we can hear the neighbors 2 doors up, and they have a regular in ground swimming pool. Every time the kids would laugh and squeal in the water, Cinnamon would race to that side of the yard and whimper. I think in her past life she has experience playing in pools (or possibly playing with kids in water). And misses it. So I moved her wading pool back there under the tree and filled it more than I have been. She was in and out of it a lot. I hope it helps!

I've been taking cookers of various sorts out to the back table today. I baked bread out there, baked a sweet potato, and then took the roaster out there filled with a couple of inches of water and some potatoes in it. I've never done this before, but they came out perfect. I haven't made potato salad for a while. And all of that cooking was outside.

I did do one stovetop thing - I made a batch of homemade butterscotch pudding and filled the little Tupperware popsicle things. I'll let that be a surprise for the kids to discover. Moonglow just called to say that she's picking up her boyfriend who spent the day with his father while she hung out with hers. Then they're coming over here for our Official First Day of Summer, other wise known as the First BLT of Summer. Everything is ready.
