Yup, we start early, too. We stop along the way at one of our favorite little restaurants for a big ol' breakfast. Then, we're set for the day and we can enjoy the swap. On the way home, Chipotle. Mmmm

Coffee first, of course.

When I walked up, I thought all the fish were gone. Tanks were empty. So, I asked "How much for the gravel?". That's when I saw the last seven in the bag. I couldn't believe my ears when the kid offered $5.

When I saw Jon and Jan in the parking lot after the swap, I said " I screwed that up. I should have offered $6". LOL

We also pushed for the Rockford Swap. Jan was all over the room handing out flyers.

The Greenwater swap is in two weeks. Then Milwaukee in April. We'll pass out lots more flyers at both of those events.
