it has been a long day at the villa. Swanky Plank Vintage Market ran it's first full day today and we had a yard and a house full. lots of really nice people. met a family from Copley, Ohio which is a stones throw from where sarge grew up in Medina County, Ohio. we hailed each other with the big OH IO as they left the mansion. i love my buckeyes. i am finding all of my northern guests passionately telling me they are angry about America's newest run of Joe McCarthyism, the flap over pulling the confederate flag down. Thanks to the politically brigade we have sold out of all of our confederate flags and decals we just got in last week. Our distributor is two weeks behind in filling orders. We may have to bury the silver in the yard again soon. We have diverse crew, several of us have Confederate ancestry, my buddy Jason, a man i love like a brother, we taught together for almost ten years, he and his family are the Rippavilla lawn crew. Jason is a member of the Sons of Union Veterans, having a distant uncle and granddaddy from Illinois who fought in the Battle of Spring Hill in 1864. Mr. Cost one of our volunteers is commander of the SCV camp i am in. His mother is from Wadsworth, Ohio. Sarge's hometown. Enough.
Got home and unloaded, my 1864 clothes are now in the washing mashing (warsher). A hot shower and a couple of Great Lakes Brews along with a Kosher treat, i am ready to crash. will see you all at the villa in the morning. mazel tov to all.
