I got skills...

I did Atlanta's Scott's Antique Show for the fourth month in a row last weekend, and there will be more on that in a different post, but for now I just have to brag on my new found trailer navigating skills.
Here's me getting in a little vanity shot while photographing our booth.

Here's Brandi and our porter Richard who worked for a small fee plus an entire pizza box full of brownies, fudge, white chocolate fudge and peanut butter candy. We have discovered the fuss over hiring a porter; it is totally worth it to have them pack up your vehicle in a careful and professional manner. Richard did an amazing job, when we opened the trailer at home to unpack, things had shifted only ever so slightly to the rear even after we "flopped it about" quite a bit as Bran put it. We're hooked!
This was my second time towing a trailer and even though it's only a wee little 5'x8' it is a challenge at first. I have to say, I wish I had gotten pictures of the massively packed and bustling back docks of the venue where I maneuvered the trailer like a champ- like a pro all by my lonesome! All the manly (and prissy) men including all the porters in sight were duly impressed and gave me my props as I exited the driver's seat.
I had to navigate a busy and impossibly tight loading area packed with cars, box trucks, SUVs towing trailers and campers to even get back to this spot, and then I backed it in between a trailer and a box truck perfectly.
If you don't brag on yourself, nobody else will!
I'm looking forward to the next challenge...
