Hanging out in Sumpter!

Mary in our booth

This Labor Day Weekend I'll be hanging out in Sumpter with Mary Vine. We've set up a booth the last 4 or 5 years during Memorial and Labor Day weekends and sold our books. It is where I sell the most print books all year.

Not only is it fun to sit and visit with Mary and the people who wander into our booth, it's fun to hear the Sumpter Steam Engine blow it's whistle, listen to the wind sing through the pine trees, and the occasional thump of a pine cone hitting the ground, hopefully not the head of a passerby.

The booths are so eclectic that we always take turns walking around and looking at everything. But the time I like the most is staying at Mary's cabin in Bourne. There is no electricity, now running water other than Cracker Creek right off the deck of the cabin, just peace and quiet until the 4-wheelers go up or down the road.

I spend my evenings at the cabin writing. Thankfully, I have a computer with a long life battery. And with no internet and other things to drain the battery, I can get a lot of writing done in the three nights I spend there.

What are you doing this Labor Day weekend?
