"no, never had a problem with that. I ended up with them after setting up across from them at a show years ago too! They were an invited vendor, and I have to say that they were the only helpful vendors I've ever seen at a show LOL! "

Thanks for being such good neighbors, and big thanks to your dad for watching our stuff so we could get out of there in a timely manner. We arrived home at 8:30am, we were exhausted. I think we'll keep the future drives to a max of 9 hours, 13 was just a too long.
