Of course I was ecstatic with such a huge sale, and&nbsp; very thrilled to have been able to help him almost complete his set, and&nbsp; VERY VERY grateful for the referral!&nbsp; I’ve never had a customer try to&nbsp; put together a set in one day!&nbsp; Needless to say, drinks were on me that&nbsp; night!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So after dinner on Friday night, guess where we&nbsp; ended up?&nbsp; Yep, my favorite dueling piano bar – Howl at the Moon!!!&nbsp; Of&nbsp; course, we had a great time!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_0633.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_0627.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Next to wine, I love a nice gold Guinness!

– since I am now on the board of WIN (Women in Numismatics), I woke up&nbsp; very early on Saturday morning to attend our board meeting at 8am,&nbsp; followed by a general meeting at 9am – and even being out Friday night, I&nbsp; wasn’t even late to my meeting!&nbsp; Let me give a big public thanks to our&nbsp; wonderful hardworking, very passionate president, Lorraine, who was&nbsp; retiring from the board, for all of her years of service!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_0635.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_0636.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Saturday&nbsp; was as busy as every other day at the show.&nbsp; I was quite surprised to&nbsp; see a full bourse floor at noon on Saturday since it seems at most shows&nbsp; these days that a lot of dealers are gone by noon on Saturday.&nbsp; But&nbsp; that wasn’t the case for this show – business was still booming!&nbsp;&nbsp; However, having a flight back home Saturday evening, I unfortunately had&nbsp; to leave by 3pm.&nbsp; I would have liked to stay through Sunday so I think&nbsp; next year I will see if I can make that work. </p><p><br /></p><p>The FUN show was&nbsp; so very busy and an extremely successful show for me, and Orlando was&nbsp; very beautiful, warm and sunny, but I was really looking forward to&nbsp; getting back home!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_0659.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some pretty photos I took from my plane as the sun was setting above the clouds</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_0660.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_0662.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_0664.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_0665.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_0667.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>That’s&nbsp; finally it for this show report – I’m headed to a show in Tucson&nbsp; (Arizona) later this week, then back to San Jose (Northern California),&nbsp; then Long Beach!&nbsp; Love it!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
