What The Heck Happened To The Flea Market?

So I go out to a local flea market yesterday, I will admit I did arrive a little late in the morning, BUT HEY, it was still MORNING! I arrived about 10:40, I could not believe it! ALMOST EVERYONE WAS GONE! The few tables left out there were clearly the stragglers, just swapping spit and laggardly putting their things away. What the heck? The heat? It was pretty nice still yet, it had not gotten too terribly hot and there was a slight breeze. At least the hangers on were nice enough though to let me pick through their wares!


Then there is the auction house! I remember they had a fire a while back, but wasn't that a long time ago? Why does it look like a bomb was detonated just night before last? Can the community get involved in this? HHMMM........

I do know there is another flea market. I go there quite frequently as my BFF lives right near by, but I just thought I would check out the "other" side of town for a change! If there was a flea market war (maybe I missed it?) I know which one won!

Too sad, really! What can we do to help?

First Day In Empty Nest!

I can't believe it! Woohoo! I have the whole day to myself! To do whatever I WANT!

As soon as I finish my weeding-n-watering I am going to start on finishing a couple of the dozen or so projects on my workbench and then I am positively itching to try a couple of new ideas! So my blog will be short, besides the "must do" my want to list is way too urgent! LOL

Heres to wet paint and all the people slinging it! DAB, SLAP and ROLL ON!

Getting Ready To Roll Up The Tents!

I Am torn between being happy that the kids are going home today and feeling very sad that they are leaving! As I sit here with my stolen moments after my Honey leaves for work and they wake up, I drink my coffee and sigh with the thoughts. Wow, has it really been 3 weeks? I never know where all the time goes!

You Just Never Know Will Happen When You Run A Circus!

At least that is how I feel lately! I made a really big leap this year and took all 4 grandkids for a few weeks at the same time! I must be a real glutten for mental stress! I figured it would bw cheaper in the long run than several trips back and forth to the Bay Area as well as give my daughter a REAL break. Usually I take 1 or 2 at a time and just switch back and forth. I must say, it is very, very hard to keep it all together! I do not know how my daughter does it! Just the groceries alone are a nightmare! I am at the store almost every day! Not to mention the constant entertainment and the squabbling! AAARRRGGGHHHHHH........................................!

Thanks to the stars for my BFF JM! She came to the rescue big, BIG time and we went out to her small ranch for some "Camping and Farming Fun!" What a woman, a mighty fine woman is she! Whew! It was really great and the kids all had the time of their life. They have never been camping at all or even had experience around farm life, so it was a real thrill all around! Even if it was a cheat to have a tent pitched in the "backyard"! HAHAHA!
