at the Burlington Antique Show...Such a fun day, looking, eating, talking...now, the first photo is of the girls, and then the second is the one they made me get in, and you'll know WHY I like to be the one taking photos  ...
We had such a fun day...Miss Wilma's co-booth friend from Jessamine County made wonderful chicken salad and deviled eggs, and there were sandwiches and chips--good picnic food with friends, for sure. For dessert we had two kinds of pie, Sweet Potato and Apple (Jus's favorite) and Miss Wilma made some heavenly fudge that we snacked on while loading up her store when the rain decided it was here to stay (about 2:00).
I went with a budget in mind, and honestly, wasn't quite sure what I was looking for except for a teapot that I wouldn't be afraid to use since I broke my old english made Sadler teapot (it was redware and crashed onto the floor in a gazillion pieces)...Anyhoo, Jus was the first to find something he couldn't live without...
WWII handdrawn envelopes from a soldier (a medic) to his mom, his girl and his brother. The collection included about 20 or so, so he had to PICK!!! He was there FOREVER!!! But, going to school for journalistic cartooning and being a WWII nut, these really caught him:
My big purchase was this old metal farm sign, advertising a type of sheep. I liked that it was a woman, introducing this breed (the sheep of the future--HISTORY MAKER no less ) and I liked that it was from Eaton, Ohio, a place I've been to many times over the years where some relatives lived. I like to by signs that have a tangible connection for me...sorry about the poor photo
My $5.00 McCoy teapot...it works and it was cheap enough so I'm not afraid to use it!
Good day, good friends!!!

OK, Carol Sue, your Geo gets better gas mileage than anything I drive, but it won't hold much...but then, neither will the Corvette. So, we take the PT Cruiser and fill it up, or the Vette and ship stuff home....what's your pleasure? Naw, the cruiser isn't too comfortable for me, so has to be the green car. I can't go unless Larry's home to feed and love the dogs, so can't take his Pickup. Or, we can just fly back, rent a car and still ship everything home. It would be a fun trip, regardless! I keep forgetting to ask him about the frequent flier miles. |

I think would be the other way around, or at least Carol Sue meeting me in Reno and us heading east. Never know, it just might happen someday. I used to have on my checks "hold on to your dreams, they may come true". Biggest dilemna would be what to drive if we didn't fly. Hmmmmmm |

Zan, I was married to him for 15 years! When my first husband came to visit his mother, for the first time in 10 years, I was there and the rest is history. Two divorces and a remarriage later, here we are...going on 13 years now. We were divorced for 26 years and I'd not seen him/no contact for 24 of those 26 years. Both of the spouses said it was meant to be and I do believe that. As to the one I divorced, he was heartbroken, but don't think he realizes I was getting so tired of his lies the marriage was down the tubes anyway. We were good friends, that was the sad part. All's well that ends well. |

I know Zan, I was SO looking forward to it. But if I know this group (and I'm getting to) there will be other opportunities!

Haha, Ms. Wilma's account has been hijacked :) Hey, tell Ms. Texas Frannie..she has MANY rabbits!
Ronna...wow, the guy sounds like bad news :( Well, you did find out about him...sad to say, there are many folks like that roaming around.
Linda, yikes, sorry to hear you can't come, I could have met my pen pal in person. We can still write though :)

Thanks Miss Wilma, I'm seriously bummed. Just wasn't meant to be this time I guess. More time to plan for a future adventure thought, right?

Hey Girls,
It is official. I will not be able to come this month for your gathering.
I got a phone call reminding me that I'd volunteered to work a charity that weekend of May 18th. Which I had completely forgotten about.
So I'll hope for an adventure with y'all sooner rather than later. I was really hoping to come too. So sorry.

cute...sometimes. cunning...sometimes that also. The previous one made a huge issue of always telling the truth and he turned out to be the biggest liar of all. I used to stand up for him when his mother or sister would make mention of something not true and eventually realized they were telling the truth, not him. Sad situation. He's told his lies for so many years, I think he believes them to be the truth. |

My "instructions" to a prospective spouse...if you hit me, make it worth your while, cause I won't be around for a second one. And I mean every word of it. Thankfully, I've not had to make good on that promise with any of my husbands. yes, plural. If I'd added "don't lie to me", I probably would have gotten out of two much earlier than I did. |

Haha, girls...very fun. Ms. Wilma, I know what you mean. Sometimes I have to do this with my boyfriend, too, the "evil stare"...

Janice - I'm going to be on the hunt to try to get a photograph of a fishie to add to your bathroom. :) One of the prettier ones like at the aquarium in Newport.
Girls - I never imagined in a million years that our little trip got this much interest on here. We sure do know how to have a good time that's for sure! I've been putting up some stuff on Ebay and checking on the board here when I need a break. Ya'll keep the laughs coming.

See, I was on the right track, after all! When I come across those fish, I'l have to take photos, "just cause". I think my mother had the ceramic ones in her bathroom in Palm Springs...if so, they're likely still packed up with he rest of her stuff we didn't toss or donate. Half my messy sewing room is now in the living room, I must go sort out and get going here today! |

Janice and Ronna-
When we moved into our first apartment our bathroom was fish too! We had a lovely shower curtain and a cut little soap dish that looked like it was sand with shells coming out if it. We had the matching tooth brush holder which eventually was deemed no longer usable since most of today's tooth brushes are chunky. Isn't lot so fun to have an aquarium for a bathroom?
Janice- I love your deals! That is great! I love getting a huge bargain on things!

Ronna - Our two great minds must be thinking alike! LOL! The theme for the trailer bathroom IS FISH!!!!! The shower curtain is covered with fish, the towels are all colorful beach towels from thrift stores and I actually DO HAVE a few of those fish you're talking about and I plan to put them on the walls. They've gotten sort of hard to come by in thrift stores and when I do find one, there's usually a chip on it somewhere. I also have a ceramic fish with a big gaping open mouth that I keep combs in! And the lotion holder, the toothbrush holder and the kleenex holders are all resin, fish covered items called 'Zippy Fish' that I bought in a DAV store. They all had original prices on them and it added up to over $100.00(they are sometimes on ebay), but I paid about 17. for all of them together. :D
