We may no longer have an antique business, but we still like to go to weekend estate sales. Yesterday we visited two and enjoyed looking at the offerings and also looking at the homes. We did buy one item, which is a seat thing that Foxy can use to help her back problems in the car. Now we have one of these things already, but you know, we might need another and besides it was only $1.50 plus tax, a bargain for sure. That kind of thinking gets us in trouble every now and then as we wander home with another treasure.
Last night we went over to friends for a drink and then out to eat. They sit behind us in church, and we thoroughly enjoy them. They are a wee bit older than we are but just a bit, and at one point in the evening Jeanine enjoyed telling us of several finds that graced her living room that she had found at estate sales.
We went to Valentino's for Italian food, what else, and talked non-stop only to be visited by another couple from church who were also having an evening out after taking care of their grandkids for this past week. Jeanine has a bad back and arthritis and other health problems but seldom mentions them except in passing. Her husband, Bill, has Parkinson's but gets about with a cane and a great disposition. He tried valiantly to keep the conversation on track, but the ladies veered off on topics of their choice, and we all had a great time. We each ordered an entree to be shared and salad and left the restaurant filled but not stuffed. A fun evening. Happy travels.
