If I Had A Million Dollars-Barenaked Ladies

Up at 5:30 today
"H" actually surprised me big time and woke me with the announcement that "we" were going to go out on an adventure...
"What...Am I dreaming?"
(No, cuz actually I had quite an interesting dream about my very first boyfriend and my very best grilfriend "getting it on" behind my back!)

So...up...and coffee and out the door by 6:15 to an enormous flea market with unbelievalbe items of interest!

I was trying to figure out what this whole trip was all about...but decided to ride with it and enjoy the attention of the day.

What I "treasured"...

3 four inch iron daisies...rusted to perfection...to place on my wainscoting ledge in the dining room

Two 6 inch iron stars...again...rusted to perfection to prop in my garden

A National Disaster Sign in yellow shaped like and arrow about 3 1/2 feet long that states...
"SHELTER AREA 3" for the basement rec room

A really cool basket about 3 foot round with a handle... for the porch

An antique chair for the computer table

A Yoda figurine for our neighbor who turned 56 today and wants to see the Starwars movie with "H"

and...my favorite...

A five foot tall white antique Armillary Sphere Sundial...well the sundial is not that tall...it is on an iron stand

I was amazed at the fun I had...
took my mind off of my worries...

Had a hotdog by 8am.

Then went to a quaint little diner by 10:30 for breakfast!!

Once home, however, my teens drove me crazy with some interesting issues, and back at home everything turned back into the same old "Shuffle". But I will not let it get me down.
I HAD A GREAT MORNING!!

...And I didn't even spend a million dollars...I would have had fun with just the $3 DAISIES!

Well, I'd buy you some art

If I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you a monkey
(Haven't you always wanted a monkey)"
