  • Lisa's booth

    IMG_0194 (2)025 (2)

    She always has her eyes closed and I thought I took another one but anyway this is her buffet she found cheap and now has a huge price tag.

    The print above it is one from my sister's booth since I thought it would go better then her large western print.

    I did the large photos cause I know ya'all  like to see everything.

  • Gold Mirror

    007

    I bought this mirror for my living room from another dealer. She sold it to me for $30.

    I rarely buy anything for myself but when I do it's cause it kept calling my name.

    Dave likes it, too.007

  • Books I've read for my bookclub

    002

    Last month it was The Color of Water by James McBride.  The mother was white and the dad was black.  James is one of 12 kids and asked his mother, "What color is God."  I believe it took place in the 60's.

    The book this month is Nothing Daunted by Doroty Wickenden about two society girls in the west who are teachers in Colorado. It kind of reminded me of this photo I took at the antique mall. It is interesting cause the frontier life is so behind what the gals were used to.

    I enjoyed both of them and when we have our book club we have a lively conversation every third Thursday night of the month.

  • Did you say Catcher

    10002767_10202949578477197_569284400_n

    Sister went to a baby shower over the weekend for her husband's niece.

    The theme was a little cowboy and his name will be Catcher.

    My hubby said that these young people want something different but the poor kid has to live with the name.

     

  • What day is it? Ash wed.

    025012 (2)

    I took this photo last Friday and since then it dropped down in the teens.

    Tuesday, we stayed with the 16 month old Reid since he was ill.  No phone call for help today.

    Went to the Pancake dinner last night at the church.

    Wish we had an Ashes to Go. I will have to ask Father Chris cause who wants to stay till the end of mass? I know I'm a little devil but I'm not the only one.

  • Elsie and Mr.Elsie

    006

    Elsie doesn't have her horns and I didn't know there was a Mr. in her life.

    I know the Jersey cows have horns even if they are female.

    I'm not possible they are the real Borden cows.

     

  • Longhorns

    005 006

    Well, the longhorns were out and about where I could snap their photo but they weren't interested in me since they just ate.

  • Rose and the antique mall

    004003

    I wanted Rose to look at the dresser with me since it's $65. I like the style of it and I could paint it any color.

    I decided not to buy it cause I couldn't make that much money on it.

    This booth belongs to a couple in their 20's ; Stephanie and Collin.

    Rose doesn't look 82yr old does she?

  • I found spring today

  • Old barn revisited

    IMG_0109IMG_0120IMG_0107IMG_0113 (2)

    This barn and land is a mile from our house. It was bought by the natural gas company for drilling.

    40 years ago we used to ride horses here.  Sister and I were California girls and not used to cow patties.

    As I stood surveying the area I felt like crying but I thought; well, it's happy tears for a wonderful life."
