Flea market

Last weekend I went to a new flea market that recently opened up in the area. It used to be a roller skating rink years ago, and the building has been sitting empty for at least the past ten years. Anyway, the building owners recently opened it up as a large indoor flea market, and I decided to take a look-see at what the vendors had for sale there.

I’ve always had a penchant for Lockers. They are just a really great way to store items in my garage and basement. I even like to have some nice looking Wood Lockers near the back door since we don’t have a coat closet there. So I went to the flea market, wondering if there might be some Lockers for sale that I might like to pick up and use at home.

Unfortunately, the only lockers that they had was a really beat up School Locker and some beat up Gym Lockers. Now I don’t mind a little ding here and there, it adds character! But these were really badly trashed! So I decided that I didn’t really like what they had there this time.

Pretty locket

Last night we went out to dinner with my wife’s parents, and had another little birthday party. Her mother’s birthday is coming is approaching, and so we decided to combine the two birthday parties with a dinner out. We made reservations at one of the town’s nicer restaurants and had a great steak dinner. While waiting for the dinner to cook, the presents were exchanged. My mother-in-law gave my wife a pretty locket that had belonged to her own mother and had put photos inside the locket of both the mother and grandmother. My wife was so touched! She told her mother “that is the MOST PERFECT GIFT EVER!” She was all smiles the rest of the night!
