It has been a long week. I am going to an estate sale that actually started yesterday. I was busy cleaning my yard up and planting more succulents yesterday so I will go today. I'm not sure but I believe this is a professionally run deal, because it is a Thursday, Friday and Saturday sale and tha

My old Mercedes is still in the shop. It has been there eight days now. It sat for the better part of the winter without being driven and the emissions failed. I was told to drive it a hundred miles for the system to kick in and cure it. I drove more than that and then the check engine light came

I don't know what size the default font is on this platform, but I do know I can not read it. I have been asking for a size 14 (that's what this one is) as a minimum size so that everyone can easily read posts without having to enlarge the copy manually. From now on if I open a post and I can't e

My beloved old Mercedes is in the shop. It has been there since last Wednesday when I drove to Connecticut to try get enough miles on it to get it re-inspected for emissions. The car sat all winter and apparently it needs something to trigger before it will pass. On my way back to my shop to chec

I am working all day at the Antique Gallery where I have a booth. Since it is a big celebration day it is hard to know if there will be traffic. I have a lot to do in my space, so if it is slow, I will rearrange some of my stuff and get the new lamps illuminated. Whatever happens there are always

It is early and I will soon be out to towns far for me in search of more antiques for my space at the antique gallery where I work on Sundays. The season of people visiting is upon us and I need as much inventory as I can get even if I don't bring it all in right away. Here are a few more things
