Old Stuff--and Us Tuesday

Another fun day of antique-ing.  Mike brought back his big Mission-style chair and a little tricycle and folk art quilt for me.

This is the horse he bought on the way here--which he will restore to mint condition.  Remember these horses?  They used to stand in front of grocery stores and you could put a dime in the box and have a ride.

We talked to an 82-year-old upholsterer who was off to play a double header of softball.  She was agile and strong and told us she could run the bases fast.  The coach suggested that she could walk because of her age and she said, "No way!"

We met a man Mike liked a lot--a retired clinical psychologist--who tried hard to sell us a Vespa.

Shopping is fun with Mike.  He likes the people we meet more than the stuff.  Every stop entails  a mutual sharing of life stories.

I bought this tray of dried paints
and took photos of dolls
