Mon. 1/19/2009 Webster Flea!!!!

Hi! so how many of you know what it is when I write Webster Flea? Yep! a flea market.. We went first to the smaller one about 2 miles north of the "Webster Flea
Market". Where it is all fleas, fresh fruit and vegetables. Found some nice silver there, the fog lifted and the day started getting warmer.
Then, on to the big FLEA market. All kinds of fleas. Under roof items from across the ocean (clothes, gadgets & housewares) to fresh fruits and vegetables. And then several fields of the really "flea"
stuff. I said to someone that I didn't remembers seeing so many vender's in the field before. The answer was that today (MLK Day) was the second largest day of the year. The largest being President's day. NO school and so the kids are helping Mom and Dad sell stuff. Over the loud speaker were several announcements to not drive in the area of selling as there were over 60,000. (yes, thousand) people there.
It was something. My legs are so tired from all that walking. But, just one more aisle
to go down. Actually, several more, but I did not cover it all.
The kettle corn was good and not $9 a bag like at the Super RV show. I did not buy any there. And while I was trying to find Ernie I bought a dozen mini donuts. I actually saved six for him. All tho I think he only got 5. And sweet tea. Sweet tea is so sweet, I usually do not get it. That is all they had.
And we found some more silver. two lovely ;pieces---berry spoons. This one vendor had only silver in his booth. Some sterling, mostly silver plate. He caught on to Ernie that he knew what he was asking about the different pieces.
Finally started home, they are supposed to close at 2, we had left home at 7:30.
Stopped in Dade City for a late lunch. Called some Hoosier Cruiser we know and ask about a place to eat. They came out to visit while we were there. Got home shortly after 5. Another late supper of soup and salad.
No, Frank, only a few forks, we did not buy. You would not believe the crowds and
venders were not coming down on their prices much either.
A good day. Tues we are going to rest, do laundry, etc. Get ready for a flea market
at Plant City on Wednesday. Which is near Parksdale, and that means STRAWBERRIES.
Talk to you later.
