And lo, the Lord gazed upon the chicken and upon the egg...

And not knowing which should come first, shoveth'd
He the egg up into the chicken, and it was good.





Just had to put that in. I have had this greeting card with that
written on the card. The picture on the front of the card shows a barn,
a chicken and an egg. Only the last two lines on the inside.

So which on did come first?




Monday the 16th. We drove to Webster, FL. to the Flea Market. It was President's
Day and so we got there at 8. When they open. Very full of vendors. We did not get
over half of the grounds. The real fleas. Not the ones from China, or India. But the
stuff from Grandma's attic or someones garage. We left about 11:30 and there was
a two mile line up to get in as we were leaving. Such a place. One vendor was ready
to go home at 10;30. His wallet was full. Have to know how to price your goods. He said.
We found some good buys. Stopped at a subway at a filling station about 4 or 5 miles down the road. I was told all they had was ham and bologna, for sandwiches. No lettuce or tomato either. But we were hungry and the sandwich tasted good. People stopping to or from the flea market. We knew it would be a big day.
Got home, checked out what we had purchased and Bruce and Beth came over for pizza and cards. A good time.

Tues. The 17th. I got a hair cut from my purple haired, studs in her face, stylist. McKenzie is nice and does a great job of styling. Trouble is, after I have slept on it, the hair style never looks the same.

Over to Parksdale to meet up with National (motorhome owners) Great Lakers. for strawberries and ice cream. The group went to a local park for an informal meeting and visiting with one another. The line is so long, but it doesn't take long to go thru to the place where you order. No one seems to mind the wait.

Wed. today--- Picked up Bruce and Beth and headed over to the Sam Allen flea market at Plant city. Heavy population of Spanish speaking vendors and patrons. All 4 made quick work of the market. Not what we wanted there. Except vegetables and fruit. Pineapple for $2., 7 nice small squash, zucchini and yellow, for $1. 6 Tomatoes for $1.
Nice large Jamar for $1.
I got 3 red bell peppers at Webster for $1. We do enjoy the fresh food here.
Beth needed to make a grocery run, as they were heading for the Everglades today. Then a stop at McDonald's before heading to Parksdale. Celebrate a good time together. I also bought
a quart of strawberries for $2.19. ummm good!

Now Ernie is polishing silver ware, so I better help. Have a good day.
