Happy New Year

It is 10 pm.  Ernie is in bed and I will be before long.  the trailer park just
West of us is having a firework New Years Eve.  Have seen some of them from our window.  Hear them all the time.  Plus Latino music.  We hear the music several nights a week, if our windows are open.  Our RV is not up close like some of the trailers in our park.  Makes life interesting.  And this year, each evening, after dark the ice cream man comes along.  In the park West of us and the one South of us.  And that jingle goes thru my mind half the evening.   The truck does not come down our lane, wonder if he only goes where he know there are children. 

Went to the Big Top Flea Market today.  Talked with Gene, the gentleman that has one whole end of a building for all his stuff.  He has gone to auctions for years and brings in new stuff all the time.  but the last two years he has slowed down and trying to clean stuff out.  I found a small spoon with holes, it is an olive spoon, or a salted nut spoon, or a relish spoon.  Most pictures said olive spoon.  Dainty and a pattern I like.  While talking with Gene I told him about the lady we bought the tea leaf strainer from.  He ask some questions about her and said they used to go to the same auctions.  Her name is Dottie and if we go to that market again tell her he said hello. 

Now the fireworks are going off to the East.   Wonder what it is like here on the 4th of July.      Have a Happy New Year.   jkc

PS   maybe quieter as the migrant workers next door leave.
it is the 6th and I have not finished this blog.  A lot has happened.  we have had cold weather.  I mean, frigid for Florida.  28 Tues and Wed mornings.  I brought the tomato plant in, plus the all the plants but the onions and pansys.
I have some green onions planted in two shallow plastic saucers that I got for a quarter at a garage sale.  They are looking good.  The tomato plant has about 8 or 9 tomatoes on it.  Most are quiet small yet, but one is really a nice size.

We have also had some sadness within the Hoosier Cruiser Club.  A long time member died this week.  And another member has had cancer and is undergoing various treatments .  Plus we learned another friend in the club had a brother die suddenly.  I guess it is like my grandfather said when he turned 90.  I read the paper to see if my name is in the obits. 

Went to Parksdale on Thursday.  For our Strawberry sundae and grapefruit. also got 4 yellow peppers for $1.  3 cucumbers for $1. some fresh picked green beans and a bag of tangerines.   Have to watch, some of their veggies are expensive.  Sometimes we can get good vegetable buys at the flea markets.  We missed two markets this week.  did not feel like getting up and going in the cold.  We go early and hope to find a good buy on something.???? 
Have a good week end.  jkc
