Monday Monday

It looks like I took the weekend off and did not post at all.... I actually don't know the difference between weekday and weekend..they all look the same when you are retired.

Saturday morning was the craft sale and it started at 8 am. Now who goes to garage sales at 8 am...that is a ridiculous time but, many seniors had been up for hours and ready for the excitement.....lol 
I sold about $70 of cards but purchased about $140 of things that vendors around me were selling. Good thing I do not do that for a living.
One of the vendors that I was chatting with asked if I was setting up a table next month and I said "No". He said " Well the talk is, that none of the vendors are coming either if you are not going to be here to buy our stuff lol "  Funny guy.....

The vendor across from me was selling neat T shirts and sweat shirts that I really liked and so I bought, the man next to me on one side sold polished wood things and I bought a frig magnet that is the strongest magnet I have ever found. He said one magnet will hold a whole newspaper on the frig door and it does. BUT...who wants a newspaer stuck to their frig door....
I also bought a sweater jacket, a necklace and a padded bag to hold my GPS and cords. Harvey bought a Sunscape RV Park polo shirt and I begged him to go find other things to buy to ease my guilt but he did not....

After the craft sale was over at noon, we headed over to the Fair grounds which is just down the road where the Home, Health and Garden show was going on along with a car and motorcycle show.
We spent about an hour there ( not good at all) and home for supper and off to the Texas Holdum tourney at 7 pm. Harvey was able to hold out till the last table and won 4th prize of $25.....I was about the 4th of the 25 players that ran out of chips and so I was home about an hour before Harvey.

Sunday morning saw us off to Florence to pick up the Bergs and off to Queen Creek Olive Mill for their "Festival of the New Oil"  We looked forward to lunch and sitting out under the olive trees and listen to all the live music and goings on while we sampled wine and cheese . We had our lunch, looked around the wonderful store and then outside. As we were sampling our wine, the rain started and got quite heavy so we headed inside to sample all the different kinds of olive oils, balsamic vinegars, and tapenades.....Oh they were fabulous and nothing you can buy in the local store can hold a candle to any of them. We bought Roasted Garlic Olive Oil, Meyer Lemon Olive Oil, Caramelized Red Onion and Fig Tapenade and 3 bottles of  Balsamic vinegar --aged, fig, and chili.  The chocolate olive oil was very interesting but did not buy....

Karen got a new app for her iPhone called "Aging Booth" You take your picture and then it ages you....Karen's was so funny so I tried it ...How do you think I look with white hair...I just may go that route ....
and here is Karen's for those of you that are not her friend on Facebook.
