Christmas

Tomorrow will be Christmas Day, and many of us it will be attending family gatherings, dinners, having gift exchanges, with little or no thought to the true meaning of the day.

The List

Chanukah is being celebrated and Christmas will be here very soon.

I’m now being asked by my family, what I want for Christmas.

Itching to Go to a Flea Market?

Being a collector, I enjoy going to flea markets and antique shows.

Sometimes I will set up at a flea market, as I did last weekend.

I used to participate in the outdoor markets. They are less expensive, and I don’t have many, if any, high end items to sell.

Thanksgiving Was Nice, but…

Normally for us, Thanksgiving Day means attending church first, and then Pauline cooks a meal for the family.

Swimming in a Sea of Gratitude

This year on Thanksgiving Day, we might think it will not be as easy as it has been in the past to find a reason to be thankful.

Cash Register Club

Last Thursday, a collector friend and I went to St Charles,IL, for the fall meeting of the Cash Register Collectors Club.

A fast trip. We left early Thursday, and we were on our way home before noon Friday.

Chip Show

This past weekend, my wife, sister, brother-in-law and I traveled to Michigan, to Battle Creek, not for cereal, but for the Great Lakes Chip Show.

Postcards

I have always been a saver.

Anything I think might have some monetary worth now or in the future, I keep.

A Visit to the Learning Tree Farm

Some time ago, I told you about working Autumn Fest for the Learning Tree Farm. I have been involved with the Farm most of its existence in one manner or another. Today I would like to share with you the Farm’s story.

On Land and Sea

You are invited to read about the cruise Pauline and I took last week.

Unlike going to the home of friends, where you might be required to view a movie or look at pictures, you may, at any time, just stop reading and move on the another fine article.
