Back to the Treasure Chest

Here in Orange County California, we have a big swap meet that is held at the County Fairgrounds. I haven't been there since we went with Kim and Nathan while they were dating and they are now married and have a 6 year old, so I guess that makes 8 or 9 years.

Here's the gloomy, dreary main path. There were still quite a few people, since the weather eliminated beach going.

They had these cool dog igloos, but spoiled Pandi insists on sleeping in the bed with us. The stairs in the back are fully padded, not like the plastic frame ones they used to have.

As I wandered through the venue, I saw an area where they have take away Mexican food and a bar and a band playing. I immediately noticed the bass player second from the right.

A couple of closer looks, and sure enough, it was my old friend who gave Kenni to me years ago.
He got Kenni as a puppy, ($800) but Kenni was so spun and hyper that I was requested to come foster him for a week or so. Well, at the end of the week, the friend didn't want him back, so I kept him. I showed him pictures of Kenni and told him how well he is doing, and that he is happy and we like him.

I got Doc a new man purse for our upcoming trip. His current murse is leather and falling apart, so I got a heavy weight canvas one made by Everest. Much nicer than his current murse.

It had all kinds of pockets and can be carried crossbody, thus making it harder to pickpocket.

I also got those copper oven liners that you see on TV, only for just $10. I laboriously and disgustingly cleaned both the double oven and the stove top, and now they are sparkling.

This surfing chihuahua flag was cute.

I finally got a tag for Pandi, even though she is microchipped.

I noticed that she had a weepy rash right there on the white lines in her fur, so I bathed her in medicated shampoo and gave her this month's dose of flea control. It made her lethargic, which isn't unusual for dogs.

It's still gloomy today and will be for the entire week, but I am attempting to bring some cheer to my wardrobe.

This is an ivory scuba dress from Chetta B and the Helena Sorel jacket that I got at the church pile sale last weekend.

 It's lime green brocade.

The dress has mesh inserts at the neckline. I wore my weird green resin necklace and an amber drop on a long gold chain. 

On my right arm, a peridot bracelet and the peridot ring that I got in Montana.

On my left arm, my wedding rings and the seed bead/crystal bracelet from Neiman Marcus.
