Yawning....???? Good Morning, everyone!
Another early day with marathon walking again. If I don't come home with toothpick legs, I'm going to get tested for elephantiases. Today's adventure was at the Webster Flea Market. Twice, while we are down here, this huge outdoor flea market turns into a mega, mega flea market: on Martin Luther King Day and Presidents Day. On these days (and only on Mondays) thousands of people flood into this tiny town to browse the multitude of dealer setups loaded with millions of trinkets. I'm whipped...even with using my walking stick to hobble the fields. We were successful in finding some special treats to sell on Ebay. Once it's in your blood, you never lose it. I brought all my tools with us that I use to put stuff on Ebay. Back in business soon. Yippee. I just need a few free days. Found our good dealer friends, Linda and Jim, selling under one of the pavilions. We used to set up with them on the same field at Brimfield. We have stayed in touch since meeting and get together when we are both down here for the winter. It was great seeing them and we are arranging

People as far as you can see...and this is just one small section of this huge place
to meet up with them soon for a "catch-up" visit. You can see "Show-Off" Lulu was in her glory once again. She made several friends. She insisted we had to buy the old stroller (taylor-tot) she tried out so she could ride and see everything. We didn't and she rode in my sack tote bag. She thinks she can have everything she sees.....spoiled! Actually, we should have bought the stroller so I would have a ride back to our car....another episode of dragging along close to the ground to reach our vehicle. It's like finding an oasis on a desert when we reach the car.Sam & Sandy also were at the flea market. We arranged to meet for a late lunch at Bob Evans in Clermont, Florida. Had to share what we both found on our treasure hunts. Just like a real "Show and Tell". Back at the RV....Cory met a couple from Denmark while puttering around. He was putting a license plate from Hawaii on our RV (we bought it from Linda and Jim). They stopped to inquire how we get our motor home here to the USA from Hawaii. Of course, Cory had some crazy answer to give

them that made them laugh. People tend to think we are a bit crazy. If only they could see our "Insane Asylum" sign at our house......they wouldn't have to think it; they would know it. As I hobble around inside the RV looking just like Quasimodo, I will close this blog. We hope you are having a good week. Next week we will be dancing and laughing our hearts out. We are going on a 4 day cruise to the Bahamas. So get your bags packed because I have your boarding passes for you. I also have plenty of scopolamine patches for anyone who suffers with "mal de mere". Bon Voyage.
