Finalizing Wandering the Aisles...FINALLY

 God, I have been lazy with my blog.   I can't seem to get motivated.  I am glad to say I am finally done posting about the wandering through the open air market.  

Meet John

 

 

And meet Vern!

It's been too damn long since I took their photos and I can't remember anything about them!  But I did like John's hat!

 

Traveling Through the Aisles

 Meet Maureen.

 And meet Sandy!

 They were both so friendly I just had to stop and ask to take their photos!

My sincere thanks to you both!

Memorial Day 2023

 May we remember those who have given their all for our freedom.   And may we never give that freedom up.

Happy Mother's Day: 2023

 My mother a couple of years ago.  She hates having her photo taken.  Hence, the pleasant look!   She is now 90 and will be approaching 91 in a few months.   My father is 95.  I am quite fortunate to have them both alive.

Happy Mother's Day mom.   See you soon for breakfast.   And yes, she is driving here with my dad.  She is an independent, bull-headed woman, that's for sure.   Maybe that's where I get my sunny disposition!

Traveling Through the Aisles

 Meet Jeana!

She was managing an interesting store.    I particularly liked this porcelain mask.  It was hauntingly beautiful. 

A Mustang Car Passion

 Meet Jeff,

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit with Jeff. He was a Mustang car aficionado and was a member of the AZ Mustang club.  There are over 600 members in that club!

 Nice cars!  Thanks Jeff!

 

Flea Market Wandering Continues

Meet Bonnie!

Bonnie has lived in AZ for over 40 years.   She was minding a booth selling some very interesting home decorating items. 

I liked this sign, made up of old license plates that have been cut into useful letters!

 

 

Flea Market Wanderings Continued

 Meet Doug!

Doug saved my live.  OK, that may be a bit of an overstatement.  But, he did point me to the bathrooms at a most opportune time!

 Thanks Doug!
