Now, I want to say that I don't do yard sales or garage sales. However, after last Saturday that might change. I went to 3 local sales....I thought that all I would see is old clothes and junk. Much to my surprise I found a vintage Griswold #9 Skillet.  The inside was rusted, and I wasn't very interested until I looked at the bottom...and saw that it was vintage. Well, we love cast iron at my home and I am not certain where the skillet will end up... maybe a gift? I have begun the rust removal and re seasoning of this pan. I found that these were made between 1919 and 1940. How much did I pay? $1. Yes, and this pan is worth much more...I saw one priced at $200 online. That seems too high....but, anyway.

Coburg Antique Fair

I am heading to Coburg today. A huge show...outdoors, and really a fun time. Free! Once a year...and I try to make it every year. The weather is going to be nice...so with sunscreen and hat I go..hi ho, hi ho!! Notice that shopping starts at 4 am? 

Skin Cancer - Two Months Later

I thought that you might be wondering how my scar looks from the skin cancer removal in July. It has been two months and I have a small pink scar at this time. I do not scar very much, and I think that in a few months there will be a slight reminder of the removal. I am happy to report that healing is going well.

Oh, BTW, my left hand is finally back to normal!

Yellow Jacket Sting...Ugh!

Yesterday I was stung by a yellow jacket...on the middle finger of my left hand. The sting was located on the palm side, just above the palm. Ouch, and then the worry about the possible allergic reaction. Sis acted quickly, getting me some meds to take. I was swigging away on some children's Benadryl and took several Aspirin. I had immediately put ice of it (we were at an outdoor cafe). Today, I have a very swollen left hand, the knuckles are hidden in the swelling...that itches terribly. This calls for more ice packs and benadryl. I hope that tomorrow will see the swelling leave. I have been unusually sleepy today. I will not be playing the ukulele until the left hand is normal. Bummer!
