Gump in English and Cap and Plate

Today, I had to go to Stuart on business. And there are great thrift stores there, so Pat joined me. She got a very cool Hello Kitty umbrella and a good quilt book. I was so happy to be done with my business, I enjoyed the thrifting later than she did. ( Or else Erin, I would never have let her get away with a 50 cent Hello Kitty Umbrella!!!) Anyhow, I got a neat book for myself, no photo, and I got Jeff an English version of Winston Groom's "Gump Ka Kumppani". Too funny, he got it on vacation because of the "Gump" in the title, and I found it later... anyway, one of his favorite movies. Turns out, this is the sequel to Forrest Gump. He will be thrilled.

And, I found a ball cap. Jeff wears them from time to time, but for a whole dollar, I got it. "Brown and Brown" turns out to be an insurance company specific to the real North. Anyway, Jeffrey, today was all about you.

And the plate: My pattern but pastel green. Hmm... And really Buffalo China. Pat found it to give me and says, "Well honey, it's Florida Green".... That works for me.

Beach Horses

The first horse is a plastic horse named Pegasus. I found Pegasus on a very stormy day at the beach. When he was flying his wings fell off and he crashed before me.

The second horse washed up on the beach. It had been decapitated. It was made of wax and was sticky from cooking in the sun. Linda wouldn't let me take it home because it was bodyless. The first thing we thought of was the Godfather scene.

My First Post

I found this wonderful wooden Mexican man at Goodwill for $1.99. I call him Paco but, Linda is afraid of him because Dad said he probably hung on a Mexican restaurant bathroom door. He is dressed like a vaquero. When Linda takes a nap I sneak in and put Paco right near her face. HA HA HA...
