My Road

Yesterday, we drove through Gas City, Indiana and an indoor flea market caught my eye. We had to go on through town to pick up a table for my sister. We found the house, or so we thought, to get the table. Red brick house 1/2 mile down the road, were the directions we were given. I didn’t know the ladies name. So, we knocked on the door of this red brick house and the man of the house opened the door. I said, “hi, we are here to pick up the table.” He got a strange look on his face and said he didn’t know what we were talking about. He hollared to his wife to see if she sold something and forgot to tell him. Nope. WE WERE AT THE WRONG HOUSE!

We trekked back to the car and headed down the road. I was on the cell phone with the lady, she saw us and directed us into her driveway. LOL

Her garage was full of stuff. Apparently, she and her husband enjoy going to flea markets, auctions and yard sales. We enjoyed looking over everything. They had 8 or 10 old sewing machines that all worked. There were some big pieces of furniture that looked interesting. The man took the covers off the pieces so we could get a better look. Mom and I ended up buying two dressers. Mom’s is a small piece that has two drawers on the left and a door on the right. The door part was made to hold a chamber pot. Now we need to find a chamber pot. I told me sister to be on the look out because our mom needs a pot to pee in! LOL Grace, my sister, found an old barn auction house that she has gone to the past two weekends. Now she has a mission!

Mom also bought a Singer sewing machine in a cabinet. The man didn’t think he could fit everything in the back of my Pacifica. Ha! He does not know us! My sister, Grace, and I once fit a sectional in my car. We can make it work!

So, in the back of my car, we had 2 dressers, a small table, a sewing machine cabinet and a shredder. (I bought the shredder at an office supply store on the way.)

On the way back, through Gas City, we stopped at the flea market. We knew we could not fit another thing in my car so it was safe to look around! LOL
