    Gray and chilly here, but still a good day.

    Why are small acorns not a good sign, Meanjeannie?

    Seems PayPal is thinking about/already has set up B&M places, & may do more:

    Couple of other things, wellington, you might want to look on Amazon for gluten-free things. Read they carried a lot.

    Learned something when I went to pick up my wall clock the other day from the horologist. It was a cheap clock I bought in England in 1971 (sentimental value), and I always wondered why it had a slit on the top and 3 holes on the bottom, when it had a top finial and a bottom finial. The horologist told me that in Europe during the war (didn't say which one), when fuel was hard to come by, people would take the tops and bottoms off clocks to burn for fuel, along with chairs, chests, wooden boxes, etc. I just had never thought about that, and am very grateful the "body" of my clock survived because I love it.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Am planning another flea market run on Sunday. Who knows or cares what will turn up? It's the "thrill of the hunt."
