Our leaves are really blah this year and are already falling. The red oak and the columnar oak will hold on until spring, but I'll bet everything else will be bare in 2 weeks.
casino, I heard a vender telling someone that he had bought out an entire house but hadn't meant to do so. He went to estate sale one day, but returned the next day 2 hrs. early and ended up emptying the attic and buying it all. I eavesdrop a lot at these flea markets... We really have fun at them, even if we don't buy. People-watching is a ball. There were kids there dressed in their Halloween costumes, fathers and kids attired in orange t-shirts, Arabic women in headscarves, East Indians, Mexicans, Russians, Poles, African-Americans, a real cross-section of Chicagoland. The food is fabulous! "Pan," Indian sweets, homemade jellies, salsa & honey, plus good old American junk food. I love it! Should have mentioned that the guy selling 4 boxes of Twinkies/Zingers for $5 sold out early. Guess people buy that stuff for lunch boxes, but I secretly hope not. Wish you WERE here to go with us. We'd have a ball! We miss you both a lot, esp. when we go out Schaumburg way.
Faced with sitting thru a Green Bay football game just to keep IRH company or poking around the internet, guess what I chose? So, off to poke.
Have a wonderful evening, All!
