Market day

It's market day in the little town next to ours. Ray and I walked here down a beautiful country road in the lovely sunshine,watching the farmers out with their little tractors tending to their grapes and olives. Lots of birds chirping,lots of wild flowers,wild roses,poppies,buttercups,etc. I bought 4 tablecloths at the market, with the tuscan colors and designs. Laurie bought leather boots for herself which we had to oooh and aaah over,over and over again(she's pretty pumped about her boots and after you say 'nice boots' 40 or 50 times, there's really nothing else to say) I,however, love tablecloths. And dishes, which is why I am so excited about the alabaster bowl I bought a few days ago, and these tablecloths. There's lots you could say about my tablecloths. And I expect lots of adjectives. They're so nice!! I am feeling better, cold-wise. It's nice not to have to go in a store and say"Halls!" while clutching at my throat and pretending to cough.

  1. Pleased to hear your cold is in retreat. Speaks volumes regarding the time-honoured medicinal power of gargling with Chianti and forgetting to spit.

  2. haha I can't wait to see your new tablecloths mom. I am sure they are "exhilarating" and "To-die-for" and "nice."

  5. Well I must say, for a write up about table clothes and boot leather, I'm still green. I'll try not to spill any red wine when I visit...and if I do, I'll just blame it on Anne.
