Memorial Day Weekend, Flea Markets, Collectible Stuff

**********************************

Um, thought I had posted a blog during the week but I guess I didn't hit the submit button. Must be losing it. Let's see went and saw the oncologist during the week and decided to try some chemo treatments again, sort of a maintenance dosage and see how it goes. Last time it almost wiped me out, but gotta keep fighting.

Got to the market on Friday, dealers everywhere but light on customers. Guess the holiday weekend didn't help. Bought, sold etc. a normal type day.

Saturday was yard sale day, had a smal list to go to in the area and it worked out ok, as usual no home runs that I know of but one possibility. We will soon find out. Oh, also got a neat little 2-1/2" cannonball, now my other one has a friend. Jan got some clothes and house stuff. I also picked up some framed floral pictures and a few nice matted photographs that need frames, plus assorted other goodies. Off to the market again on Sunday, another holiday weekend type crowd, walkers, strollers and how much is that crowd. But being a few miles from the beach and a nice sunny day doesn't help. It is the official beach openning weekend here in New Jersey.

Meanwhile we're still adding goodies to the shop, oh and selling stuff also.
