chick, chick, chick........

hope you all had a nice labor day holiday.
i ran errands last saturday and took the route home thru the 
countryside.
on my route there's a little farm that has chickens and apple trees  and i was hoping they 
 might have apples out for sale and sure enough they did.
so i pulled over and
as soon as i got out of the car a lady came out.
she introduced herself, carol.
 i told her how i loved seeing the chickens as i drive by,
you always see a few wandering around the house, apple trees.
she asked if i would like to see the chickens.
i said sure, thinking we would check out the chicken coup.
all of a sudden she starts, yelling "here chick, chick, chick!.

and whoosh, out from under the hedge in front the house
about 30 chickens came out!
it was like the scene in the Wizard of Oz, when the Glinda the good
witch calls the munchkins out from hiding in the land of oz.
it was crazy.  she has 40 chickens, a few were out already.
it was so cute. she stated telling me their names,
there were actually a set of twins.
i think she likes chicken.  
i did buy apples and a dozen eggs.
will have to stop back for honey and visit my feather friends again.

you break it..........

i've always wanted one of these :)

pretty fitting ending to a not so fun weekend.
trying to make the best of the weekend we
went for a drive in the country to see color and stop
at a lunch spot we use to go to when the boys were little.

not much color left but countryside was beautiful nontheless. 
lunch was ok.
the nice waitress did give us an extra large malt to share which was a nice surprise.

after lunch we stopped at an antique shop down the street and the above happened.

i took it off the wall to get a better look at it,  i put it back on the wall and walked 
around the corner and craaaash. down went the clock.
the antique shop folks were so nice, they weren't really going to charge me much at all,
but the price was good to begin with i just paid the full price. 
i think i can fix it.
time will tell.......

newsflash - aaron rodgers sighting at elkhorn flea market!

sorry for the dark photo but aaron was trying to keep
a low profile while visiting 
the elkhorn flea market sunday.
(hey, lot's of people were wearing packer jerseys
sunday so he fit right in)
he wasn't there too long, 
as he had a game to get to after all.
took just a few pics,
it was hot and i was getting over 
the only cold i 
will have this fall, winter so i left early.....bummer.




love these guys,
the caddy is a great movie.


this one is for you george,
congrats.

be cool, it's back to school



this poster makes me think of back to school for some reason. i think they must be partying after the big game. i picked it up at the elkhorn flea market years ago. the edges aren't in the best shape, but i love the colors.  

aren't they a happy bunch.
