On the way home we stopped at a flea market we'd never been to before. I'm sometimes okay, sometimes not-so-okay, at poking around in places like that, but today I fared alright. And I was rewarded by finding an old (but complete) Boggle game, just like the one I had when I was a kid. I know I could have bought one new elsewhere, but I'm glad to have one that feels like it could have been mine all along. Chris also bought some stuff, including some locally made fudge--sweet!
Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
1/23: browsing, buying, & boggle
Chris and I went to buy fabrics this afternoon. I'm making new cushions for our indoor Adirondack chairs since the cats have irredeemably claimed the current cushions as their own. We found a great fabric (at the first store we visited, no less), and we also picked out some other pleasant pieces to make into cloth napkins. It's been too long since we've freshened up our napkin stash.
It did not rain today. It has been raining pretty steadily since November with only a couple of days of sunshine. Today was hot and muggy and the sky was cloudy and rather dismal but ... it did NOT rain. It will rain in the night though because I can smell it already ^_^

ReplyDeleteAnd hello, Ariane; I'm glad you got some global good feeling--it seems all too rare at times.
