I ran away today. I have lots to do, and I should have stayed put, but I needed to run away.

My family joined me. We found a flea market where we bought a game of Trivial Pursuit for a $1 and a collectable bottle of Coke for DS16's collection. DH saw a cute rooster napkin holder and just as he pointed it out to me and said, "Look at that rooster," a woman snatched it up before we could reach it. We had a little laugh about it.

Next to the flea market was a huge antique store. DS13 found two military patches he liked. The patches were labeled, describing what they were for, but the clerk removed the labels when we paid for them and now we can't remember what they were issued for. We'll have to do some internet research. He wants me to stitch the patches onto his hoodie, but I better find out what these patches mean first and if it would be okay to do so.

There was another huge anitque mall across the street, but we were overwhelmed and spent. We'll plan for another weekend outing to that store.

We hit up several used movie, CD, game stores and then enjoyed a "Lupper", (lunch-supper).

There was a brief, but beautiful rain shower. It smelled so good and the rain was cool and refreshing. The puddles dried up too quickly.

We're going to put our feet up tonight and tomorrow we'll get back on task.
