Today was one of those days I look forward to and am always guaranteed a nice time. I spent it with my girlfriend. When we get together we talk about our kids and antiques. We chat like we see each other every day, although she lives an hour and a half a way.
Today we went to an antique store and a used store that has about everything collectible and antique in it.
I started off slow but by the time I was done, I had enough to redo my bathroom. She got some goodies also. She also brought me a surprise gift. It is the gold framed photo you will see below. It is just beautiful in my eyes.
I also purchased the baby doll that you will see. I am not sure of her age, but she is at least as old as I am. An electric candle, some berry vine, an old-fashioned candle that operates on battery and flickers when it is lit. My girlfriend also brought me a lady on a swing.
I also took a photo of me about 15 years ago. The photo above it is of my dad when he was about 18.

Good finds..I could not go antiquing this summer, it was one of Tom’s and mine favorite thing to do. I tried but could not bring myself to hit our favorite places. There is something about coming home with your treasures!

Can I just say what a relief to uncover someone that actually knows what they are discussing online.
You actually know how to bring a problem to light and make it
important. More people ought to read this and understand this side of your
story. I was surprised that you’re not more popular since you definitely possess the gift.
