And finally.

We stopped along the road on the way home to take pix of Texas Bluebonnets - the state flower. There are not many of them this year, due to the drought.

1. there's a red Indian Paintbrush in this pic
2. 3. 4. Just bluebonnets

that looks like it would be so much fun. we always try to go to as many festivals as we can in our surrounding area, and we try to take at least 1 of the dogs with us, I gotta get me one of those strollers so we can take more dogs.

it sad cause we go to the covered bridge festival in Oct. and that is the last/biggest one of the year, then we know winter is just around the corner, we can go 1 weekend and it can be 70/80 degrees and then go the next weekend and it can be snowing. I just love going to them.

nice pic's and glad Gary was able to get around and enjoy himself, he really is a chick magnet isn't he !!!! LOL

Love the pics Gayle. I love that kind of shopping but don't get to do it enough. Lynne has asked me to go with her for the last couple of years, but for some reason or another I've not made it yet. Who knows...maybe this year.

Yep! They sure were chick magnets!!! LOL!!! I was so proud of Gary. He walked at least a mile and a half - not all at once, of course, and with lots of stops, but he did it. He couldn't have done that a few months ago. He's really tired now, but he's veging in the easy chair.

I just had to take 4 Advil - I walked my feet off and now I'm walking on stumps!

That looks alot like Trade Days in Canton, only they also have a lot of pavillions. I'm so glad you took pictures! The dogs are precious in their stroller. I'm so happy that Gary walked so far

Ok, what did you buy???

I really didn't buy too much - I got some wind chimes for my daughter and a necklace for my friend. I bought a few pieces of my grandma's flatware - I have the few pieces that were left after she passed away. I try to buy a piece here and there when I find it - someday I'll have a whole set!

I tried to buy a "beside the chair" table, but the guy wouldn't come down off the price and so I walked away. I thought he'd call me back, but he didn't so I guess I wasn't supposed to buy it!

What did you buy at Canton?

Marilyn · 04-04-2009, 06:37 PM

Gayle, looks like you had a really nice day!!! The bluebonnets are beautiful!!! We hope to have time to go to that show someday. It looks like fun!!

(Wish I could figure out how to post pics like you do. The only way I can is from Photobucket, and I'm not good at that.)

Do you live near Canton? I used to go there at least once a year!! I love going!!! I have a couple of aunts and uncles that take motor homes and camp. I don't go any more because they are starting to carry a lot more imported stuff. There is absolutely nothing like being at Canton!!! My home is filled with many, many things that I've purchased from there!!!

Gayle.......That looked like it was fun to go to!!!! I love shopping that way!!!! We have a garage sale weekend along a certain highway near Kansas City and I have a cousin that goes. I would love to go with her because I guess that she finds some really good buys!!! I love old things!!

gja1000 · 04-07-2009, 01:26 PM

No, I don't live near Canton - I live about 5 hours away! I would love to go sometime - Gary and I talk about it but we never seem to make it up there!

I live an hour and a half from Canton. We go in the spring and fall, because Canton in the summer is NOT fun, lol! We take our camper sometimes, but it's an easy day trip!
