Saturday Flea Market Feb.23


FLEA MARKET
                We went to see Lyle's friend, Ed, in Spring Hill and he said to meet them at the USA Flea Market in Port Richey.  Traffic got heavier as we drove on Commercial Road closer to Tampa,  filled with malls and gas stations and billboards advertising lawyers.  Ed's girlfriend, Diane, has a booth at the Flea Market from stuff she buys at estate and garage sales,  She rents 3 booths and 2 center kiosks for $700/mo.  I found treasures at the  maze of a market.  My morning walk was good training to finding my way back,  Ed and Mike went to smoke cigars at a shop and found themselves in a food festival to get there.  Luckily after paying $10  to park and paying for the morsels they ate, they had a good afternoon.  

 Diane is perfect for her job.  She has a gift of gab, in fact talks nonstop, and an eye for buying bargains.   When it closed at 4 with talking Elmo and the car walker gone to a young family, Diane and I went to their new home, bought from a foreclosure for $73,000.  The previous owners had paid $205,000.  We joined the guys for dinner at Inn On The Gulf, eating outside listening to live music across the street.  As Melissa says when you can see the water, eat seafood. Great food.   At 8:30 headed back 80 miles to see Shopcat.  A few deer along the way.  Raining after 11 PM.
