New Old Stuff

After having a long horrible day, I took a drive. Deep into the wilderness. There I met a little gnome like man. I must have found the rainbows end because there was gold (okay, rusty gold) everywhere. Okay, there was old farm equipment.
We walked about the property and haggle prices. We did not haggle much, he was real reasonable.
While his and nephew loaded and delivered my new treasures. We sat and talked. He took me into the cabin and in true camp generosity, we shared pop tarts, coffee, and stories.
We parted as good friends, My and I stopped at the burger shop on the way home. A message from his wife came up. I told her April and I were just getting to Manistique, so her hubby and the (boys) should be there soon. I asked her not to tell on me, then I told her how much her husband talked about what an amazing woman she was. He absolutely glowed when he spoke about her. She just beamed. It made her day to share our secret. Everyone should have a love like that at least once in a lifetime.

Great story. It's amazing how "treasures" have so many meanings. Items, love and smiles r some. Open hearts that listen and looks and sees.
Love treasure hunting

It is amazing how "old stuff" is still around and "new stuff" is broken or not as good as the old stuff is still being used and the "new stuff" is in the garbage or land fill.
