today i hit two estate ssales. both bungalows. both with nice woodwork and leaded glass. but OY, the rugs. and most of the stuff.
of course i found more at the non open house sale. they lie like rugs.
unfortunately it was the 1st day, but i still found good ebayables. and best buy was a 1940-50's cool westinghouse fan. $2 as is. huh? turned it on. it worked. yes, it didn't really oscilate like it should. but it was in good condition, so i hauled it to the 1s floor. got a little old fashioned 'east lake' saw. ANOTHER SAW ?!? a wooden little bowl with a handle. says snacks and has a rooster on it. now that has charm. that could be good. a spatula with most of the paint missing, but the spatula part is different. an a sewing collectable.
quick, gotta get to the other one before it closes. not in a 'goodneighborhod' as my mom says. i say middle/lower class black. but old houses. this house had some damage and oh my, the paint. but at least it had colors i suppose. and lovely wood. but not much to buy. although i did find a 30's thesaurus. and a keychain with a brass oval-Captain's quarters SS "TITANIC". not sure why somebody would make that. but it appeals to me.

'kitten' story.
basil has eaten sauer kraut(pork infused bavarian, but still sauerkraut).
when they wer small, basil stole some lemon meringue tarts and ate most of them.
and just now he had quite a lot of the lemon filling of my pie. didn't even wait. little bastard. but swooped in like a hawk.

OK, not only did i start A, but i also have volumn II of the famous orations-Rome. gotta get that set on ebay so i am working on both.
well. i read a short oration by Cato, in support of a rather talibanistic law the romans had for 20 years. and it sounds like the women were unwilling to take it. LOTS of protests.
on the other hand, it was a complait of exuberant showing of wealth. but, the women wanted their colored togas.and their jewelry.
