hunting

On a whim, with a heart full of whimsy

I headed to our local thrift store

I needed to hunt

I have a method when I go there

First the glassware

I love old glasses

then I wind my way to the back to the old furniture

and finally I take a glance at the junk room of misc

but I savor the best for last

the BOOKS

I always know

when someone has died recently

when they have cleaned out someones house...
they come in droves...that's how I got a Ms swanson collection of books on Van Gogh

Such was yesterday's stash of cookbooks..no name in any of them

Gold in dem dare woods

So with a nod of respect for the former owner

I grabbed a few and sat and looked through them

I look for the ones that have writing in them

I cherish these.....I found this one on leftovers

Not only did "she" write in it...noting favorites

but she had stashed numerous articles of recipes from old magazines

joy....I paid my $1 and headed home

along with a few other pieces of stuff that spoke to me

Don't you just love folded corners on a cookbook

a map of sorts

Whoever you were......know that I found your map

and I will indeed

Try this

after all you did mark it

very good
