My Boricua is a combat veteran from The Gulf War. Over the past few years his health has declined, not to a death point but to a very unexpected way. We try to live one day a the time and enjoy life and beautiful things. I believe in God and I believe He does send "little gifts" when one least expect them.
It started yesterday with a conversation with my Dear Aunt The Teacher and my cousin. I enjoyed it so much. Most of all because we live far away from our families.
Today We went to the flea market we discovered a couple of weeks ago. I found some Pyrex. But the mos interesting thing was when this Lady told me if I wanted to buy anything She will give me a good deal and if I wanted to take a box full of "stuff" that was on the floor I was welcome. Well I did!! I took the box and when I came home I found most of the things were very nice. Here is some of the treasures....
A vase with red roses made in Japan. A very cute doll with a red plaid dress. A basket with red roses. A floral door stopper and a wreath withe red roses.
A very 'heavy' wreath with little red apples.

I'm glad you were able to have some fun at the flea market, and bring home some treasures! That wreath is simply gorgeous, and just perfect all year!
I'm sorry to hear your husband is having health problems. I know alot of veterans of the Gulf War are also having problems. It's such a shame, because all they were doing was bravely serving their country.
Take care,
Carol
Thanks Carol!! I can't wait to go back to the flea market. And yes! it is a shame our Veterans are not receiving the care and help they need.
Isn't it nice to come home with a box full of roses! I love the vase, and the wreath is so cool!
