A few days ago on my way to run some errands, I almost passed up a garage sale. Usually I just past them by as it's too late in the day and everything has already been picked over.
It screamed at me "Brake"!!
Among a stack of odds and ends, was a pitcher. Dark and dirty, it called my name. I picked it up, knowing that underneath the corrosion, it was silver. It had pretty lines and a real heft that I wasn't quite expecting.
"How much?" I ask. "A dollar" was the answer.
I almost did a jig as I left, clutching a new treasure.
After some polishing, and more polishing, she is the beauty I expected her to be!
Until next time, Honey
