I Went Lampshade Shopping

I am taking a trip to an antique store, wow was all I could say when I opened the door. There were antiques galore, look over here there are even more. I love that tall wooden dresser drawer, it would make my bedroom roar. I will take that "Lampshade" the one I adore, it is sitting on the painted floor. I hope the store is having a price war, this is getting very "Expensive" and I want to score. Can I be "Convincing" if I cry some more, I don't want to leave my treasures and run out the door. I got the "Lampshade" I asked for, now off to the bookstore. I would love a book about the seashore, it would make my day and make me soar.

Sorry we don’t live close to each other! What fun we could have diving beneath the sea, hunting for treasure. I haven’t done that since I broke my leg.I found the neatest toys for Eddie who was small at the time. Fond memories, Pangie
