Antique Store Finds

Yesterday morning (Aug 6), after I went to the Thomasville Farmers Market for some

My Dad's Birthday (born February 17, 1937) (Delmer Thomas Green)

-

They were playing instrumental piano and guitar music thru the Bell Tower there today, which is near my Dad's grave. He would LOVE that, as my Dad was a very talented pianist and organist.  One of my favorite memories about my Dad dates from the 1990s, when we were both antique hunting and had a booth in a local antique mall.

She wasn't given ANY of the normal paperwork they are legally obligated to give regarding any vaccine that you are given, let alone a receipt. She said they told her that there was a glitch in their online system, and they couldn't see any information that people had put online, so she had to fill it out again.
