First Calif. Flea Market

We found out there was this little Antique Street Faire Flea Market in Pomona, so Stacey and took off to check it out Sat. morning

Love this vintage bike

My big purchases. These little tiny frames...cant wait to repaint them

I broke one of my test tubes so I found a replacement, I'll show you what it goes on, next post. Love this metal piece. I got all my goodies for $6

Let me take a moment and tell you about my day.

We woke up early to get to the Flea Market.

When we arrived back home Stacey got a phone call. She has a special ring tone

for important calls...like places she has contacedt for jobs..

she got a call...on Saturday..they asked her if she wanted to come in for

an interview...On Saturday?! She said ok...I decided I wanted to go with her...guess where the job is...Hollywood. I figured if this was another 1 minute interview, we could bum around Hollywood for awhile.

Off we went...EVERY freeway we got on there was an accident. It took us 2 hours to get across the city, should have taken 45 minutes.Glad we left early. The plan was to get

a bite to eat...by the time we got there, there wasn't time. We found the Apartment Complex, it is two blocks away from the Kodak Theater and Grumman's, the heart of Hollywood. WOW ! So, I waited in the car, I forgot my cell phone, so I didn't leave. It was getting to be about 95...so hot, I went and stood in the shade...and hour later she comes out.

pretty much with the job. But, she had to go meet the owner...which was in Ventura...so we got on the freeway again...with another accident and drove and drove. We went to his house, which is unusual. He told her he wanted to call her references and pretty much, she has the job. wow. We will know for sure on Tuesday.

She got a little teary when she told me "no cats" These cats have been her

babies for 4 years. We love them to pieces and dont mind a bit having them, but

I know its going to hurt her dearly to leave them.

The plan is to work for this co. for 6 mo to a year, and then look for another job

where she can have cats. As you know, its easier to get a job, when you have a job.

It was hitting 4:30 and we still had not eaten a thing, so we called my husband, he drove to Glendale and met us at his favorite restaurant. Then it was time to rush home

to watch the Lakers win the game...whoohoo...

What a day

We laugh about the contrast from the $430 apartment in Salem, to the $1350 apartment

in Hollywood.
