date with my man

today i got to go on a day-long date with a very handsome man!!!  grandma watched the varmints while daryl and i went treasure hunting in bartlesville, oklahoma.

funny water towers!

we never actually found any treasures in bartlesville, but sheer dumb luck landed us right on the main street of downtown dewey where the annual old car show was happening.  the downtown area was blocked off and old cars were everywhere!  



i bet we went in 5 antique/junk shops all within 2 blocks of each other!  the first shop we walked took my breath away....i opened the door and there was junk from floor to ceiling!  they even had stuff crammed in drawers of the furniture they were selling!  daryl found a really cool old lamp for his office in that store.  

i had a doll like this when i was growing up!  daryl thought it was creepy~the head of a doll and the body of a stuffed animal!  i'm not a doll person AT ALL, but i always thought she was cute!

another store had this beautiful box of buttons!  daryl actually spotted this for me.  can you believe i dug around in there and only found 1 button?  unbelievable... daryl bought an old radio and a cute little gumball machine for the boys to put their marbles.  there were lots of other things i could have bought in there if i was loaded with money, but it was still fun to look!


we drove back into bartlesville to eat lunch at a chinese super buffet place that we saw on our way into town.  the varmints don't like chinese so we figured this was our chance to enjoy it.  the food was amazing!  we both ate way too much!  ahhh.......hunan!

Sounds like you had a great day. Glad the two of you got the chance to get away for a day.
