The Search

Once again, I'm on the road,

 searching for one of a kind and hard to find

 items for the shops.

I'll be pulling out 

VERY

early in the a.m.

It's one of my favorite challenges in the business :

putting on my favorite old jeans and hat, work gloves in my back pocket,

comfortable boots

coffee in the cupholder

music playing

On the road again

zigging and zagging cross country

to visit my favorite haunts

and some good ol' boy pickers.

The anticipation is amazing

envisioning the possibilities!

I love scouring through loads of tantalizing old treasures,

and sometimes some pretty strange salvage

(aka worthless junk)

hoping to find those special pieces

  

that 

delight will my senses!

I

am

 always

 expecting the mother lode

that sweet spot where I'll walk into a barn full of breathtaking antiquities

 to sort through

......

each piece more fascinating than the last

......

untouched for generations

each one in pristine condition when I blow off the dust

......

Undisturbed history

just waiting patiently for 

ME

with all the stories buried along with the treasure

......

Ah 

Excuse me,

 I was caught up in the dream again  

OK

I'm back in reality

and I know it's tedious

dirty

heavy hauling

driving for hours and hours

day after day

......

and there are spiders and snakes and rusty nails and 

lions and tigers and bears

OH MY!

(It's just that I don't want you to envy me too much!)

I love to set off on a road trip

with miles before me

good music playing

and

the

dream

 alive in my heart

Wish me luck!
