And BTW, We're NOT Talking silly little Tchotchke-Trinkets here. NO. They were heavy Books, and Large Items.
BEACON HILL was Where We spotted THAT little "Happy-Dance" bit of Signage at a TRIO of YARD-SALES.
-- I *almost* FELT a Pang of "GUILT" for Paying SO little for WHAT I "GOT"! - [don't worry, IT passed...]

...AND, This CAST-IRON BASE-STAND Thingy...
I've yet to take a really CLOSE-LOOK at IT. However, I suspect that the "CENTER"-Hole-Space has been Modified..?
About 16-Inches across
-- 18-Inches from Tip-to-Tip.
And, at about a PENNY-per-POUND, I *wasn't* going to LEAVE IT!!
We were NOW, "SALE-SPOILED"! -- We moved on to the BEACON HILL MALL...
huh. The SALLY-ANN is going through a "RENO"... *STUFF* has been Temporarily
"Rearranged". - Although, that didn't Prevent MOTHER from FINDING a Set of 3.25mm [24"] CIRCULAR-NEEDLES at 89-Cents for Me!
NEXT, We had GROCERIES to GET at a Couple of Places, including THE MALL...
HOWEVER, I *also* needed to go to TRAINYARDS. -- Since the Afternoon was getting on, and the COOLERS were FULL, I dropped Their Contents - along with MOTHER - at the HOUSE before Continuing with MY "Shopping"...
oh, hey, remember Those METAL SAILBOAT HOOKS that I got on TUESDAY - [SEE 14AUG2012 POST] - at MICHAEL'S?Well, "officially", They were *no longer* ON-SALE. BUT, the SIGNS
were STILL up, so I *got* the SALE-PRICE!
ONLY Bought FIVE more to add to the Other TWO, so that I would have "SEVEN"-BOATS for the SEVEN-"SEAS"!
Meanwhile, I *was* going to USE My ONE *COUPON* to Buy a BALL of YARN - BUT, *couldn't* since the YARN was "ON SALE" THIS Week!! -- nuts!
Mind You, I was PLANNING on making an Excursion to IKEA "some" TIME this COMING Week
-- There's a MICHAEL'S Next Door - [at least, there used to be..?] - I *might* actually be NEEDING That COUPON..?
Afterward, I went over to WALMART for a certain Needed Fav FOOD Item that was ON SALE...
ggrrrrr!! -- There ISN'T *any* of MY Flavour!! -- [WALnuts!!] -- I got a RAIN-CHEQUE.
oh-kay... I still have a LETTER to MAIL - *perhaps*, if I drop IT off at the MAIN POST OFFICE that is *just* down the Road, IT'll get INTO "The SYSTEM" Quicker..?? - [haha!]
The "Service"-OFFICE is Closed. I *figured* THAT, as IT was AFTER 5:00PM. However, there are FOUR MAIL-BOXES just Outside. *Surely*, THOSE SHOULD be "Checked" on MONDAY **MORNING**..?? Right??!!
[INSERT The Sound of THE UNIVERSE "Snorting"!!]
The "LABELS" on the BOXES read MONDAY'S "PICK-UP" is at 5:00PM??!! -- FOR REAL?!!?
[...AARRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!.....]
Alrighty... TIME to head HOME!! -- I'll just Drop the LETTER into One of the Neighbourhood
"DELIVERY"-MAIL-BOXES. *Where* IT'll get picked-up at **8:00AM** on MONDAY!!
ANYHOO... I think maybe THE UNIVERSE took "PITY" on Me Tonight -- as I *WON* $7. on the LOTTERY! -- Then again, IT is *also* My LATE-MATERNAL-GRANDFATHER'S 110th BIRTHDAY! And, HE always did *enjoy* Buying "Reference"-type BOOKS...
**THANKS**, PEPE!!
