Shipshewana

Went to Shipshewana yesterday. It was a great day to go—sun was in and out with temps from high 60s in the morning to high 70s in the afternoon.

We were walking down an aisle and Renae tapped a lady on the shoulder. It was her next door neighbor! Neither knew the other was going to Shipshewana yesterday.

My list of items bought isn’t very exciting but perfect for me:

A lumbar support for any chair (even better than the Dr. Scholl’s pillow I bought almost five years ago.)
A set of 800 count sheets with 4 !!! pillowcases
4 pairs of garden gloves so I should be set for the year and into next year
grill brush
shower brush
whisk
strainer

I looked for socks but couldn’t find any—a joke you would understand only if you’ve been to the Shipshewana flea market.

And my favorite line from the day: On the drive back I pointed out several deer. One lady said, “Oh yes, I saw a deer this morning on the side of the road.”
Me: “But these are live deer.”
Her: “Oh that was a live deer that was dead.”

I would guess there are sock vendors just about everywhere? That's the way it is at the Jockey Lot.

Yes, every aisle has several vendors with socks--all the same second quality all priced the same.
