Today I was invited to go with Max (from PA) to a flea market of sorts. It was fairly small, maybe only 10 stands but I think it might get quite a bit larger as it gets into the warmer months. Supposedly it is open every Sunday. There were quite a few interesting things: some furniture, fancy silverware, cameras from the 1950's, hats, quite a bit of old plates and such, etc.. etc... One of the neatest places had some stuff from WWII. They had some army clothes, a couple gas masks, some pamphlets, old newspapers, a couple photographs. It really neat if you're into history. I myself was drawn to the old newspapers. They ranged from about 1940 to 1945 from what I saw and were mostly Norwegian, but there were a couple in English too. With some help from the woman running the stand, I found a paper from February 13, 1941. There is an article about "English Help" both from Britain and the U.S. and a smaller one talking about comments Roosevelt made about standing by the British. Anyway, I thought it was really neat and it cost me about 5 bucks so I thought I made out well. Here are a few pictures highlighting the articles I talked about:
This afternoon we are supposed to be having a floor meeting to meet everyone and discuss kitchen upkeep, etc.. I think right now my plan is to try to find something interesting to make for dinner. Any suggestions?
