We decided that after we got the car worked on, an oil change and a radiator flush, and did a couple errands that we would go to a couple of the antique malls we used to go to. The main reason for going was to look for a replacement ironstone pitcher and bowl set that was broken by Franklin earlier in the week. I know frank didn't mean to break it, he just lost his footing after failure to jump were he had intended.

Anyway, we drove up to one and after walking around a bit, we I didnt find anything and set out to go to the next one. The next mall was closed and had been turned into something else, both of us were shocked it had closed. The place always seemed busy, although the prices some of the dealers were charging for there goods was a bit high. After we drove past the place again just to make sure it was indeed gone, we continued driving north to another antique we hadn't been to in awhile, when we got there it too was gone for good. The three other little antique places near it were gone as well. As we headed back home, we discussed the malls and figured it was due to many factors, including eBay and economy.

While we were out and about, we ran into some rain. I guessed, and guessed wrong, that we didnt get anything at home. When we got home, the rain gauge showed an inch of much needed rain. The rain watered the plants I have sort of neglected for the past couple of weeks as well as cooled things off. The weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow before it starts heating back up again.
