Really, this stuff is quite amazing. I arrived very late, because my clocks had stopped, it didn’t seem to matter though. Just look at all the things I got. Perhaps, Toots was wrong. Maybe flea markets are literally the place to shop!
This week’s ultimate question was suggested by Erica M, and comes from Alice Munro’s short story A Real Life.
Have all your clocks stopped?
The answer must be 42 words.

E.B. White–he was mentioned in the post that had the link to the article I think you were referencing about the 10 words to cut from your writing. Sorry for being too obscure. 🙂

LOL. Plus I loved the idea of flea markets being the place you were late to arrive to, since they are full of things from a place where time seems to have stopped. The dichotomy of that just tickled me.

My wife and 3 daughters could live at flea markets. At least they’re cheap dates. Good job.

I like that sentiment. It’s akin to visiting an antique shop and stepping back in time.

*hahaha* This cracked me up. My mother has the same fascination with flea markets. (And tag sales, and second-hand shops, and that pile of stuff somebody left on the curb…) What a fun way to respond to the prompt – thanks for linking up!
