I wish I could use a little fish glue and clamps to fix my old failing joints.

Further work towards my couples portrait museum.

From the massively overwhelming Elkhorn Antique Flea Market this morning.

Many Many thousands of people wandering around through acres of old things.

I was there for the cream puffs.

Makes me a little sad.

Sold this couple today to a woman who will use the frames for her son's wedding.
She will replace the current images with photos of the groom and bride.

It's a cool idea, but after 130 ish years, this couple will no longer be together.

Spouses or Siblings?
The wavy hair and no names make it hard to determine.

Today's clean-up victim.
Much crazy glue and duct tape from the previous owner was removed.
And many many wipes of the front to remove decades of grime.

Best Spring Break Ever
Working parents never took us anywhere during spring break
My friend and I often took advantage of the no-school days to see how far we could wander Chicago and its suburbs
Back then, each punch of your paper bus transfer extended its life for one hour (maybe two?)
We never told our parents that we left the neighborhood
