Show and Tell Friday and A Classy Flea Shopping Trip

I've been wanting to participate in Kelli's Show and Tell Friday's (There is No Place Like Home) but I've also been shopping at The Flea and wanted to post a Flea Friday trip...so what to do? (tapping fingers on desk, scratching head) Hey...what about a DOUBLE post! :-)

For Show and Tell Friday, I thought I'd share a very old pic with you. The quality isn't the greatest since it was taken with a Polaroid camera back in 1977. I was a Junior in college and had just soloed this little Cessna 150. My instructor spared me the "tearing of my shirt tail," an old tradition in aviation....but he did insist on taking my pic right after I landed. Don't you just love the bell bottom jeans? Hey, it was the 70's...which also explains the long hair parted down the center. :-)


Here's the certificate he gave me of a little bird being kicked out of the nest. (Sorry about covering my last name but you have to be careful in cyberspace.)
I didn't get my pilot's license...just too much going on with going to school full-time, working part-time and planning my wedding for the following June. But I did get to solo many times in that little plane and it was truly one of the best times in my life! :-)

Don't forget to stop back by There is No Place Like Home to see all the other Show and Tells posted for this Friday.




Ok, ready to go shopping at A Classy Flea? I was having withdrawals recently so I knew it was time...time for a shopping trip to A Classy Flea! I'm always amazed at how much has changed and all the new things they have each time I visit. Let's get going and see what we can find!
