The other day my friend Lynette was here to help me pack
(she is so good at packing breakables)
and we were running out of packing paper
so had to make a run for more
(and coffee and a snack as we were beginning to fade)
Well ~ as we came out of the storage place we could not turn left,
the direction to go back home..... so.....
This is how things go with us:
We had to turn right and find a place to turn around.
~ But then ~
"Oh look, there's that old antique shop we always talk about going to as we drive past on our way to somewhere else!"
"Let's just pop in there!"
We do. We begin to peruse...
Lynette squeals," Look at this accordion!!!!"
Me: "What, now you want to take up playing the accordion?!?!?"
(she is currently taking lessons for the upright bass)
Lynette, " No, my sister has been wanting one!"
She calls her sister, picks up the accordion,
and begins playing sounds that well, you could not polka to,
as I hold her phone towards it so her sister can hear.
I take a photo of her
(as the old guy who owns the shop holds up his fingers as bunny ears over her head)
and he tells us about the accordion from 1962 that is in perfect condition.
She cries out, "SOLD!"
as I try to back-track and ask the guy about a lower price
{which is obviously too late because Lynette is jumping for joy}
I'm trying to train her to be calmer when she finds a treasure but to no avail
We come home and resume packing.
Later, I listen as she tells her husband, "We couldn't turn left, so ..."
{Let's just say he was relieved her sister was paying her back }
This is typical of any day spent with Lynette
~ it is always an adventure ~

Friends that make you laugh
and distract you from packing are the best kind

I hope your lives are blessed with friends like this!
Happy Weekend!

{P.S. ~ No, I have no idea why her sister wants an accordion}
