Very early this morning I stepped out to our village’s bi-annual *brocante fair. As soon as the *mistral slapped my face I knew it was going to be a game only for the fittest. With my scarf wrapped around my head, and down jacket zipped up to my nose, the cold tainted me, "Go back to your warm bed!!" Did I listen? Heck no!
To the dealers a quick bonjour on my frozen lips, my eyes scanned the narrow streets for treasures to take home and a possible good find for the many of *you I have come to know.
There amongst the cobblestones I found tattered lace, rusty keys, still frame images, santons, and enough what-nots for you and you and you!!
After several hours of bitter cold enough to turn me into a purple frozen Popsicle, I came home beaming with sunshine!
*Brocante= French world for upscale flea market
