Fairgrounds...


Not to much has been going on. Still trying to eat healthy lately. We went to San Francisco last weekend for a night and I ate pretty bad the whole time so it's been hard to get back into the swing of things. It was fun either way! I'll post pictures soon. :)


I wanted to post about a clock that I got a long time ago now, in the first week I lived here actually. When Dave and I got to Monterey (after our cross country trip) we stayed at a hotel that wasn't far from the Fairgrounds. Dave, being adventurous, wanted to go take a look around and came upon this area at the fairgrounds where they have tag sales on Mondays. Anyone can go set up a table and sell stuff. Mostly old beat up stuff...

He told me about it when he got back and we decided to go back down. I looked at everything and came across this clock.


















It needed a new battery and a little cleaning up but for $3 I felt it was worth it! And Dave even paid for it :) So this was the first thing I bought for the house as soon as I got here.



















Ross and I finally got a new backing for it. Which included having to get new hands for it. (the old ones were longer and cooler looking :( but I still love it! The color is what attracted me - it lives in our living room for now.

















You can kinda see in the picture above that it was made by Seth Thomas. I looked up Seth Thomas Clocks and found a cute little history on them. :)



Thought I'd share! Thanks again Dave!!
