Good evening. Gordon - sorry for the fast fade yesterday; I got spun out into the world by the needs of the many. Go figure. 😉
Moan-Day/Monday is mostly over, and I am tickled pink that I listened to that still, small voice that says, "Go thrifting ... go thrifting ....". Just as I was about to leave the Kidney Foundation store that I sometimes haunt when the workday is through, the clerk started putting out jewelry and watches in the display case. Today, they sold to me a 14-K Lord Elgin mens watch with a diamond dial and 23 jewel movement for $8.00. It doesn't work, but I-Don't-Care! I know a splendid watch repairman. Once Bob has it humming again, I plan to find a spiffy leather band to replace the old stainless steel one that somebody put on it, years ago. Not sure as to the age, but if I had to hazard a guess, I'd think it a 50's model. This is DH's lucky day, and he doesn't even know it, yet.
