This weekend we just did a little shopping. We started out at a flea market that was located in one of the subway stations. We find only a few things. We bought Avery a little Japanese tea set for 100 yen (about $1.00) and us a sake set for 200 yen (about $2.00).
We then set off to look at some shops in Motomachi. Just for kicks, we went into a jewelry shop called Charmy Tanaka. I thought maybe I would drop a hint or two on some diamonds that I thought would make a nice 10 year anniversary present to my dear husband. He "uh hu" and "that's nice" me enough that we made our way downstairs to the watch section. Let me tell you...those diamonds weren't NEAR as expensive as some of those watches we looked at. One of the watches had a leather band and nothing real spectacular about it....guess the price....keep going....keep going.... that thing was about $84,000!!!! Don't adjust your bifocals...you're reading right...$84,000 BIG ONES!!! I don't remember the name of the watch, it was a brand I had never heard of and will never see around my wrist so it really doesn't matter but OH MY GOODNESS!!! I should have taken a picture of it but I was afraid that James Bond would come out and tackle me for taking a picture of this apparently top secret watch that was misplaced by some type of secret society. I mean...for that kind of price surely it can direct satellites and land planes or something....right?!?!

HAHAHA - that was a funny post. You are quite the writer Deana. Guess I won't be buying any jewelry while over there. 3+ weeks....and I can hardly wait! Tell Avery she has another surprise coming this week.
Too funny! At least you can say that you once saw a watch that cost $84,000.00. Must not have been a Timex...lol. Sounds like you did good at the flea market tho. Phil & Betty left for TN about 10ish this morning. We enjoyed their SHORT visit, as always. Me & Phil did a little rummaging too - at Palmer Home & Dirt Cheap. I found a cute clock for my collection for $4 but that was it. The time is near for your company to arrive - are you ready?
Can't wait to hear the stories of the visit. I can just see the headlines now - - -
"Tennessee Hillbillies visit Japan"
I know y'all are from TN too but you have to remember, these are Mississippi transplants....lol!
Love you guys :)
Don't worry Deana I'm sure Curtis will do something nice for your anniv. like wisk you away for a weekend getaway (like the Atlanta trip). He may be cheap but creative! :-)
