During a recent pilgrimage to our favorite New Hampshire butcher shop/restaurant/pub, I saw a sign for “The Cow Palace” and made my husband turn around.
A palace of cows?
You know I had to see that.
Turns out it was an ice cream shop, which is fine… I love a good scoop of coffee or mint chocolate chip.
.
.
There was a pond.
.
.
A barn.
A cow themed parking sign.
.
.
And a crowned cow on the wall.
But.
No.
Actual cows.
Boo to false advertising.
😡
And boo to my eagle eyed husband who saw a sign for an estate sale down the road, climbed up to the top of their barn and came down with a broken Amish wooden scythe that he had to purchase and bring home.
.
.
Sigh.
Junk collecting is an addiction, don’t let anyone tell you differently. And if there was an Antiques Anonymous? I’d be signing my guy up for weekly sessions.
Upon returning home we found a pissed off cat…
.
.
Who had to access his viewing window in the laundry basket because his mother forgot to move it before leaving.
.
.
I have a feeling I’ll be paying for this transgression later.

He’ll repair that scythe “someday”, right? Or would that ruin its authenticity? Maybe just hang it on the Barn Mahal wall as is.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some kind of hoarder support group somewhere.

He just likes to collect crap…

We have a cow palace just south of SF – it’s where they used to auction cattle back when Northern California was cattle country. It’s absolutely huge. Our cat has a certain window he sits in and no matter what the weather, the window better be open – at least a crack!

At least your cow palace had cows.
I felt ripped off.

There are never any plans.
It’s the thrill of finding treasure he enjoys.

You’re right. I’ve been reading you for years. I should know better than to assume there was any purpose whatsoever in that purchase.

Finding things is the fun part for him.
Once he has it at home he loses interest…

He does seem to be giving you that look.
I’m assuming an antiques anonymous meeting would devolve into discussions of what each member purchased and then an exchange of items in their cars and trucks.

No cows? False advertising is a big problem…but now, you’ve got me thinking about Coffee Ice cream. I’ve not had that in years!

It’s funny, I love the ice cream but don’t drink coffee.
But boo to a cow free palace.
