Holiday Junking!

OK, the long weekend is coming up. Before you engage in any junking, remember the Treasure Hunter's Pledge. Take a moment to reflect on why we do what we do, say the pledge, and get on out there and have a good time.
(Note: This pledge is a hastily-written work in progress. It is possible, especially if Mimosa's are served before, during and after brunch, that a new version will be put forth.)

Treasure Hunter's Pledge

Place your right hand over your heart and recite with me:
As a treasure hunter I will never drive past an antique mall or flea market without stopping (or at least whining because whoever was driving wouldn't stop.)
In the pursuit of the next big find I will dig through junk, follow misspelled signs down unpaved roads and pilfer my children's piggy bank.
I will find new ways to use old stuff, and learn the old ways to use my new finds.
I will be prepared to get up early on weekends and have a sore back for the rest of my life.
