I have had many 5 Euro umbrella purchases and every one of them has flipped inside out or disintegrated in 5 minutes or less!karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387141835879842596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-50471034572427945422011-07-26T14:58:21.329-04:002011-07-26T14:58:21.329-04:00PS.

We were caught in a downpour and there just happened to be a shop specializing in umbrellas. I picked up a lovely turquoise one that was 5 pounds (I don't have that symbol on my keyboard) and he reached under the counter and said wouldn't you really rather have this one...purple that matched my raincoat exactly. I still have it and still use it quite often...and that was the summer of 1985.<br />So there are inexpensive ones that last more than five minutes.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990125469349075873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-27349808697915269772011-07-26T00:04:41.876-04:002011-07-26T00:04:41.876-04:00I've had a bit of catching up to do on your bl...I've had a bit of catching up to do on your blog posts.<br />I love Ska-J having discovered the band on after someone mentioned them on Yvonne's blog.<br />Maybe I can be the gray haired lady he helps over the bridge with her suitecase.<br />Glad you are enjoying your simple pleasures!<br />MichelleMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990125469349075873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-126314583049973022011-07-21T02:03:17.239-04:002011-07-21T02:03:17.239-04:00Oh, those umbrellas!
