Denio’s Is Not a River In Egypt
Well, a scant two short years after the demise of the once celebrated Sacramento Things To Do blog, I finally realized my adulthood dream of going to Denio’s Farmer’s Market (And Swapmeet).
What a hoot!
I love a good flea market. Denio’s has table after table of junk one might buy, or not. Like dentist tools, in case you want to be your own dentist — two bucks or so. (Disclaimer: Do not be your own dentist). Or swords. Magnifying glasses. Kitchen items. Toys. Ugly couches.
You name it.
There’s even a Farmer’s Market there. Go figure. Named after “Denio’s Farmers Market”.
We bought two dollars worth of teaspoons, which works out to be about eight of them, and $50.00 worth of seven foot tall plastic decorative plants, which works out to be one of them. It’s surprising when you’re carrying it how much a plastic seven foot tall plant acts as a sail, even if it’s not yet unfurled.
Part of the fun was bugging the wife on the way up with my rendition of the Denio’s Farmer’s Market and Swapmeet song, which one author claims is the work of Tracy Walton of Mumbo Gumbo. Well, I dont’ know, I went over to the Mumbo Gumbo site and wasn’t able to find a copy. You’d think with a hit like that on their hands they’d put it right up front on the home page or something.
I love that tune.
Here are the lyrics:
What’s new at Denio’s Farmer’s Market and Swapmeet
What’s new at Denios this week…
Sorry, that’s all I remember, but if anyone is pals with Tracy maybe she can be talked into sending us a wav file for the benefit of our readership.
