There's a buddha in my pocket...

Christmas brought some old friends into town. I spent yesterday afternoon and evening running around with Nicole who now lives in San Francisco. Of course we had to visit the Thompkins cemetery, because she's heard me talking about the graveyard in the middle of the highway for a while, but had never seed it, and she is a member of a computer group that tracks historic graveyards on the web... I've posted about this one before, if you want to know more, click http://lpfleamarket.blogspot.com/2008/11/week-in-review-again.html

Then we went to dinner and decided to visit the HUGE Half-Price Book Store in Dallas. It's the big, main store of the chain, and no matter what you're looking for in the way of printed material, you can probably find it there. But one thing I did find was this... a Pocket Buddha!

Cute little guy... he is a happiness Buddha. He certainly made me happy, it's strange how a little plastic figure less than 2 inches tall can amuse you so much...

there are six different ones... Harmony, Peace, Wisdom, Love, Happiness and Faith.

I hope his presence on my blog spreads a little happiness around... a little extra happiness is a good thing. I'll probably set him with Little Gothic Bob, or maybe I'll find a little spot on the dash of the truck for him.
