2014 - Vancouver - Marsha's Lavishly Lovely Lampshade Lid
July 12 Marsha hopped a taxi from her Vancouver West abode and rode to the weekly flea market on Terminal Avenue east of Main Street. She was so excited and happy with her chapeau and shawl purchases she decided to walk home along the seawall on the south shore of False Creek to show them off. She made it as far as Leg & Boot Square and not one person had said a word. One dog did bark at her heels though. So she decided to call hubby Harry and share her excitment. She sat herself down on the seawall ledge, hauled out her cellphone and called Harrys' cell.
The conversation:
Harry:
Hello Marsha, what's up? Whenever you call me on my cell its typically because you over spent and are looking for me to bail you out. What have you done this time?
Marsha:
Oh stop it Harry, I have been shopping but you will be very proud of the frugality and beautiful items I found.
Harry:
Let me guess. A holiday trailer to tow behind the Bentley.
Marsha:
Oh, honey I would not do that without consulting my designer first and you know he is out of town.
Harry:
How lucky is that! So what did you get, its my turn to buy a round at the club so hurry up and tell me the big news.
Marsha:
Look on your cell, I just forwarded you a selfie with the buys.
Harry:
Jeezus Marsha, what the hell are you wearing! You get that dam lampshade off your head and rag off your shoulders before you reach home. What will the neighbours think! You look like some kind of middle aged harlot.
Damm, I am going to order doubles.
Marsha:
Sobbing uncontrollably, hangs up with out another word.

You tell a lovely tale with your photos--visually, and in words. Thanks for sharing both. I used this photo in a montage in my language learning video that mentions cell phones, not in the context of the interchange between Harry and Marsha, but in a manner that probably won’t cause any further dickering between the two.
The photo shows up around 5:52 minutes into the video at:
