Pawn shops

I had never visited a pawn shop until this week, so far we've visited 3.  I was relieved that on our visits we did not encounter any of the drama we see on/in the reality show pawn shops!  Glad we are in Iowa.  :) 

We are currently in search of a full sized violin for my daughter, which are evidently hard to find, why am I not surprised?  *wink*  She just started playing the violin this year and is able to use a school instrument for now, but this summer she doesn't want to be without the opportunity to practice.

Of course she also wants another guitar, so we are looking at those too.  Her electric isn't enough, wants to add an acoustic to her slow-growing collection.

I've been surprised at how nice the folks at the shops are, but they all seem to have that thrift shop odor, no matter how tidy they appear...the shops have the odor, not the folks working in them!  Ha ha, guess I worded that pretty awkwardly, maybe I'll go back to bed.

Enjoy your Sunday, the calm before the Super Bowl next week!
