Now that football season is over at my #1 job (Sofi Stadium), I might be back working at the Rose Bowl flea market on Sunday February 12--which happens to be Super Bowl Sunday. Before football season, I was working those monthly Rose Bowl flea markets and usually came home with some very nice card purchases.bbcardzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290656676306029566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-694219441760408342023-01-24T19:40:09.129-08:002023-01-24T19:40:09.129-08:00Sweet!
