You may have noticed that the title of this post isn't a regular WITM post name. That is because this is an apology. Rare, I know. But take it or leave it.
Recently I posted on Facebook:
Memorial Day means tourist season in Plymouth. Make sure to stop at my shop to pick up a souvenir spoon!! (Note: Spoon may NOT actually be a "Plymouth, IA" spoon.)
Believe it or not, this has stirred some confusion. I've been asked a few times whether or not I'm actually selling my spoon collection. The answer is no.
I started collecting spoons about four years ago as a joke. Today I have three spoon racks full of collectible spoons, with having only purchased about 10 spoons myself.
So why did I make that post? The reason is that Memorial Day is the biggest celebration in Plymouth. A number of folks come back to the small village to visit their deceased relatives and those who gave their lives for our country. So I decided to post that I was selling spoons to "tourists" to make a little money. I was posting it as a joke. I would never sell my spoon collection since I plan to hand it down to future generations of Bobby P.'s.
Believe it or not, half the crap that I post on Facebook is not true. It's just random crap that comes to my mind and think it would be funny.
So I'm sorry for any confusion that I may have caused you. And to those who give me spoons for the collection, thank you. And a big thank you to all of you who read this blog.
Sincerely,
Bobby P.
