Busy Saturday

It was that time again...Tom needed a hair cut! So we headed off to go to his barbers. I was able to sit out in the van and read a book I had brought along! smile.. It worked out great as there was only one ahead of him..but it started filling up afterwards! Then we thought we'd make a trip to the Farmers Markets! Tom found a spot in the Handicap parking lot. (It's not very big, so there was only two spots left.) Due to this shortage of parking spaces, one car had parked in between the rows of cars, which blocked several cars in,  and they couldn't leave! (I had noticed a police car pull in.) Well, as we went down the center aisle of all the vendors, I saw a policeman walking with this little old lady, as we passed by I heard him say, "We just need to find you a better parking spot." He was being so kind to her. (Bless his heart!) She must have been the one who blocked all those cars in and they must have called the police.

 

Here is our friend Laurie, (she filled all our pots with plants out on the porch). We just had to stop and say "Hi" and get a bouquet of fresh cut flowers from her. (I will share a pic tomorrow, they are gorgeous!) It was so funny, Tom was carrying them and people would remark, "boy, you've got a keeper!", or they'd look at him and say "good job!"...of course I'd have to agree with them! smile...

We also stopped over to see Audrey and her family. Her son (in the background) raises tomatoes and other vegetables. We picked up some of his cherry tomatoes and of course a jar of his Mom's jelly (Rhubarb and strawberry! Yumm) 

Lot at those clouds...pretty and unique huh?

 

We had quite a surprise yesterday. My daughter in love called and said they would like to come over. (With all four great grandbabies!) I was so excited. (We were actually out and about.) After we had a bite to eat, we headed home and here come the twins along with their Meme! The other two Greats weren't able to come as baby Maggie had an upset tummy and had to go home. But these little girls were such a delightful treat. They have grown so much and are so adorable!!

 

We're having lightening and are in a Thunderstorm Warning...so am signing off.

 

Bye for now...

 

Summer Has Begun

 

What's your favorite thing to do in the summertime?? There are too many to list..but you know yours and I'd love to hear them. Ours is going to the Farmers Market!

 

It was a true summer day..HOT!

 

We first stopped at the flower lady's booth. She has the neatest items to sell. Look at this cute little wagon.....

 

Then these..so sweet... she even had doggie bones. So..of course Tom had to buy some for Rusty!!

 

Isn't this really neat? It's a piece of a pallet. With the cutest little birdy picture on the front. Then she accented it with those beautiful flower pots. Wish I had a place to hang it!

 

 

Then we headed down to see our friends, the Browns. She makes every kind of jelly you can imagine! Our favorite is Bumble Berry! When the kids were here a few years ago, Ashley bought a jar for her fiance. They got so hooked on it...we sent them some as a Christmas gift! ha! Also, they have the best grass fed beef! They  had a sale on the hamburger, and we love their soup bones! So of course, I had to have some of them too.

 

I thought this lady had so many pretty shawls..they just shined in the light! (My photos aren't that great, have you ever tried to see your display on a digital camera in the sunlight??) Not sure how to correct this problem. Anyone know what to do???

 

This is the pie lady! Remember, when we bought a couple pies the last time we were at the Market? We took one to the potluck and kept the other one here for us. Anyway, I was telling her how good they were!

 

On Saturday's she brings in her food trailer and cooks different items! She said last night (they had lots of rain and hail) she went out to set up the trailer and have it ready to head out at 4 a.m. this morning...and found that the hail had broke their skylights and there was water all over inside!! She had to clean that up before they could get things ready!! What trials people have to go through.. Bless her heart!!

 

We headed out and Audrey was waving at us..."see ya"!! smile..

 

And with that..."See Ya!"
