Local Organic Sale


Today, the little boys, my sister and I had the opportunity to sell at a local/organics market. It was such a wonderful event. We were blessed to sit under trees, there was a light, flowing breeze and the lake was gorgeous. I don't suspect based on the conversation I over heard and the message of most people's clothing that there are a lot of believers who frequent these type of things. Please pray for us we try to be salt & light each week, as we certainly plan to go back.




Here's Simon and I at our table. We did very well today, considering it was our first week out there.



It was very nicely set up. The person we spoke who was in charge, Dr. Taylor, was absolutely a delight. We can't wait to see her again next week. There was a man selling all sorts of cheese. Paige said they were very good. There was a man with mushrooms, people with beautiful, locally grown vegetables and some fruit. Another lady was there selling her home made soap products! I went over and spent a few minutes at her table. I hope to see her again next week, also.


To our left was a lady with her daughter, they were selling a book (I think she wrote it.) and an herbal healing balm. Also, there was a man with bean sprouts and berries, some folks had really neat gourmet dog treats!!! Another vendor was selling a massive amount of delicious looking blueberries. One couple has flowers that were so lovely. Paige bought some for our mother.


Simon looks like he's enjoying himself.

On a completely different note...


Thanks to my Aunt Drexell who helped me solve my tarp dilemma. She suggested I use snap straps to pull down and anchor the tarp. Here are some pictures of her idea in use.

Now the other side.
