“I can’t stand the excitement” – then the familiar smile!

We were disappointed in that there were few tables and basically only fruit – no veggies. What’s with that? So no squash – maybe he had something to do with that. Anyway, under a sunny blue sky we wandered around buying pears, apples and grapes. There was one baking table and a popcorn stand (literally) and 2 craft tables.

After he made his announcement, we headed off to our golf club to eat. It’s one of the few spots he’s comfortable at. No longer golfing, we sit at “our” table and watch couples tee off. It’s Ok – we’ve had our time.

Food is delicious and our server was so sweet. Being new, she was a bit puzzled when I ordered,etc. for us, but all in all, a wonderful, happy way to spend a Friday afternoon.

So we’re off to the weekly farmers’ market in a bit. Every week, we forget to go! Good grief. Didn’t plant Hubbard or acorn squashes this year so would like to stock up. That should be good for a few laughs from my Hon as his opinion of squashes is bad, bad, bad – so I just make stuff and hide the squash in it – and smile to myself as he eats it.

We have fond memories of sitting in our camping chairs, sipping coffee and visiting with people. Always live music and lots of goodies to eat. Suppose more chatting than buying but we’ll see.

I’d like to get this photo enlarged for our bedroom. It speaks of peace and calm to me. (Photo cr to Mark)

Oatman, Arizona

The baby donkeys in Oatman are not allowed to be fed carrots – I think their digestive system can’t handle them. Everyone felt so badly to be feeding the mature donkeys and have the babies follow along.

They are gentle animals as far as we could see but one adult plucked a notebook from my Man’s pocket and it took him and another to “retrieve” it. Must have smelled like carrots.

This is a favorite pic and S&R made it into an 8″ x 10″. Sits in our kitchen as a wonderful memory.
