An enjoyable Saturday morning

hi everyone,
Just went out to a new outside market with Heather. It's at the old train station, a very nice location as long as the sewage treatment plant is digesting well. It's picturesque, with Boardman lake in the background and the Children's Garden between the station and the lake. It's not only produce but also jewelry, soaps, soups and crocheted items. Arts and Crafts.

Before that we went to Sue Bauer's yard sale of things she cleared out for clients; Heather bought some goggles for the kids and I bought some Arbonne items for $2 each as well as a make up mirror. Not that I wear make up, but maybe I can see better to nab those pesky little hairs.

After Market, we went to have coffee and tea downtown. On the way to the coffee shop we traveled down Union Street, where we had a close-up view of The Red Hat Society's parade- It was a blast! Red and purple ruled. Ladies crammed into convertibles, mini-vans with the doors open, women walking and waving and wearing butterfly-shaped rhinestone sunglasses and every imaginable feathered, beaded, flowered, gauzy, glittery red hat you'd ever want to see. All sorts of ensembles, from long flowy dresses to ladies-who-should-know-better in tight purple leggings. Everyone having a good time!

Then we sat outside to drink our drinks and chat. Thank you Heather for the invitation, I enjoyed it very much!

yeah, i had a wonderful time too. i think i bought 12 gourds! not sure what i am planning on doing with all to them. you know i think i could make one of those pumpkin bouquets pretty easy. not sure how long it would last, but they were really neat. and that pumpkin patch i mentioned has white pumpkins too.

wow great, so i'm impressed you guys are using this! see it isn't too hard. i think it could be nice! we can use this site to upload photos to show everyone as well... that market sounds lovely. i am missing pumpkins! although i made a butternut squash soup for friends last night, a little squash costs about $5...a bit different from there i think!
