open "air" market

the adventure began with "the terrible awful" underway... there was therefore no avoiding the turbulence in the open "air" market... nevertheless we sought out to obtain our perfect day in the bottom of a fresh popped kettle corn bag.  oh, our sad demise.  dog barking from parked car.  patio-patrons rubbernecking... apply shock collar to barking dog... set out on foot... sample everything in the market because gabel can not resist... take an orange juice bath whilst offering samples to tyke... feel the "air" begin to set it's highfalutin hippie hands upon me like a dark cloud... clamour for the coveted kettle corn... retrieve size: small bag of corn... leave without change...

"the terrible awful"

it was saturday... wide open, just me & the boys, do anything we please... saturday.  sure the stars were aligned in such a way to obscure any and all sense of order but that wouldn't hinder our positive outlook.  we set out... not having driven in 7 months, powered by peady, for... i thought home... perhaps pick up warmer clothes... the weather could change... plus the bank is near the house.  wait.  i think there's a bank downtown, that's next to the farmer's market... yes on second thought... go there.  flip the peady.  forget the clothes.  utter discombobulation from minute one.  probably should have headed straight to the safety of my foxhole home base but in stead i hit the bank.  the open parking stall out front the atm tricked me into thinking stars were aligning in my favor. 

birthday best

yellow streamers and scavenger hunts... gifts from the tot... yummiest stew chicken dinner & brand new converse kix!  For Him: strawberry shortcake morning, pork rib dinner and homemade lemon bars.  sure he got a planter and a front door mat... but really, it's all about the food.

sidenote: homemade carmel popcorn... chef creation!
