Often, they may be held once per week throughout the summer time and slip weeks, and you'll find everything sold on a farm, which includes meats, eggs, dairy, baked items, processed merchandise, and TONS of refreshing fruit and veggies!

As a matter of fact I was on my way to California three weeks ago when I was suddenly detained by security at the airport and removed from the premises causing me to miss my flight. Seems another world traveler took exception to the tee shirt I was wearing that my dear mother gave me!<br /><br />I didn’t get to go to California but I did stop on the drive home at a Mexican restaurant just off The 95 for a couple tacos. I then decided to stop by my brother-in-laws house on the way home, which, by the way, is not exactly the Bellagio, and we enjoyed a cold one from our nylon lawn chairs while watching the grass sprinkler rotate to Ringo Starr’s “Goodnight Vienna”. <br /><br />Well before it got too late and after tripping over the pink flamingo yard ornaments, I headed home thinking about what could have been, if only that lady at the airport with the fancy flowerdy handbag didn’t take exception to me expressing my thoughts through my summer wardrobe. <br /><br />Maybe next year I’ll be eating fish tacos while stranded alongside The 110. But one thing I do know….when I go to the airport, I’ll be sure to wear my shirt inside-out! <br /><br />.....The MartianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740949879488808522.post-53400318848634683202009-08-19T16:04:18.397-04:002009-08-19T16:04:18.397-04:00What a fabulous holiday - thanks for a great insig...What a fabulous holiday - thanks for a great insight into sunny California!

We've been to a couple of their shows, loved every one of them. I found a lady who makes some of their felted outfits, unbelievable! Now that would be my dream job, besides the one I have now at Wegmans of course. Welcome back my dear, sounds like you had a ball and oh my goodness those baby flamingo's are adorable!
