Mornings, Farmer's Market, and Other Adventures

Saturday morning, Lynne got to see "Bekah unplugged." AKA Bekah before coffee. It's a small wonder we're still friends. (I think I scared her.)

Here was our funny story from the morning. We went into the restaurant at the Inn, where they served a continental breakfast. While I was waiting for them to find more coffee (you understand the urgency of that...I know you do...) Lynne and I witnessed the following scene featuring a bride (who appeared to be about 12 years old) and her entourage, including her mother.

Bride: Where's my key? I can't find my key. I need my key!
Mom: Is it in your pocket?
Bride: Where's my phone? I have to call him to make sure he doesn't leave the room! Where is my phone! Give me your phone! Why aren't you looking for my phone?
Mom: Here. And your phone is over there on the table.
Bride (calling groom): I can't find my key! Have you left? Don't leave!
Mom: Have you checked your pocket?
Bride: Oh! There it is! Wow. I am SUPER calm today!

Really??? That is super calm?? I was ready to call the groom myself and advise him to think again.

After I was adequately caffeinated, we embarked on our first adventure of the day, which was walking back downtown to go to the Farmer's Market! I was SO excited, because as you might remember, going to a Farmer's Market was on my livin' list for this summer!
The Farmer's Market was ADORABLE. It lined a whole street and there were all sorts of people selling all sorts of things. Herbs....

Paintings...music...
Gorgeous flowers....
...More herbs. Check out those super cute soup rings at the bottom of the picture!

Proof that I was at the Market! We didn't get to buy anything because we were going to be gone all day and while the car was parked, it would be blazing hot and anything we'd get would die a painful death. But we did dearly love walking through and soaking up the experience.

And as we walked to and from...it was so neat to see all the people out at the sidewalk tables, drinking their morning coffee, taking the dogs for walks, and carrying baskets toward the Market. I'm telling you - most darling place to live!!
