@hollydolly some of your vegetable prices are “Practically free “. Your vegetable /fruit stands are more elegant than what is in my area. Yours reminds me of the ones I saw when I lived in Southern California.
@Sliverfox I have been to Fryburg but it was many years ago when I lived on the OH/PA BORDER. We had a camp in Newmansville; I will think of the name of the road when it doesn’t matter, but one direction took us right into Marionville. Used to be a lot of open vendor set ups, in Marionville, on the weekends during the summer

One of the girls my son had gone to school with stopped with her husband, on their way to their youngest daughter’s softball tournament . I hadn’t seen them since 2004, so it was a great, albeit occasionally tearful, visit. They helped with a few easy things that I should be able to to myself but can’t— like get up on an 8’ step ladder to change a light bulb without blacking out

They had to leave late afternoon to get to the motel near where the tournament is. I sent them with the rest of the King Cake, pulled pork, BBQ sauce and sides from the best BBQ place in the area.
They want to come back for a longer visit, but that’s tough to do when you own your own business. My brother is a plumber and works for himself. He missed coming down last Fall so he may or may not make down here in a few weeks, like he wants to.
It was a great day, a peaceful country day, my dogs were well behaved, and the onery Arabian thought it was great the husband gave him forehead scritchies while he was eating
