Saturday in Paradise

So yesterday Joan and I accomplished a lot while we were out shopping.  I did buy 3 pairs of Crocs that were half price, but don’t tell Dick about them, OK?  He may still have me on a shoe buying ban, but I am passing along to the thrift store at least three pairs of shoes that don’t feel or look so good anymore, so this is a wash, right?  I did find him a nice pair of black shoes that were 80% off (he wins the price for the best deal of the day, dang it).
And today Joan and I bought some nice veggies at the farmer’s market, where one nice farmer gave me the two piddly turnips that I wanted for a batch of soup (I didn’t want the whole bunch).  I tried to pay him, but instead he told me ‘God bless ya,’ so of course I gave him a smile and a big hug, along with my thanks!  Mayberry is such a nice place to live.
Then we were off to a local church that has a fab craft sale each year.  I brought home two BBQ plates for our dinner tonight.  Joan even found a new boyfriend.  Do you think Dan will be jealous of this guy?

So how is your weekend going?  Life is good here in Paradise.

Hey, I thought that was Dan! My bad... It was great seeing you today at the bazaar. There were some very cute ideas (and finds) there!

80% off AND Free turnips?! Wow! Even Dick can't be upset by that!

I did a bit of baking. Yum!

Big hugs :]

Ciao Sandy!!!
I'll not speak! (Why are all husbands so?)
I'm laughing: Google says you bought at a Farmer's market from Nice (France!!!)
This is a wash = ?
My week end is fine: tomorrow is Agnese's Confirmation!

Have a great Sunday!

Ciao!!!

You found Dick some shoes, you certainly deserve some for yourself! Especially getting some comfy ones and moving some uncomfy ones out! I'm sure the festivals were fun, I hated to miss them...but can't be everywhere.
