A Day Out

Senior and the crew took off to do some shooting. He needed guy therapy. So it was me and the boys. Knowing that my parents sit at home 6 days out of 7. I had the novel idea to invite them off with us.   
They came to our house to meet Mosin, then we headed off to the Island. And had a great burger at a local place that is a former gas station. 
Since my parents never exercise, I made them walk. First we went to the local farmers market...dang it! I had no cash on me. There was a lady selling honey and beeswax candles.   Oh well, maybe I can ride back down next Saturday....

Then we stepped in to the local "Sweet Shop" where this Snotty Candy Girl didn't want to answer our questions. God forbid she has people watch her make candy.Then they got even snottier because we did not buy any of their $17.00/pd Fudge. 

Then we walked to the end of the street and walked around the marina..  It was cold, windy and cloudy. Even the Pelicans were freezing: 

 I like this panoramic of the Marina. There is a little seafood restaurant I am hoping Senior takes me to for my Birthday next month. What day you ask? Here is a hint: Its a day hallmark created to sell more cards...

My Parents were ready to call it a day, so the boys and I went home collected Mosin and took him to the Pet Store. ND picked out new fish for his tank, and Mosin got a little buggy ride. He was exceptionally well behaved, and enjoyed his little field trip.  We just bought that harness Two weeks ago and it is all ready fitting tight. Time to find a bigger one.

Hot Date at the Farmers Market...

Senior and I took a day to ourselves, we started the morning off at the LDS Cannery and made a nice sizable purchase. It was also a rare occasion that we got to actually do some "canning"..which is always a treat. We are a bit sad that the nice "sister" and her husband that we have become so familiar with are leaving the area and in April new replacements will arrive.

We then headed off to our local Farmers Market.. I LOVE that place. I remember going as a child, it had become very run down, but our city stepped in and re-modeled it in to something very nice. I always enjoy seeing all the "colorful" people out selling their produce, its so much like being in another country... Today the air was rich with the aroma of boiling peanuts and fresh strawberries.The weather was awesome and it was very enjoyable for me to just stroll around and smell all the good things.

 For 20.00 we hauled in 1/2 flat of strawberries, a head of cabbage, a head of broccoli, 6 pounds of dry goods like Lima beans, black eyed peas and popcorn. and about 4 pounds of red potatoes. and just for our tomato eating little one, 2 baskets of cherry tomatoes..He will be so happy when he comes in from school and See's his "treat".

So tonight--its gonna be a real "Throw Down" for supper:..Pork Chops, Cabbage and Red Potatoes...mmmmm. And afterwards, strawberries for dessert.
Senior and I then ended our little outing at the markets sandwich shop, and cool glass of cherry limeade...
