The Sunday Salon: The Farmer’s Market, The Pet Fair and Stuff

Farmer's Market

Happy Sunday! I rolled out of bed this morning and hit the local Farmer’s Market. It’s been years since I’ve gone. One could easily get carried away there but I was good and only picked up a few things. Granted, some things were eaten while there so this photo is missing a few items and I gobbled up the hot tamale that I picked up there too and of course I forgot to include the fresh eggs. Nothing like a fresh tamale for breakfast. Jack cheese, peppers and white corn…yum!

After that, we hit the pet fair but The Girl had a horrible stomach ache so we had to turn back. We managed to see a few cute animals but couldn’t really check any of them out with her writhing on the floor. I think we are getting close to getting another pet. Maybe within the next year.

Right now we are cleaning up the house. It’s not the funnest thing to do but after a week off, it has to be done. If I get it done quickly then I can do some reading later. I am reading The Reapers are the Angels and it’s totally bizarre. It’s perfect that I am reading it before Halloween because let me tell you, it will creep you out. I am about halfway done with it and there were parts where I just opened my eyes wide and thought…oh no…he IS going to go there. Think of a world where Zombies are called “Meatskins” and Slugs. Ick.

Later on, we are supposed to have dinner with friends. The Girl seems to be bopping around just fine now so perhaps it was just too much “goodness” at the market that did it.

I was out and about all weekend so I missed the read-a-thon entirely. Hope you are all getting some much-needed rest.

The Sunday Salon: 105 Degrees is not Fall!

The Girl in Pink Mask

My body is telling me it’s time for Halloween, Pumpkin Lattes, spice-scented candles and cool, breezy afternoons but instead, good ole Mother Nature is blasting us with 105 degree heat! It’s like an inferno out there!! But, that didn’t stop us from checking out all of the Halloween stores. Gosh, there are so many of them this year. Do you think it’s a sign that the economy is finally turning around? I swear, there is a store on every corner this year.

The Girl in Mask #2

I love masks, but I can’t wear them over my glasses. Aren’t these pretty? I could wear them and stumble around blind as a bat but as entertaining as that might be to watch, it probably wouldn’t be all that much fun for me.

In other news, the Girl has lost quite a few teeth recently. Thank goodness because picture day had her with two horribly twisted “snaggle” teeth. I can’t wait to see how the pics turned out. I thought about having her skip them but these are memories after all. Right?

The Boy in Hideous Mask

The Boy is going to be a scarecrow, a horrible disfigured one but the mask hasn’t come yet so he tried this one on for fun. Isn’t it horrible? I am thinking Stephen King’s IT.

The Hub

The Hub just HAD to get in on the fun. I hate these masks the most. They show just enough eye detail to really freak you out. I had a mask on at one point too but The Hub cut my head off in the pic. He is always doing that so no, I do not have a photo of me in a mask.

Sunday Salon Button

However, another blogger did scare me quite a bit when she suggested that I read A Suitable Boy with her. It’s nearly 1500 pages long. What’s even more scary is that I just may do it. However, I went to the bookstore yesterday and they only had one copy and it was all tattered and torn. It’s not available for my Kindle either so I may need to order it.

A Suitable Boy Book Cover

I am off to a BBQ and for some time by the pool, but to be honest with you, I can’t stand it when it’s this hot. I would be just as happy staying in my nice, cool house with a book in my lap. What am I reading? Well, I just started Wolf Hall. Wish me luck!
