Where I like to be..

I love Sundays. Getting up reading the Chronicle - it's the day it takes 30 minutes to read rather than 10. We have a system, Dennis guts the ads and grabs Parade and I get the rest. Then leisurely swap.

Not this morning. It's Niles Flea Market and Antiques Fair. Mr. Jeske was to be up at 4am to open the school gates and rent out the yard to a variety of colorful characters. The school uses the monies for sending sixth graders to science camp. Yes, I'm married to a good egg.

This morning, things not so smooth. My eyes popped open and peeked at the clock. 6:20 am, to my left, Mr. Jeske. Trying not to scream "you're laaaaaate" I nudged him up. After a colorful streak of vernacular he was out of bed and out the door.

I followed him out grabbed the paper and came back to start a pot of coffee.

Got a texts from Hillary, the other parent volunteer/hero, keeping Mr. Jeske in check. No to the electric guitar.

Mr. J was home by ten and I was off. Where does one go Sundays at 10 am? The Farmers market of course.


It doesn't look like much, but let me tell you the reasons why I go: white nectaries, pluots, tomatoes, strawberries, lunch box apples and enough veggies to keep a herd of rabbits happy.



Plus, a few of the vendors are from Hughson. Yep yep yep..saves me a 174 mile drive. Of course any time I've tried to ask them about Hughson they look at me like I'm insane - somehow I don't mind. J&J, Rodriguez and Inzana Farms.



Inzana nuts.



And I don't know how you get this gig, but it's pretty sweet; "dude, I killed the Farmers Market".




And these.. Long beans? Anyone know how to prep and cook them?

And as for the flea market, I got on my bike and did a ride down town. Now, I'm not looking for anything so I wanted to get out and see who was selling what. Okay, totally lying, I wanted to see my Mommy buddies.

Peeled out up the street to main and check out the 'antiques'. I'm pretty sure some were fresh off the boat from China and others were straight out of someones dead neighbors house. The food booths smelled amazing. Visited lots of friends along the way, even let someone ride my bike. In short, it was an awesome day.

Now I'm home with two kids cracking out on the computer.

Two more days until school..
