Lawrence...

We took advantage of a nice weekend and celebrated a 60th Jubilee for a cousin of mine. She went home to celebrate in Strasburg, ND. Yes, that is where Lawrence Welk was born and raised, my dad too. My sister and I met up with cousins we hadn't seen in years. Young hearts. Several of us cousins "crashed" the Lawrence Welk Family Reunion and listened to good old time music.

On our way home we swung by the Welk farm and toured, hadn't been there in years, a lovely day for a picnic under an old oak tree. We ate cucumber salad and fresh bread, visited , enjoyed the shade tree and lazily walked back to the few cars in the grassy area of a long ago circular drive.

The kids stayed with friends. They went on walks, ate well and slept until the sun came up, just like home. Carlee nearly jumped out of her skin when she saw me walk in the door, Buster knew I'd be back. It's the difference of several years in age and keeping my promise, "I'll be back."

We'll be baking treats this weekend, our inventory is nearly depleted. We'll return to the Farmer's Market Saturday, June 30th. We are enjoying the 1st Day of Summer and enjoying every drop of daylight as today is the longest day of the year.

Enjoy your week friends, call if low on treats and we'll add you to our baking list 224-8592.

Good night, sleep tight and pleasant dreams to you, here's wish and a prayer...and now 'til we meet again, adios, for a walk...Auf Wiedersehn...Good night!

Middle of the street...

...is where the little dog was spotted. Cars drove slow and careful, some honked and drove wild. We were the first out of our vehicle trying to coax him to the side of the road with treats. Down the middle of the street he ran, after all, it is the best view! Another car finally turned around at the corner, they too saw the little guy. He simply disappeared, maybe under a bush or in hopes...home, safe. That's our hope.

Angus and Bud made their appearance at Market's end, what a great surprise, my how Angus has grown! Getting treats of fish and chicks, they thankfully slobbered on shirt and pants, that in itself was a gift for my kids when we got home.

Ginger's Mom retrieved her from the car and Ginger gladly accepted treat samples from little kids that were near by. Ginger did well today! She is beautiful.  One more, Suzy from college. She and family were visiting a daughter that works in my building. A nice surprise on another beautiful day!

Thanks for stopping by, saying hi and in hopes to see you next weekend! If you run short on treats and we're not at the market, call (605-224-8592) or cut/paste us into your browser babsncc@gmail.com  so you don't lose us! Take care friends and enjoy your week!
