We enjoyed the Farmer's Market in Des Moines today with Bobbie and Jeff. It was a warm day, but a breeze kept it from being too hot. First off we made a beeline for
1. dutch letters
2. breakfast burritos, done by a family from Prescott, Iowa - just a few miles from Creston. They're to die for. Later in the morning there was a line a half block long to get one. There must be money in eggs!
3. Fruit (I got some on a stick- pineapple- probably not grown locally...), veggies and bread
4. The others (not me) did the wine tasting. I decided that could be headache material
We took a couple hours walking around checking stuff out. It was very crowded. There were lots of dogs and babies. Dachshunds were popular, but ours stayed home.
After the Farmer's Market visit, B&J headed to visit their girls and we headed to Homemakers to check out beds and couches (they call 'em sofas). I wanted Paul to see what they had there since we've already checked local options at Coen's Furniture, a fam run place here in C-town. We like the Coens. Beds at Homemaker's were lots cheaper but Mike Coen will check out what he can do with the bedding salesman Monday. I'm looking at couch fabrics online.
So far it's been a fab Saturday. Hope you're all enjoying yours!
