Sisterly Saturday

Jud and Kara

My sissies

Saturday was market day. The gang went to market to market to buy a fat hen. No...not really. The place was packed - it was hard keeping track of the cherubs - Jud, Kara, Cindy and Betsy. They were still able to squeeze in to sample the wares.

My samplers
 

  Pablo and I purchased:

• red potatoes
• strawberries
• rhubarb (someone made a pie - not me - thank goodness for Laura Goldsmith - she taught Paul how to make crust)

After shopping we headed to Mullets for a bit 'o breakfast. Our cousin Bob Steward met us there - it had been a long time since he'd seen Betsy, Paul and Cindy. Jud had never met him. Nice of him to take time out of a busy day to see us. His dad C.B. was a cousin of our dad - but we saw their fam quite a bit growing up, so they seemed closer than second cousins. His folks were great friends to our parents.

Betsy's Atlantic friend Julie Hanson came over to visit that afternoon. They hadn't seen each other for many years. They had fun remembering their childhood escapades and catching up. Cindy, Betsy and I shopped at Jordan Creek later that day. On the way home Cindy rescued a turtle crossing the road on 68th street - rounding it up back into the weeds so it wouldn't get run over. I would have gotten a photo but the turtle requested no publicity...

We ventured back downtown to Americana for supper that night. The food was disappointing, but the company was fun. We stopped at the sculpture garden for a picture. Loved this shot - it's how we spent much of the weekend. Laughing.

don't know why the two guys behind us aren't laughing...
