Before, During, and After at the Grateful Dumpling

I was talking to R after the market and she inspired in me one of those "ah-ha" insightful moments. We were tired and miserable and yet had to clean up in the aftermath of the local market, and yet we enjoyed doing the market. The local market in particular is a really good time with friends and neighbors.

She came to the conclusion that it is the before and after of the market that makes it a bummer, but that the during is what she really enjoys.

I have to say I agree, but can't quite figure out how to get to the during without the before and after. I'll have to work on that one.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Sigurd Decroos for the pic.
