Nice Weather for the Eighth Market

I realize this is long after the fact, but on our market before we went away, we got killer weather, and it was a welcome change from the previous pattern. The original forecast called for increasing temps and finally scorching weather on Wed, only to taper off and cool down from there. Typical. I think for the first time, we caught a break, and I don’t take that granted for a minute.

In fact, the weather was nice on Wed, and then got hotter later in the week, and it was ugly hot. Makes you wonder how people live in the South, or for that matter, Arizona.

Whatever be the case, I was thankful for a nice day, and sales were good. It was hot, no doubt, but at least there was a steady breeze, making it all okay. In fact, it was nice enough to make you sit back and think that maybe doing dumplings isn’t so bad after all... nah!

It was busy, and we were actually selling dumplings until the zero hour, By the time 6:00 rolled around, the pans were still cranking hot. I had to be careful on the cleanup, but we managed, and then cruised on home to get the kids. They were not that excited to see us, as to be expected, which is not a bad thing because it means they were having a good time. HH actually said she would bring them home, so I went home and started unloading the cars and doing some cleanup.

Thanks much again to JD, my Mentor, and HH for helping out, it made it all possible. It really does take a village, doesn’t it?

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Fred Fokkelman for the pic.
