Quiet Gardens, Raging Seas Part Deux
A String of Nevil Family MomentsDefine It…
The other night on the presidential candidates interview Rick Warren did with McCain and Obama, he asked them an interesting question that I’ve been mulling over for a few days now. He asked them to define “rich” with a numerical value. McCain kinda dodged it and I laughed when he said someone who makes an annual income of 5 million. Sorry…that’s comical and out there to me. But Obama’s answer wasn’t much better. He said someone who makes an annual income of 250,000. Seriously?
So it got me thinking, what number would I assign if I had to define “rich”? You guys tell me what you think and I’ll post in the comments once we get things rolling.
P.S. Now I know someone is going to go philosophical on me….so don’t. We know that rich doesn’t always mean or reference money..this is just light-hearted fun talk kids. K?
It’s Always Fun at the Farmer’s Market!
I know I had a deep political post back there…don’t want to freak you guys out too much! Ha ha ha! Anyway, we did do other things besides watch cool presidential interviews over the weekend. We went to the Puyallup Farmer’s Market! We love to go down to this market - probably because it just feels familiar. I’ve heard Olympia and Tacoma have good ones too though. (I never get to the Tacoma one because Thursdays are just not a good day for me!)
Here are some fun pictures of the market this past Saturday.
We bought and ate the blackberries on the left pictured here and they were SO good and sweet and big! YUM! We love to just snack on fruit while we are walking around. It’s so fresh and tasty!
These eggplants weren’t the prettiest we saw, but they are so happy and purple. I love the green and purple color contrast.
I love this sculpture that is at Pioneer Park. It’s called “New Beginnings” and is an adult (man’s?) hand cradling a tiny baby! AH!
So sweet!
And this picture is for my sissie, Jessie, who loves Stargazer Lilies. They had tons of them Jess and they were SO fragrant and beautiful!
This last picture is “Bad Toupee Guy”. He saw I was trying to take a picture of the violinist playing in front of the market with the vendors in the back ground and he ACTUALLY jumped INTO my picture. No sir, you are not funny, Bad Toupee Guy. I wanted that picture - not a picture of you. Thanks a lot.
Anyway, we left that day with a bouquet of flowers (white lilies and purple dahlias!), a raspberry cinammon roll, a carton of blackberries (well, we ate them there), a few patty pan squash and some kettle corn! It was a fun day.
There…hope that helps offset my political rant previously posted. 
He he he he!
