Yesterday morning, Lavoisier and I sat on the couch to enjoy a nice conversation one last time before she left. It was special.
She gave me a whole list of things I need to do and places I need to go and things I need to eat in this lovely town. She has books and pamphlets on things you can do here and she put exclamations next to all the good ones. She wrote down all the good things to order at all the good restaurants. Good.
And then she left me with this last piece of advice. And I quote, "You should get a boyfriend. Well, first you should go to Europe. Then you should get a boyfriend."
And then she left. Tear, tear. But I have her address so we can be pen pals. She said I could either get a facebook or promise to write her letters. I chose letters.
One place she told me I had to go was the farmers market they have on Saturdays.
So, after she left, that is exactly where I went.
It was by this adorable park with a big playground a river running through it.
There were a bunch of venders selling things like vegetables, breads, honey, pastries, jewelry, accessories, milk, eggs, rugs, aprons, furniture, and everything else you can think of.
There was a little band thing with old ladies singing songs. They were actually pretty good. And they really weren't that old.
And there was fresh lemonade.
The whole thing was just charming.
Here are my purchases from the morning:
An adorable little clutch, and two rings. All homemade.
I bought this from an old lady. She put it in a little bag and said, "Wear it in good health!"
Don't you worry ma'm. I most definitely will.
