Playing Hookie for a Good Reason


OK, OK, we missed setting up last Saturday at the market, but family comes before commerce, and I think sometimes people forget that. You get busy, and suddenly years have gone by and you find that the people you love most have grown up and sprouted families of their own. Sometimes you gotta just stop and celebrate that! My brothers came in from Vermont and Arizona, my sisters from St. Louis. If you didn't guess by now, I'm the one in the peace sign T-shirt, looking very happy to see my siblings after so much time. Peaceacre Farm will be set up at the 10th St. Community Farmer's Market as usual on Saturday, July 18th, so stop by and say hello!
