GOOD MARKET DAY

To market,to market we go !!
With early morning phone calls about the chicks I have for sale I was up plenty early today. Got set up and sold well all day. Daughter came in for most of the day from a dog sitting job in Asheville. She got her 2 tables that the neighbor had given up some time ago. We original thought they weren't going to offer her the tables but they did so now she has 2 tables and I have 2 tables so we have plenty of selling space. She worked on the market computer most of the day getting some things they needed set up.
After market I made a couple grocery and supply stops,picked up my Avon order and headed home about 3:30. Hubbie helped me unload and get things put away.
A lady and her 2 daughters came after 3 of the Silkie chicks. Those little girls were surely excited to have their own little chicks.
Hubbie and I grilled the last 2 packs of fresh shrimp that daughter brought back from Beaufort,SC and #1 son and g-son came by to help us eat it with cole slaw and baked potatoes.
After chores we got a slight sprinkle of rain and that was all thankfully for today. There is water standing everywhere.
We do not need any more water from hurricane Issac but he seems to be zeroing in on our area. Not good timing with the Apple Festival this coming weekend that keeps many of the area apple farmers in business.
Hopefully there will be a path change tomorrow when he finally  gets into the gulf of Mexico but for now this is the chosen path,bummer !!
The island of Haiti took a direct hit with flooding and high winds in their already down trodden state still from the earth quake years ago there was not much to protect them from the water and wind.

Actually Issac isn't even hurricane strength yet but he is a huge storm and is predicted to get quite a bit stronger when it gets into the warm gulf waters.
God has a plan for Issac and he will go as God directs that's one thing for sure.
Praying for g-son tonight that he gets over this virus and is able to start school on time Tuesday.
Good Night and God Bless.

A little to the left to us and bring on the rain. This is the driest year we have had since 1937.

So glad your daughter got the tables next to you. I knew at one point we didn't think that would happen.

Stay safe.
