That's how it is....

Yesterday as I was blow drying my hair, I saw my Mr. sprinting down the hall past me...I knew exactly what that meant...someone must be at the door. (Not that my Mr. as an aversion to answering the door, but sometimes, he is still enjoying the comfort of our living room in his cozies :D) which was the case yesterday!

So, I head to the door....wondering once again, who would be getting the treat of seeing my hair totally, and I do mean totally straight and flat :D

It was our neighbor, also know as the Raspberry man from the farmer's markets. One of the best thing about the farmer's markets are the friendships made with other vendors....Here he was standing at our front door with an arm load of what else, but Raspberries....not just any raspberries, but the hugest, most flavorful berries around. How do I know you ask??? Well, it's not just my opinion...but, well... the honest truth as heard from others. (Funny little side note is as my Mr. was getting a little coffee at the Pasco market this week, he overheard two ladies talking about the BEST berries ever...and from the description...guess who's they were :D)

Well, Vic had brought those Raspberries for my parents. They were here this past weekend and had come up to the market...My Dad is totally amazed and in wonderment at all the produce available at the markets :D And, I, of course, gave him the tour and introduced him to all our "neighbors". Anyway, Vic just wanted to share some of his "bounty" with my Dad...but, unfortunately they had already left. We gave him some hamburger in return, and he stayed, shared a cup of coffee with the Mr. and visited for awhile!

We are blessed to be surrounded by GOOD people at the markets...and, here's a few other things we came home with this weekend too...some Cherries...(two different kinds), some apricots, blackberries. and homegrown peanuts! Those who labor over their products are so giving to others....and sharing your left-overs is just how it is....And, it's always such a warm, humbling feeling. Even though, our product doesn't have a shelf life (so to speak), we too give it to our "market neighbors" in return. And, the GIVING always feels better than the receiving!

And, because today was the first day of another session of Summer School...and I always like to take a little "something" to my co-workers to wish them a great first day....guess what I was able to share with them....some, nice Big, Juicy Raspberries.... :D

That's how it is......
share what you have.....
and it always, always comes back to you.....
in such Sweet Blessings!
