This is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24). While this statement is so true, some days are easier to be glad in than others. I intend to use this blog for encouragement for those other days. Enjoy and God bless.
This was a cool week. We went to the Black Bear Diner in Tracy and they happened to have a bear carving demo. 5 men carved and could carve a bear in 3 hours. There were 6 already made, two sets of bear families, and this one in progress. They were holding a raffle to win one even. The girl shellacks them all.
The San Jose Almaden market on Wednesday is really picking up. Colorful seasonal veggies and berries. The farmers are so creative the way they display it all.
These are two actual sections of the Berlin Wall. My tax man's partner is German and somehow was able to obtain and bring back these historic pieces. The complex he works at is beautiful also with a waterfall a couple of asian style bridges and Koi. Unfortunately Google has bought the property and will destroy it all. Fortunately the Wall will be on display at the Mountain View Library.
These flowers are gorgeous and the lady that sells them was not there at Almaden this week but her daughter was filling in for her. She was so nice and her flowers always sell out fast. At the end of the market she handed me this huge colorful bouquet and said she cut these specially for me because she like the music so much. I always try to make the vendors enjoy it the most because I see them every time and it is a cool community.
I was at the Milpitas market on Sunday and that market starts EARLY. People come as early as 6:30am to stand in line for fish. The guy sells out by 9 and the market technically starts at 8. This is one of the best and busiest markets for me. The people are all so generous and appreciative that one man loved the music so much he put in a twenty. The strawberry vendor across from me gave me three baskets of strawberries at the end he enjoyed it so much. None of this is to brag but to let you know that I have been told no so much that when people acknowledge they enjoy it it really does my heart good and gives me encouragement. I hope you enjoy it as well and remember I have free music downloads on my website. Eat well and I hope to see you at the markets. God bless
