Need a laugh ?....

Then you must spend the day with these four friends of mine...
These are my "Older then DIRT friends"...You know... the ones you've known forever and have got enough dirt on you to write a "Worst seller" about you.
We try and get together often and plan special trips...we call ourselves the "Sabines" and that's a WHOLE nother story...for another day.
Last Saturday we left early on a road trip to where-ever the road took us!!!!...only real destination was Interlochen for the Arts in the evening to see a live performance of the "Prairie Home Companion" with Garrison Keillor.
This was our first stop...Cherry Street Mkt. in Kalkaska Mich.
We did some major damage there....
the owner gave me the okay to shoot the place and I did just that...





The colors , displays, and variety are over the top...






Hard not to want a little of everything...










Michigans got the market on hydroponically grown "Golf Balls"...


Yeah ...we got it goin on in Michigan!!!!


They're even FRESH!






A great LAUGHING day...

More to come!


xoxo~Kathy.

  4. I think everyone should have friends like that- ones that can make you laugh and not take you too seriously when you start expounding on something. Love gals like that. Neat place you visited too! xo Diana

  14. I love Prairie Home Companion and Garrison Keillor. Saw him in Columbus, GA a couple of years ago and during one of their radio blurbs they actually wished my aunt a Happy 75th Birthday. She was home listening to NPR on her radio and was so delighted. I love Michigan...especially the cherries in the Traverse area. We ate a ton last summer when we were there.
