One of the things I miss about working in downtown Chicago is the summer farmers' market. They were (are) held in a couple of different locations and I would often buy flowers. Going home there would be people carrying farmers' market flowers home on the train. I saw gladiolas on sale at the supermarket, and that is one of the flowers I used to enjoy bringing home from the farmers' market. The one at federal plaza had live music on the first Friday of the month, too- so you could bring your lunch, listen to music and leave with something from the farm.

When I went to Russia with the church team there was a street market near our hotel with beautiful and inexpensive flowers, and pretty hand-made crafts.

We have a year-round farmers' market, about a 20 minute car ride from our house. I love it at any time of year.
There's a great garden store right beside it where I used to work many years ago. At lunch, I would walk over to the market and get some produce.

They all sound fabulous! We have a countless number of them around here, I just couldn't pick a favorite. Some are a lot pricier than others however. I can't wait 'till pumpkin time rolls around, gonna carve a white and an orange one this year 🎃👻💀

Mother in law will be back in October and then Dec. she has announced she needs two cataracts lasered and they need to be done here as she lives in Zhiquataneo and it is more affordable and there are better docs here. They must be done one at a time and I totally understand that. There is no way I will let her drive whilst here as she will be visually impaired and I hope she doesn't drink herself blind as she will be half assed blind for a bit I imagine. That 75 yr. old woman could drink a biker and a sailor under the table....🙄 So many stairs here, 3 floors. God help me, I hope she behaves herself. I am just dreading this whole ordeal. My husband will be working and she has never really liked me for the 30 yrs. I have known her. SO sorry to whine, just imagine it will be a dreadful experience. I actually think she might want to stay for months until both eyes are done. 🤧😰😢😪😬 Just had to get that out, thanks buddies...just stressing about it 🙈 👊🏾✌️

What an absolutely wonderful and thoughtful tribute Barack Obama gave to John McCain's funeral. You Americans must miss an intelligent and compassionate president like him, very much.

I hope things will go well, as well as they can, mon. You and your husband are good to have her stay with you for this.
