Mom took the kids to Wazoo's and a movie, so I am enjoying some free time. As I run errands, I find myself in various conversations with strangers - always initiated by ME, of course. I definitely took after my mother in extroversion!
I met a young farmer at a local market and we talked about growing trees, flooded cantaloupe fields, gumbo-clay soil, and my one watermelon which was partly eaten by bugs but still delicious.
I bought some cantaloupes and peaches. The guy's friend asked if I wanted to buy a watermelon, but I told him I was out of cash.
So the farmer dude handed me the melon and said, "Aw, just take the damn watermelon. That's how we roll here. I like to see people eat healthy."
Then, at Central Market, as I was buying flours to make a peach cobbler with my bag of peaches (millions of peaches...), I struck up a conversation with a lady who was also buying flours, to make a blueberry cobbler. I pointed out the whole wheat pastry flour, which is healthier but has a white flour consistency, and she bought some.
