5 February 2011

Woke up round 7, Dave watered the garden while I made coffee and we were off to the farmer’s market. Yipeeee! It wasn’t rainy like it was the week before, so I was excited to see some more vendors. The market definitely was busier than last week. We picked up tomatoes, corn, 2 bags of onions, hot peppers, 3 avocados and some flowers for Dave’s Mom. The guy who sells the avocados is really nice and mentioned how I am going to be substitute teaching for her classroom. It was cute and funny how word gets around and this is such a tight knit community here. Love it!!!
At pack n save we spent a fortune on: 2 yogurt packages, brown rice, cottage cheese, orange juice, veggie bullion, some braeburn apples, a loaf of bread, dish soap, honey roasted peanuts, 6 bottles of wine and 2 cases of beer. The wine was on sale, so I wanted to stock up.

We then stopped in Empire Mart for hinges, a notebook, planner and to look at fabric for photographing Dave’s guitars. Then, we stopped by a car dealership and the gentleman who was working was a really nice guy. He directed us to a woman down the road who just put a for sale sign in a really nice car. We drove by the car and it was super cute!!! It has 55,000 miles on it, 4 door little grayish hatchback Toyota called a starlet, for $5,500. Hmmmmm…. Wondering if I should spend that much money on a car…. But its only around 4000 American dollars. Guess I’ll figure it out.
We came home, made breakfast with leftover rice, beans, some toast, eggs and salsa. It was pretty yummy. Dave finished putting the final bells and whistles on the screen door while I tidied up and then we Skyped with the fam. I loved seeing them again! Next week I will call a bit later though, cause they were just getting back from work. They told me about the blizzard and Thunder Snow. That’s insane!!!
After talking with the fam, Dave and I rode our bikes to the beach and took a quick dip. We were both sweaty, cause it was super hot.

We got home, started making snacks and Dave’s fam invited us up for dinner with them. How could we refuse? They are super sweet, plus, I was craving meat earlier in the day and they were having burritos. Yum!!! After dinner, we watched Chapelle Show and I nearly died! Its been so long since I saw that show, and its so funny!!! Nice way to end the evening.
