Morning out in Carrboro

This morning we went out to the Carrboro Farmer's Market. We have heard from many people (thanks Mr. Kruidenier) about it. I spoke with one of my dearest friends, Laurie, last night and she met us there with two of her three boys.

Little side note here . . . Laurie and I go way back. We met in college and we were both each other's maid of honor. She has moved several times, but we have remained very close. She was in town visiting with family, as her husband Chad has been in Mexico with missions.

We were very impressed by this farmer's market. It was so nice. There were tons of beautiful plants and flowers, as well as brightly colored vegetables. The boys bought themselves a few cucumbers again. We bought some fresh rainbow chard, beans, and lettuce.

We followed Laurie out to her family's farm. They have several acres in the country. It is country living on a grand scale. There are cows, dogs, a pond, big ranch home with porch, lots of tall trees, playground, and blackberry bushes.

Laurie's boys names are Owen, Griffin and baby Tate. They are all beautiful and full of life. It was so special to be with her and her children, as I am not able to very much. The last time we were together they visited us in Boone just before Tate was born.

The kids just played and played. We had a wonderful time. I am so thankful for her family. She is living a sweet life in Tennessee now. They are living for the Lord with joy and purpose.
