Saturday, November 5 - WARNING.....WARNING – To all you Rv'ers that know the best time to drive through Houston is on the weekends, you might want to reconsider that from now through most of December. All lanes of I-45 will be closed Friday evening through Sunday every weekend so a damaged bridge can be re-built. This will cause massive delays on I-10 and all the Interstates around the city by people trying to bypass this closure. We recommend making the drive straight through the city during the week between 10:00 and 3:00. GOOD LUCK!
We are still at the Houston Elks Lodge in Stafford, TX. This morning was a great time to attend the Farmer's Market at Imperial in nearby Sugar Land, TX. We attended this market last year and had such an enjoyable time we wanted to go back today. This isn't a huge affair. About 30-40 booths selling everything from delicious pastries, fresh veggies, barbecue sauces, handmade crafts, and other interesting items.
Lots of doggie booths.
This gal has everything that is delicious!
We only purchased a couple small pastries for breakfast and some bread Marsha enjoyed last year. This girl is of India decent and has about a dozen different India breads and sauces. All with a very unusual and interesting taste. Paul preferred the blueberry sconce.
Paul couldn’t wait to get to the car to eat his purchase. Yummy!
We enjoyed looking at all the items for sale and especially enjoyed talking to the friendly people working in the booths. We always ask if it's okay to take a photograph for our blog and that leads to many interesting discussions of our lifestyle. Most everyone is very interested in hearing about our travels and quite a few dream of a similar lifestyle in the future. It also serves as a good excuse why we can't purchase many of the items they are selling. :-)
Paul finished up the door window install by building a valance above the door for a window blind. Looks great.
The weather has been beautiful but sometimes a bit hot here in Houston. The temps are anywhere from 80-90 degrees. The nice days bring beautiful night skies.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y’all back real soon. Have a great day!
It's been awhile since we've been to a nice farmers market. I love when the fresh produce is available. Your one photo with all those beautiful greens and squash would have been a winner for me. We would have left with bags of greens and a couple squash which are our staples this time of year. I do occasionally enjoy a good bread stand, too. Paul, you did a wonderful job on that window and shade with a valance, as well! Beautiful sky!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the sunset pics.
ReplyDeleteyou only bought one sconce? I'm with Paul....It would not have made it to the truck
Love the local farmer's markets, always fun to check things out.
ReplyDeleteThere's a great Farmer's Market in Mesa. It's huge and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables stock the shelves. The parking lot is usually packed too.
ReplyDeleteScones, ah something else I will have to bake for y'all. Great craft booths here at the Giant Omelette Festival.

ReplyDeleteI'm still totally amazed at the completed window job in your door.
ReplyDeleteI love Farmer's Markets... takes me forever to wander through them. I see your Cleveland Indians above the door... thought of you this past week... so sorry....
ReplyDeleteThe valance provided the perfect finishing touch to your window project! Farmers' Markets have so many tempting things! Always love seeing the variety of goods!
ReplyDeleteHaving that excuse not to buy can be a helpful thing. But, I might have bought more than one scone. :)
ReplyDeleteFresh Baked Breads are Kathy's vises. Can't blame Paul for eating it before getting to the car.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the Door Window Paul.
Nice Pictures.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Good tip on the closures. From where we will be living at Advanced in December, we shouldn't have to worry about any of this ... but you never know :-) Handy man that Paul ... good job on the valance.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up on I-45 and I-10. We will in the area December 6 to 16. Staying up in Conroe but visiting daughter in Pearland.
