Slept in again this morning! after 6 am , wow ! About 7:30 I headed out for a nice country walkabout and ran into Patsy on her way back home. Such a beautiful day it is going to be.
 |
| hey Patsy, good morning |
About 8:30 this morning Bill and Pasty, took Rob and Pat in their car and we followed them in our car with George and Rose to the
Tuesday farmers Market and stock yards in Keady. About 40 minutes away. We were here last year and a few times many years ago. Always a great market.
 |
| very small village in the middle of Ontario farm country |
We parked in a huge field and walked the market. The 8 of us split up and agreed to meet back at this entrance in 2 hours (11:30).
 |
| Rose and George ahead of us |
Now we wandered, check out things not much we need other than consumables, but always enjoy great farmers markets.

 |
| fresh corn $4.00 for 13 |
 |

About 10:40 Suzie was hungry, no breakfast, So we bought some sausage rolls and split an order of fresh cut fries.
 |
| this is a busy spot but they are quick and good fries |
 |
| sausage rolls and fries we split, did the trick |
Also ran into Bill, Patsy , Rob, Pat, George and Rose about the same time we carried on a bit more.

On the way back from the Keady Market we stopped by the Moto Cross park near Chatswiorth Ontario , the link for this facility is
HERE , Where our grandson (number 4) is for a week. Training at the camp and having the time of his life. Non stop activities . His birthday was yesterday just turned 11 years old and is an amazing young guys that love his sports and action of all kinds AND does very well at all of them.

not far from our place at Bill and Patsy,s in Durham |
 |
| a nice country drive back to the ridge |
 |

It was a quiet afternoon as everyone relaxed after our busy morning excursion at the market. Then a bit of a Happy hour chatting and comparing notes.
 |

Chatting for awhile glad it was not to hot and sunny, quite a warm summer day.
 |
| Good friends George and Rose |
Soon time for supper, griledl a couple of cobs of corn and reheat 2 leftover hamburgers on our Weber Q. They are cooked so just heated up in foil for a bit with some BBQ sauce, very moist and tasty.

ReplyDeleteToo bad that you don't have any good markets like this, they are so nice to explore.
DeleteMoto cross is so much fun, I did that over 55 years ago and had a ball !
Trails to explore are always fun.
What a great day! WE used to have a farmers market once a week here in Yerington, but this year they didn't do it, not sure why. Grandson #4 has the best smile! How cool he's ready to move up! Gotta love that hair, reminds me of my grandson Mason's hair! Ours have dirt bikes too and they love them. Happy hour looks wonderful as always and so did your dinner! Fresh corn! Those huge tomatoes make me want a tomato with mayo on white bread!! YUM.
