As far as I’m concerned, Saturday is market day. I’ve chronicled my market excursions a few times in the past, which you can see here. The public market is open Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays; more vendors come on Saturdays and, consequently, so do more people. I went to the market alone this morning and was greeted with the following:
And with that, I began my shopping and snapped a couple photos along the way:
Happy market day!
“But won’t kill you makes you stronger; and you just tell them – you got that from your dad.” – “Father’s Day,” Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers
On Father’s Day, we celebrate, remember, laugh with, and love our fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and those who we have come to view like fathers over the years. Days like Father’s Day and Mother’s Day are, for me, days of celebrating family. And since a picture’s worth a thousand words, here are a few pictures to honor my dad and rejoice in my family today.
And for those musically inclined, Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers have a lovely song about today, appropriately titled “Father’s Day.” The band recently broke up, but Stephen is still producing music. You can learn about Stephen (and the band) here. I highly recommend this group for those who enjoy country-rock, folk, and acoustic music.
Happy listening and happy Father’s Day!
The musical Oklahoma! was remarkable not because of the depth of its story, but because of the joy openly displayed and the excitement it garnered from the audience. Musical theatre took off at this point, thanks to the talents and dedication of Messers Rodgers and Hammerstein. Oklahoma! is, perhaps, too cheery and too bright to truly reflect daily life, but Curly McLain’s opening song, “Oh What a Beautiful Mornin’,” certainly captured the beauty of today’s sunrise.
