Farmer's Market News and Reminder

Hello Everyone!

The time is drawing near for the gourd birdhouse giveaway on "Plant Lady's Ponderings." It will be held on Saturday, May 17 and the winner will be announced here on Sunday, May 18, 2008. Be sure to stop by to see if you're the WINNER!

So far, there are fourteen entries and I hope to get a few more. If you have not entered, just post your name and say "Enter me" and that all there is to it! I'm looking forward to hearing from all of you and if you know of someone who hasn't signed up, please let them know to stop by and enter.

I've been busy painting birdhouses for our local Farmer's Market. Last Saturday was our opening for the season and we had a great crowd! We estimated about 400 patrons and had lots of offerings- vegetables, herb plants, hanging baskets made from recycled materials, jam/jellies, baked goods, and one lady who makes homemade soaps using beeswax and honey from her bees. We had a great time of fellowship as we renewed friendships from seasons past.

Everyone enjoyed the free homemade ice cream that was churned right there at the Market using our fresh fruit. Of course, I provided a churn of blueberry ice cream, which seems to be everyone's favorite! One of the other farmers made three churns of strawberry and peach ice cream. I enjoyed the peach ice cream- it is my favorite!

We had a local elementary school chorus open the Market with a concert and they were great!
We probably will invite groups like that to perform at the market more often.

I guess, I'd better go now because it's almost time to get ready for Wednesday night service at church. I hope you have a great evening!

Be Encouraged!

Thanks for asking and please keep praying. I was supposed to go to the doctor yesterday but I had to cancel due to some other problem. I'm supposed to go Friday. Will let you know what the outcome is. It's all in God's hands. Maybe yesterday was not the time to go or the right doctor to see.
Blessings,
AliceE.

Thank you so much for your prayers and all the other ladies. They worked. I am completely normal, I do not have to have surgery. What I thought was a real problem was not, everything was in the right place. What the problem is, however, is that I'm having bladder spasms which can only be treated by medication - if it comes to that point. Because I've had children, so many spinal surgeries and I'm getting old, well, that's the diagnosis I got.
Praise God for answering prayer. This I can deal with and I still believe that God is healing me and this problem will never happen again. I told the doctor about the Bible study on the internet and that people all over were praying for me. She did not have anything to say but I had to give God the glory.
Thanks again,
AliceE
