Yesterday after the hen party, Joel, Donna and I drove over to Inglewood

to shop at the fresh market.  We bought some satsuma jelly – our new favorite.

We also purchased some kohlrabi, rutabagas and some green garlic, all of which we roasted for dinner.  I got a quart of goat milk, and

Donna picked out some handmade soaps for her girls.

When we left the fresh market, we paid a visit to Joel Smith

at the Saxon Guild, also located on Inglewood Plantation.

Joel and his brother Bob restore art and antiques.  The two of them, along with a few other family members, are very fine musicians and hold concerts there in the shop.

The Smith brothers are interesting to talk to and their shop is a fun place to wander around in.

Later in the afternoon, the three of us walked down to meet Nikki and the kids and watch the Woodworth Mardi Gras parade.

The boys had a fun time picking up the candy and beads that were thrown to them. They actually collected a good bit.

Josie didn’t do too bad either.

It was a beautiful day to be out and about.
