Farmer's Markets

Attended the first Farmer's Market of the year tonight downtown.  It was a very nice market much bigger than I was expecting, both with venders and the amount of people that were there.  I really enjoyed the band that was playing by the water fountain.  This fountain is one that all the children play in, of course I have played in it a time or two.  : ) Being a huge fan of live music of course I stayed and listened to the Bottle Cap Boys for a good while.   I feel that my Thursday nights will now consist of a walk through the downtown Farmer's Market.  Next week I'll make sure to have some cash to actually purchase some of the good looking produce that the people are selling.   Now I need to keep it short tonight.

Summer Time

I am fan of all seasons and love them all.   Each one brings its own joys and adventures.  My summers since I was in college consisted of me leaving and working at summer camps in varies places.  Last year ended that when I needed to stay in Flagstaff and work and while this year my boss simply would not let me take the summer off, guess that's part of growing up.  I can't complain, my summer here has already brought on some exciting adventures.  My days at work are shorter which makes for lots of personal time.

Two weeks ago was a three day weekend and the guy filling in for catering manager offered to work the Tuesday and Wednesday after the weekend so I could take a mini vacation.  So I packed up for the short road trip back to Flagstaff to visit with my Friends.  Of course no one wants to drive 8 hours by themselves so I made my best friend here come along.  KJosh had never been to Arizona before so he was in for a treat.  Everyone was making plans before my arrival in which case I have no clue why its not we ever stick to the plans.  The only plan that we stuck to was a trip to the Valley to party with Chris, Theresa and some other Phoenix folks.

The first night consisted of food at a locale pizza shop followed by brings and catch up at the old watering hole Charlie's/ Zane Grey.  Good times were had that night little too chilly for the patio but also nice and refreshing to sit and people watch below.  Saturday was the trip to Phoenix with a car show and small party.  Sunday Breakfast was consumed with the lovely Rachel.  After many turn arounds back to Chris's for forgotten items a drive up to Sedona to stop at the creek and show Kjosh the beautiful area.  Monday was spent showing him downtown and going on hike in Canyon near by.  Nights of Karaoke at the Green Room were a most just because thats what I did in my days.  Tuesday I spent visiting with old work and getting advice and sharing what I am doing now.  Wednesday was a the good bye to my friends and drive back to Junction.  Of course we took the detour to show Kjosh the grand canyon.  It was a great trip and more will come of it.  We are all trying to plan a meet up in Moab, UT one of these weekends.

Been on a few good hikes here in Junction.  Gone fishing once and going back today here in a little while.   Spent the past week house and duck sitting for a lady at work.  The Ducks were so silly, they sit outside the glass door quacking and waiting for you to go outside to play, but once out there would care less about you.  silly silly duckies I loved every minute of it.

I leave you now with pictures of my adventures thus far.
