May Day at Topeka’s Farmer’s Market

I hadn’t been to the farmer’s market for awhile, at least since they moved to the parking lot closest to the Kansas Judicial Center. The Farmer’s Market is kind of like a carnival! The Farmer’s Market really is like the Renaissance Festival only in real time (no period costumes etc!).

I probably saw at least 8 people that I know and met another 4 or 5. I met one man that I went to 3rd grade with (Bill James) playing the guitar. I don’t remember having seen Bill for at least 25 years. Bill had been working in various National Parks working as a guide for things like white water rafting trips and things like that. I even saw my dentist and his wife there, Mark Hall (good thing I had just been in last week for a clean and check!).

I’ll probably be going again next Sat. morning as I understand another long time friend, Ron Owens will be there playing the guitar. Come on out and get your tomato plants!!

Dancing Lady Liberty Topeka

A familiar site around Topeka during tax prep time is the dancing liberties around town. I wonder thought how many people stop and visit with any of them. This lady was very nice. She says that she has gotten to know some of the people that drive by frequently. Some of the frequent passers by wave and honk when they go by. It helps pass the time.
