Yesterday i woke up early and Cody picked me up to work the Alachua farmer's market. it was really fun to be on the other side of things, selling the beautiful veggies that i've been helping grow. this market is for serious shoppers--they keep the gates closed until 8:30 then ring a bell and the crowds flood in, armed with wagons and carts. the last of the lettuces, some nice okra and eggplants and beautiful herbs flew of the tables. we realized quickly that "heirloom fingerlings" would sell better then "russian banana potato", tried to give away as many giant zukes as we could and snacked on blueberries.
afterward, cody took me out to eat lunch with the fam at the daily green--they do a veggie trade for food there, so i had a delicious squash/bacon soup and a bacon-raddiccio-tomato sandwich on sourdough. those kids are super cute, especially the badass sofie (4) who went up the counter to wait on line and order herself a grilled cheese.
after an afternoon of decadent lounging and a smoothie, i pulled myself back together for my last solo Fat Tuscan gig. 3 hours of background music at an italian restaurant. Michele, the owner, is travelling in Asia right now so it feels like mom's away. all the people there know me now and its a really relaxed vibe. i set up on the porch and a russian family's little girl twirled and sang along to my songs. took a break for ceviche-and-pasta salad dinner, played some more tunes, and then enjoyed my coconut-lime cheesecake.
just a little snippet of the sweet things that come my way.
things are looking good for the move. i think i found a place to live and a place to train, probably the most important things for my sanity. still need a bike. but its all rolling along in good time.
i will really miss the dojo and my Sifu, but... I will be baaack!!!
