How Thoughtful

I was working in this lady's house, installing some tile the other day (big surprise), and somehow the topic of farmer's markets came up. Now I've only been to the farmer's market downtown once this year. I like to try to go about once a month, this way you get fresh veggies when they come in season. Well, I had expressed my disappointment to her about not finding any beets so far this year. She hadn't seen any either, and she sided with me in our adoration for the lovely purple veg. I returned this afternoon to finish her job, and she surprised me with a gift from the Village Point farmer's market, you guessed it, beets! I just thought it was such a thoughtful act to pay attention to what I was saying, and not pass it off as small talk. Everybody does it, but not many act on it. How cool. It just dawned on me though, I hope she doesn't think I will work for food:) Anyway, if you find yourself in Des Moines, IA, check out the farmer's market downtown. Rumor has it, it is the second largest in the country!
