Back in July the county we live in had a group of citizens come together and started a farmer's market here in the county. So, a few weeks ago, Haley pushed me to bake a bunch of bread and sell it at the market.

A couple days before the market I put together enough dough to make 9 loaves of bread.

 Here it is all risen after sitting in the refrigerator.

 All shaped and on the second rise.

 All baked and cooling.

 I also made dinner rolls.

 And my famous pretzels.

I also brought 6 dozen eggs and 4 spaghetti squash. When all was said and done we made $80!!  It took an entire day of work, Haley had fun and it felt good to be part of the community.  Haven't done it since, but... I'm thinking we may have to this week.

A Little Crushed!

A few weeks ago when I was really sick and could barely get out of bed, it was necessary for us to buy a few loaves of bread. A week or so after my illness, even when I was up and around again, we still bought a few more loaves as well as hamburger buns.

Last Friday, I got back on to my bread baking schedule. Even made hamburger buns again for burger dinner this past Monday. I have to say they tasted sooo much better!!

Now today, I should be baking bread again, but I've since learned Mike prefers the bought bread!! When I asked him if he wanted to buy a loaf of bread when he went to town today, instead of the response I was hoping to get, "I would prefer it if you baked a loaf, sweetie!" I got, "Sure will!!"

I'm confident he'll say something like, "I just don't like making more work for you." But I know this is his kind way of saying, "I much prefer store bought bread." Remember we've been married 23+ years and I can read the man like a book!

**Sigh!!** Not sure what to do with this new information... feeling a little crushed!
