| | The small town girl in me comes out every Thursday during summer. I plan my entire day around being in downtown Sparks, NV by 5pm (though sooner means better parking). I plan out what fruits and vegetables I want, plan a route to walk around the booths on Victorian Ave, and make sure a stop at the lemonade stand is part of the budget.
I also plan what I'll wear. It has to be comfortable but I have to take into consideration the possibility of running through the fountains with my niece. Whites aren't generally an option.
Then there's dinner to be considered. I buy strawberries that were grown without pesticides so I don't have to worry about washing them if I need something to munch on. But sometimes the soft plumbs or the sweet peaches call to me so I have to make sure I've at least had a snack before leaving.
Then we take our goods back to my parents house and sit in the back yard to nibble a bit. We generally drink iced tea if the lemonade's already gone. One of us will chop up the lemon halves from our drinks and add them to the mulch bin.
I may pine for the bigger cities and all they have to offer the rest of the week, but Thursdays are reserved for my home town.
