As an excuse to listen to an audiobook loaned by my sister for our long ride from Michigan back to Tennessee, my husband and I drove to Sparta for lunch. On our way back, along Burgess Falls road, we stopped at the MMKM Family Produce Market, in Baxter hoping to pick up a watermelon or some fresh corn.
What we got instead was snapped at by the owner for DARING to open the cooler and peel back a little of the husk to get a look at the corn that he assured us they did not spray with chemicals. He said that if we bought six ears of corn, he would give us eight. I guess to make sure that we got six edible ears? Maybe he should think twice about not spraying because the corn looked awful, the peaches were mushy looking and his attitude sucked.
I'm not so sorry mister that you lost a customer today.

Jumpin' Jehosaphat! Just Baked!
Our Younger Daughter dragged us (kicking and screaming ... NOT) to Just Baked! at Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi on our last night up north. OMG !!!!!!!! If you have NEVER been there go NOW! JB has a version of Sanders Bumpy cake called Grumpy Cake cupcake. Yes, I said cupcake. To die for. DH enjoyed a grasshopper cupcake and YD selected some for her work pals. It was such a welcome snack after those Buffalo Wild Wings hot wings.
It's a good thing we don't live near there any more!

Ramblin' Around
Shortly before DH and I left on vacation we purchased a GPS unit for my CR-V. His car came equipped with an integrated one, but I dare you to get more than a suitcase in the trunk of his Civic Hybrid. It's small and a little uncomfortable on long trips.
So the GPS, which we call "Vee" after my CR-V, tells us where to go. We found she is especially handy in telling us which lane to drive in. Especially in cities like Cincinnati, where you really do want to be in the right lane.
This morning, before we left Wixom she directed us to a bank. Then she directed us onto I-96 and then I-275 for the start of the 600+ mile trip home. On our trip north, she was nice enough to alert us to delays via her traffic and maps feature.
Now DH is learning some of her wonderful features.
