We did it!!


I am so happy and humbled.

Tonight could’ve been the biggest train wreck of a Market… In four years we’ve never had this number of customers, or products coming in, in a single week. Like everyone else during these crazy times, we’ve had to adjust and attempt to find a new normal (while feeling very Blessed that both the First United Methodist Church and the Miami County Health Dept allowed us to continue to operate).

And yet because of my wonderful vendors, who did everything I had to ask of them, and you fabulous customers, who stuck with us thru the new protocol and learning curve, I’m already at home, not much later than normal, getting the baby to bed and ready to reopen the Market for another week.

I am so Grateful to everyone for their patience, understanding, smiles, kindness, and prayers. This truly is the greatest community. I love being part of it every week. Thanks to Phil Buehler and May Alanzi, my volunteers tonight, who were absolutely stellar. And my biggest thanks goes to my husband and kids, who helped me prepare all week for tonight, and had everything so organized and set up so efficiently this morning even I couldn’t mess it up. Lucy, Joseph, and Mary made it their mission to try to include a handwritten note, drawing, or pleasantry in as many orders as they could (they managed more than half!), and they were just tickled pink when I got home by how many folks had already sent their thanks. It feels good to care about each other. Who doesn’t want to be needed and appreciated? And we certainly all do need each other.

I don’t remember another time in my life when so many folks, outside of my own family, sincerely inquired after my health, or assured me of their prayers. How amazing, and encouraging!

Thank you for making tonight a wonderful experience. Good thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
