I know we have been quiet. Not as busy. Not at as many markets. Not promoting classes as much.
Yes part has been me recovering from the hospital in May.
Yes, part is our crazy busy schedule with a Junior Olympics gymnast, a dual credit student with a part time job, homeschooling, volunteering, etc.
Yes, some was drought stricken farm, followed by flooded farm.
But... a lot has been spending time, every single weekend, some other times, too, with our daughter Journey.
We were Journey's first home at birth, and got to bring her home when she left the NICU. She was with us until she was almost 12. Then she went to live with her birth mother.
If you've ever seen me just going through the motions, walking around on auto pilot, seemingly in another world, but just pushing through...this is where I have been. For 2 1/2 years. Thinking about and missing her. Trying my best to live our lives, keep things going normally for Jocelyn and Jolee. But...Grieving. Mourning. Struggling.
In July, we started getting to see her. Then, very quickly, started seeing her regularly. So she has been our priority every chance we could get her.
And, then, just this week, on Monday....
She came back home. To live. For good.
And we are OVERJOYED to have her home.
All 5 of us are at the Texas Food Championships as vendors today. Joe will be here tomorrow, as the girls and I all travel to San Antonio for a gymnastics meet. And then all 5 of us will be out here again on Sunday.
No Corpus Christi Southside Farmers' Market for us this weekend, but we will be back there next week. No Kingsville Texas Farmers Market for us this weekend either. Journey will be with us at Grow Local Farmers' Market on Wednesday.
This Farmers market is actually put together by Grow Local South Texas. We are a market amongst the Texas Food Championships, competitions, tastings, and more. And obviously we are right where I am meant to be.
But how exciting to all be here together. With who we are meant to be here with. 💚
Come see us!
