Baby Grace has her first day on the job at Heiders Country Store.  My children having been helping grandpa for years at the store. I thought we would break Grace in early.

I neglected to take the camera to our wedding on Saturday. This of course, is a real bummer. Lucky for me it also happened to be a wedding that the Washington Post was covering. It looks like we will get to see the wedding pictures after all.
The rest of the weekend was about Lucketts. I went down to Heiders Country Farm Market early yesterday morning to help my dad and daughter Abby get ready for the fair traffic. In all of the years my dad has been there with his store I never have had any time to help. I am always busy running my own life, business and family.
It is amazing to me the work the farmer goes through to get his product ready for sale. I often think I have the most tedious job, but dad wins hands down.  Each morning every single basket of fruit and vegetables has to be sorted through, making certain all is perfect for sale. Once that task is complete you can start to make new baskets of produce. My father spends countless hours in the garden at the age of 72. I think that is remarkable.

Abby, my daughter, baked almost 100 pies this weekend.

After my tiny bit of volunteering, I went home and got the rest of the family. We headed to the Lucketts Fair for the petting zoo, rock wall, ice cream and crafts.

It was nice to have a little family time. This week is the beginning of the major wedding rush. Wait until you see what we have coming up over the next few weeks.
