Market Friday visits on Thursday!
How to Participate:
1. Go to the market! Any market will do! Food, Clothing, Plant or Animal, if you wish. You can go to the zoo or an art auction. Anywhere or anything that you pay money for a service. I once went to a nail salon.
2. Take pictures! Be creative (or not)
3. Tell us a little bit about the market, what brought you here?
4. Post the picture(s)
5. Don’t forget to hashtag it! #MarketFriday by @dswigle
6. Drop the link to your post here so I can easily find them
Please leave the link to your post on here so it can easily be found by others. They will all be in one place!! Thank you! ❤
CUE THE MUSIC MAESTRO!
STOP!! BRAIN TEASER AHEAD!!
Answer! Can you guess??? The logic of finding the fastest horse is straightforward. First, the 25 horses are split into 5 groups. Any horse that loses a race cannot be the fastest overall. This eliminates 20 horses that finished in 2nd to 5th place.
Now the 5 winners race against each other. The horse that wins this race is faster than the other winners, and the other winners are faster than the other horses in their group. The fastest of the winners is, therefore, the fastest horse overall.
And just like that, this post is done. I hope you had a good time! As always, I want to thank you for taking the time to visit #MarketFriday!! Thank you for supporting the challenge! Have a most fabulous day! Cheers!!
Let the sun shine in on your life
So the joy may touch your soul
I will resume my regularly scheduled programming tomorrow sometime! I look forward to seeing your #MarketFriday posts and will check them out! Be different if you wish! It does not have to be a traditional market! I will love it! I promise you! Don't forget to use the hashtag #MarketFriday and @dswigle.

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

I'm not sure that the answer to the brainteaser is quite right? That method identifies the fastest horse... but not necessarily the 2nd and 3rd fastest... at least as I understand the question and the answer...
... now I need to think about it a bit more... but at first blush, I don't think it does...
Well, that was my fault! I only wanted to include the fastest as I thought adding the second and third would make it too difficult for everyone and I miswrote it.
Apologies!!
And you are the only one who brought it up!!! Thank you and thank you for visiting #MarketFriday!
#MarketFriday loves you!

Oh good! I was looking at it for a while and thinking that I didn't get it! Anyway, I'm pretty curious how you would find second and third without having to do the whole procedure again.
My initial thoughts are to race the winners again... Minus the 1st place one, which is replaced by the second place from that group of five.

There's just nothing like home made ice cream. My mom would make a base and my brother and I would churn what seemed like forever. I was really happy when my folks got an electric motor churn (dual purpose. The motor could be used to churn butter, too. Happy day.)
Looking forward to more from the island!
Haha! I will bet that you did a secret happy dance when an electric motor was injected into the mix there. We had a relative in Pennsylvania who was Mennonite, although had no electric (strange now that I think about that)and they had a churn and all of us kids would fuss over who got to do it next! LOL
Oh, the island is coming on down tomorrow! It will be a #BeautifulSunday, of course! Thank you, Tom, for stopping by an for leaving your always interesting comments behind! I look forward to them. Have a great weekend!
#MarketFriday loves you!

Randy and I would churn without much bellyachin' because the rewards were just amazingly high.
Every Saturday Mom would tell us how much cream/butter she needed and we'd get to work on it because she'd start baking. Fresh butter on fresh bread is pretty darn special. And the Ice Cream was even better.
And there was cash involved. We got to sell the excess cream. Every other Sunday we'd drop a cream can off at the railroad depot (on the way to church, don't you know) and by that Friday there'd be a check in the mail.
The Mennonites where I grew up were mechanized. They worked together a lot but weren't communal at all. There's a pair of brothers I knew pretty well that once owned the Flying W Rodeo stock. That's a whole 'nother story.

Oh have no doubt we are doing it different. We are proper going to push the limits of MF, I am sure!
Oh that is weird, America came on a playlist as I was driving home from the fair. It was Tin Man though and not Horse With No Name.
Oh dont hurry home on our account. Stay and play, we will take care of MF.
Hehe! I love when we push the limits of #MarketFriday! It makes for an interesting post! That is strange, you know, the America thing and all. Oh, yes, the Tin Man. Well, you know that we didn't name Henry for a while so he was called the Horse with no name. LOL
Don't hurry home! LOL
You are not my boss, but yes!! I would love to stay and play! LOL Thanks for taking care of things!

Love the sunglasses and led necklace, your looking slightly more furry then I remember though - could be my eyesight failing in old age though.

Come on now! Yes! Yes! Things have gotten a little more hairy of late! But tell me that I didn't capture your eye just a little bit!? I am sure that it's your eyesight because God knows that I am totally adorable with my sunglasses and led necklace! LOL
Of course, you know I would love for you to do a market Friday anytime that it is doable? I struggle with keeping up with the challenges and I feel because there are so many and there's so many good friends! And so little time! Thank you so much for the tokens! You are the best!
