MISC MARKET NOTES
June – what a month! Kids are finally out of school, parents are engaged helping them have fun while growing, gardens are yielding their bounty, people are getting married – all sorts of happy productive things.
In the kiddo department – more and more research points to the fact that unrestricted creative PLAY is one of the best things for a child’s mental, emotional, psychological and physical development. Most of us adults have memories of long summer days playing outdoors building everything from sand castles to forts, using everything from sand (of course) to pine straw to hay bales. We developed creativity, teamwork and a sense of accomplishment doing these things. My own sons invented “things” for their elaborate games involving paint balls down in our woods. A mishap once, where a stray paintball brought the entire fire department and law enforcement to our place led to one of the best parental teaching opportunities to ever land in our laps. Looking back that paintball was ordained by God to help grow a bunch of boys into fine men.
In the garden department if you preserve any sort of bounty THIS IS YOUR SEASON! More and more people are venturing into canning, freezing, dehydrating, etc. Word has it that one of our M@D family has taken the plunge to invest in a freeze dryer! If food preservation is something you are interested in please know our M@D vendors are a rich resource with many years of knowledge and experience who would be glad to help you. And you don’t have to be afraid of a pressure canner! Some of our customers have given talks on the topic as well so all you have to do is say “HELP” and one of us is sure to have experience with your particular need.
Lastly, the WEDDINGS!. We were thrilled to learn of a customer who recently became engaged. (You know who you are (wink!)) We hope everyone you know taking that plunge will be perfectly matched and blissfully happy for many, many years.
