Join the Parade! It's Market Friday!


MarketFriday is about going places and doing things, sometimes it is buying food, and other times we may buy merchandise. For me, the entire thing is all about the experience, the cultures, and traveling the globe in the space of this post. It will be the fastest trip you ever almost took! I have been educated in so many ways, unfamiliar with some of your customs and cultures. The more posts I read about culture unlike mine, All the things that go along with it, It is always so very fascinating. I never knew how little I really knew about the world so I thank all of you who have enlightened me.


We visited the Raices Fountain in Old San Juan.There are so many incredible place you show me. Incredible, not because they are amazing, but, because it is part of your life and sharing your culture is something I always look forward to.

I had some unexpected surgery that has me unable to do a real post this week, and while I am fine, the swelling, bruising, and healing have slowed me just a bit. I'll be good soon. Quite miserable until then! Expectt that I should be able to do them this week~ :) Sorry to have to miss doing it last week.

I truly appreciate all of the sharing of experiences and even more, when people visit others, starting a dialogue. This is what the vision of #MarketFriday was. The understanding for all.


Mascots of Market Friday.jpg


Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle (Denise, that's me!!) Join me as we share our markets across the globe. I always look forward to seeing what you send me! It is amazing to see the different markets and cultures of our friends here on Hive.


A #MarketFriday Parade! The mascots of Market Friday. I love them and yes, they make me smile. This was done on the spur of the moment in the middle of the night when I needed the #MarketFriday logo... I got stuck at work and had no way to put it together before the next day! All the key pieces were on my home computer. Let's see. Who will be up in the middle of the night? Someone who could make me a logo with a picture? I have always been grateful What an awesome friend, n'est pas?

So many experiences and the best part is to write them out for you, reliving the moments! Is it the same for you? I hope so, because I feel like I am sharing those moments that you write about. The best part is to have them locked up here on the blockchain, for me to read back someday when I am old and gray. Maybe sooner.


Arlington Cemetery.jpg


I bring you back time and again to Arlington Cemetery, it is one of my favorite places to go, to seek peace, solace or to just enjoy a beautiful day. I have people buried there, so perhaps it feels special because of that? Probably not, I have always loved it. I like the changing of the guard ceremony, a very stirring event.


Ferris Wheel.jpg


Yes!! We can have fun too! Who doesn't love a great Ferris Wheel? I'm raising my hand! I love them. I am getting ready for the Chicoteague Pony swim, if I am all healed and the black and blue are gone. It is just unsightly right now.
:)

For those os you patient enough to read most of this, I actually am not typing this, I am tag teaming with my daughter who is posting it for me as I dictate to her. She is quite the champ. Always stepping in when I need her. So thank you so much for visiting and if you don't post this week, no worries. We always have next week and then next after than! ❤️

Downtown San Juan, Puerto Rico! The cobblestones are so much of a valuable antique now, they are replacing them with fakes so they aren't stolen... And just like that, this post is done. I hope you had a good time and learned a little something new. As always, I want to thank you for taking the time to visit, and just remember, #MarketFriday loves you! Thank you for supporting the challenge! Have a most fabulous day! Cheers!!

On the road to being healthy again, it takes a wee bit longer the older we are. Rest up, keep blogging the black and blue swelling will be a thing of the past soon.

Lovely share, interesting the are removing the cobblestones and replacing with fakes to preserve them, always nice to see the cobbles, not so pleasant to walk on especially when wet.

Thank you so much. Being on the road does take longer than I expected, but, healing is in layers, so in time. So many well wishes so touched me. It is so much appreciated! ❤️ I just peeked on the computer after a whole week of leaving it to rest, I am sending some cyber hugs your way.

The cobblestones.. that was odd to me too!

Wonderful adventure!

Doesn’t matter that it is retrospective as the magic of the blockchain helps us go back in time.

I am headed off on a Mediterranean adventure next week and hope to have some good exotic marketfeidays to share soon!

Get better soon and enjoy the downtime.

Oh no Denise 😳 I hope you are ok…
That’s never fun, especially when it is unexpected. Take care sweetie 🤗🤗😊 sending lots of healing energy your way, and that it may heal quickly.
Try to rest… it helps too. I hope you can.

Lovely captures of your memories, I like it too when I relive it while writing the post and share my photos. Just like you.

Today I show a B&B we visited in Worcester MA… almost a year ago. Can’t believe it’s almost a year that we were in the US exploring our location. And boy… so much happened and changed.

Take care @dswigle, thinking of you.

My post today: ”Let’s stay in a Historic Colonial B&B in Worcester, Massachusetts USA” 🇺🇸 ~ MarketFriday

Big !HUG 🤗🥰🌺 and much love

It has been so kind of you and others to leave me well wishes, So many well wishes so touched me. It is so much appreciated! ❤️ I just peeked on the computer after a whole week of leaving it to rest, I am sending some cyber hugs your way.

Thank you, Jackie

Hope your surgery went well and you're recovering quickly. Sorry to hear that it's been slowing you down, but I'm glad you're feeling optimistic about getting back to MarketFriday soon.

Oh, I love your daughter now, she's so sweet to be supportive of her mother. I don't want to ask about your surgery but all I wish is for your fast recovery and yeah, you can ride on that Ferris wheel.

Cemetery? Maybe because it's painful and at the same time we are releasing the negative energy through sharing it with our loved ones even so just one-sided words because they can't reply. Here's mine by the way,

-Hi Ma'am @dswigle! I hope you be fine and well soon! Yes, it's a true cemetery or memorial place seems a sad topic but for me, it's a source of happiness after my father passed away, many challenges we all encounter in all aspects of life but still it's the place where the physical bodies of our loved ones rested. And this is also my participation in the #MarketFiday. Thank you for the wonderful views and places that you shared with us! Have a blessed day!🙏
