Mayan Mocha Bread

Mayan Mocha Bread.

Chocolatey sweet with a kick of heat.

It's what I found at a visit to the Farmer's Market.

Oh my.

I may or may not have shared my loaf.

It is THAT good!

Ballard Bakery has been baking up some yummy stuff!

Here are some of their options from last week.

Ballard Bakery often shares a table with Lady Hester's Pretzels and More.

Which reminds me...I'm signing off on this post right now...

Because I need to track Lady Hester down and order more homemade corn tortillas!  

You can order yours here.  Tell her how many tortillas you want, and then pick them up at the next Farmer's Market.

I'll see you Downtown!

A Surrey Ride

Finally, I took a surrey ride!

It was really quite fun!

Sure there was the one time I wasn't sure we were going to make it up the hill, but I remembered to change gears and things ended up just fine.

Renting from Dogwood Junction was the perfect way to show my mom, visiting from out-of-town, just how cute our Downtown really is.

Head Downtown for your ride...and then swing by Fratelli's for some gelato...because you'll have earned it.  :-)

I'll see you Downtown!

Girls' Night Out

Last Thursday was Girls' Night Out in Downtown Siloam Springs. 

And if you didn't attend, you MISSED OUT!

I was there for a bit, but there were things I missed out on as well.

So...heads up.  Pay attention to when the next Girls' Night Out takes place and ATTEND!

Here are a few of the things I missed...and thanks to facebook, I know what I missed.

mine.

It's a customized bath and body line made just for you!  mine. was demonstrating their products at Ehrlich Motorwerks.

Siloam Flowers and Gifts had cheese!  I love cheese.  I'm sad I missed the cheese.

And Creative Corner on Broadway had door prizes.  I happen to enjoy winning free things.

Bummer for me!

I'm paying attention to when the next event takes place.

Ending on a happy note...I did take a surrey ride at Dogwood Junction.  Stay tuned for pictures.

I'll see you Downtown!

WellFest

WellFest took place on the second Saturday in June, and was it ever fun!

There were tons of ways for the kiddos (and grown-ups) to get active and have fun.

Hopscotch, slides...

...and golf, just to name a few!

If participants managed to hit all the activities, prizes were awarded.  My two kids were most excited about the medals.

Mark your calendars--WellFest will be back next summer on the 2nd Saturday in June.

I'll see you Downtown!

Pretty Gardens

While on a walk the other day, I couldn't help but notice how pretty the Ralph & Pauline Henry Memorial Garden looks.

The garden can be found tucked in between the library and the low water bridge on University Street.

Be sure to read all about the lilies--pretty interesting!

I'll see you Downtown!
