  Veterans Day  2024, Merritt BC

The days are shorter the weeks longer ( feels that way) .

We remember

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy day happy pay, get paid in the value of a better relationship with you and yours after you’ve been thankful for them. They all have something to do with what you are + maybe they were negative but it gave you the opportunity to grow.

One of the best things to be thankful for is that yesterday is gone. It’s in the past and you can move on and be thankful for that.

You are my sunshine

My dinner I sincerely thank you, young turkey.

The best observance…

TGIF- September

Another fall for the blessed earth

Thank goodness it’s Friday. We like to see people get a little bit of a break on a Friday. Going into the Labor Day weekend, we wish you all good luck.

The race is on…

When considering whether the beginning or the end of something is better, it ultimately depends on the specific situation and individual preferences. Here are a few aspects to consider when evaluating the beginning and the finish of a project or experience:

  1. Impact: The beginning sets the foundation and tone, while the finish leaves a lasting impression. Both are crucial in their own ways.
  2. Progression: The beginning often involves excitement and anticipation, while the finish brings a sense of accomplishment and closure.
  3. Quality: It’s important to look out for consistency throughout the entire journey, ensuring that both the beginning and the finish meet the desired standards.
  4. Reflection: Consider how the beginning and finish contribute to the overall experience or outcome, and how they align with your initial expectations.

In conclusion, both the beginning and the finish hold their own significance, and paying attention to each stage can enhance the overall experience or result.

A Sunny day Saturday saw Lucas Handley and about 10 other vendors next to the new BC Hydro quick charger station next to 2202 Voght street in Merritt doing the first weekly Farmers Market. The event starts in the Morning and concludes after lunch time in the early afternoon.

Lucas is thinking of himself as the dominant go to garlic guy this spring. He also was presenting for sale “seed potatoes.” The timelines of many produces are well understood by his group of entrepreneurial fellows. Join them next Saturday for a culture of the rural bite.
