Fred wasn't able to work on the tractor this morning so we headed out to Market Days in Goliad...I had a date with a few cupcakes. The High-school seniors were having a bake sale and I knew who was making some cupcakes and she does an awesome job!
It was pouring but still crowded...
Lots of vendors around the courthouse square...
Not sure what they were discussing but I don't think Fred was believing a word Michael was saying, lol...
The historic hanging tree...
Michael and Fred were drooling...
That turkey leg is almost as big as Michael's head, ekk...and he was loving it!
The Goliad Courthouse...
I walked down to the post office to post some letters and did a double take...There was a GMC, Ford, Cadillac, Dodge and Chevy truck all lined up together...Now what are the chances of that happening again just out of the blue? Of course I had to back up and take a photo while chuckling!
Michael had a hard time choose which cupcakes he wanted...He chose the cherry pie cupcake because of the M&M's on it, lol.
And of course he wanted the bugs...
While I chose the prettier ones...the flowers of course!
Aren't they gorgeous!
Love the cupcakes...
Even the bug ones...
And they tasted Mmmm so good too!
Michael sure was doing a lot of ahhing and ohhing while he ate one, lol...delicious!!

We also found a gentleman and his wife selling rocks and minerals (jewelry too)...Michael and I love to collect rocks and minerals and he had some interesting ones and it was really hard choosing too!
Bismuth is found in Peru as a mineral and then taken to a lab where they grow it...This one was grown at a lab in Germany. Bismuth is found in all sorts of things, makeup for one!
A little closer look at the Bismuth.
This caught Michael's eye...this actually comes out of the ground like this, Wow!! I googled it and found it very interesting as there will be clusters of this, one growing out of another one...
This one caught my eye, I love green. This looks almost like green velvet, so pretty!
So far we've had a great day...ate some delicious food/cupcakes and added a few more items to our rock and mineral collection!!

Looks like a rainy day like we are currently having here :) Those big ol' trucks are no where to be seen here - I think it is due to the price of gas and the narrow roads? There are definitely farmers here who could use them though. I'll have to pay more attention to what they drive...
- Also want to say those cupcakes are artwork! And nothing like a yummy cupcake :)
I've seen your narrow roads and know that there is no way they could drive those pick-up trucks over there and yes also with the price of gas it wouldn't happen either. Can't wait to see what you find on your investigation of the farmers vehicles. I'm sure they are smaller trucks and more than likely can only carry a 1/4 of the workload the bigger pick-ups carry, which would mean more trips and more fuel. Thank you regarding the cupcakes, the flower ones were made with marshmellows and very very sweet, almost too sweet!
