Home again, home again, jiggity-jig

We got up early Saturday morning, intending to look at antiques in Conway before we left town.  While cruising their wonderful downtown, we found a Farmer's Market.

There were quite a few vendors and they had been there since 6:30, many of them nearly sold out.  We enjoyed visiting with them.  One veggie stand had ice-cold lemonade that was so refreshing in the morning's heat.  

This is what we bought to take home - that jelly label got a little turned, but it says Moonshine Jelly.  Both breads were from one table and they were wonderful - a wheat loaf and the Very Best Zucchini Bread that I've ever eaten. 

The gal behind the jam table explained that the lady who made the jelly named it for fun. Conway has a festival called Toad Suck Daze and that's where she first sold the Moonshine.  It's very good and I'm not going to tell you if it actually has moonshine in it.  You'll just have to go to Conway next summer and get some yourself.  Check out this link.  The photo they have posted also shows how interesting downtown Conway is.

From Conway we headed to Ft Smith for lunch and antiques.  Belle Starr Antiques was where we stopped to ask about a good place to eat.  It was a wonderful store and the owner, a vivacious young woman, helpful as could be.  We bought several things there.  Once in the car, Mom and I commented that she was the perfect person to own a shop and deal with the public - we were so impressed with her.  

It was time to head home.  We crossed quickly into Oklahoma, stopping one last time in Roland for gasoline, then Mom drove the rest of the way home.  Not bad for an 86-year-old!
