I just got back from almost a week in my hometown of Kilgore,Texas.
It had been awhile so I was starting to twitch a little for Jack Ryan’s calamari and a mini #2 hamburger from Charburger and their beans with hush puppies. Trust me, their beans should be on your bucket list! But I will warn you that their sweet tea is SWEET, like SWEEEEEET.
After so many days filled with hanging out with family and friends, driving the back roads and letting life slow down a little, I felt all refreshed a ready to go back to the big city!
I managed to stop by the newish Farmer’s Market in downtown Kilgore on my way out of town. They have the booths set up by the train depot. It was so nice to see all the artisans display their crafts: fresh vegetables, pottery, woodwork, jams and jellies and so much more. .
I had fun taking pictures and meeting so many old and new friends.
I love a farmers market!
They make your day begin on such a positive note. I found the prettiest green tomatoes to make fried green tomatoes later in the week!
And when my friend Melissa and I thought we were done chatting everyone up and buying some things, we went to look at all the tractors that had been set up for a tractor show with live music, snow cones and food trucks!
We couldn’t believe how many different type of tractors were lined up along the street. I even spotted the type of tractor that my grandpa Brennan used on his cotton farm in Talty,Texas.
Such sweet memories.
There’s no place like home.
Stay Sassy Y’all.
