I went to the Winter Park farmer's market around 11:00 am. It was great! I hadn't been there in years, so I didn't really know what to expect. There were about 50 booths set up with people selling mostly plants and flowers, but also vegetables and food. I went to one of the vegetable stands first and got everything I would need to make some soup. After purchasing the vegies, I remembered that we were almost out of coffee. I spotted a man selling coffee so I went over to take a look. He had about 15 types packed in gallon plastic bins at the front of his booth. I told him what type of coffee I like and asked him for a recommendation. He told me that all of the coffee was roasted last night (I had never had coffee that fresh) and chose his favorite. It smelled great. I bought a pound. Next I stopped bye a small booth on the far edge of the market where a woman was selling fresh jam. Mmm, I love jam. I picked up some Strawberry and moved right along. Next stop was a man selling fresh herb plants. The basil in our garden has not been doing well, so decided to replace them with some mint (great for tea!). He sold me two plants for three dollars. On my way out, I spotted a woman giving out samples of olive dip on crackers. I tried some and was amazed as it melted in my mouth (so good!). Needless to say, I bought a small jar of the dip and have since finished it (yeah, it didn't even last 24 hours).
I wouldn't have even gone to the market if it weren't for my 12:00 appointment. The meeting was at the client's Winter Park mansion. I have been in some big houses since starting this DVD business, but this was the most extravagant. It was situated on a lake; between the house and the lake was a swimming pool, which overflowed to create a small waterfall. The ceilings were about 18 feet high and the house was decorated with artifacts from the couple's many world travels. Their collection of film, videotape, and photos of family members was the largest I have ever seen. Our job is to consolidate everything into a small collection of DVDs. The job is daunting and will surely span many months. However, both myself and my wallet look forward to getting started.
