Boobies on my Plate!

Well, lets see how many hits I get with that title!! LOL
Sunday, we cruised up to the Ithaca Farmers Market.  I had not been in over a year.  It was jammed with vendors, and not much like a Farmers Market at all.  More like an outside mall.  I didn’t mind though .  I just wanted [...]
