As we express our gratitude, we must never forget
that the highest appreciation is not to utter words,
but to live by them.
Today is #MarketFriday initiated by 
People are nice, but I find that generally, people ARE nice. I was obviously not from there, my obvious sunburn put me off their map. It is deep fall and it was definitely short weather. I forget they are very south and on the Atlantic coast. I got the facts about Charleston and I get them every time I darken the door to the city. Which is fine. I like brushing up on the facts. It is a fun little place to take a day or three and introduce yourself, or reintroduce yourself, whichever the case may be. A few hard and fast facts:
Charleston had the first public college, museum, and playhouse in the U.S.
The first golf club in America was established in Charleston in 1787.
North America’s longest cable-stayed bridge, the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, spans the Charleston Harbor, connecting historic Charleston and Mount Pleasant.
Dr. Alexander Garden, a Charleston physician, first imported “Cape Jasmine” from South Africa in 1754. The flower was renamed “Gardenia” - after Dr. Garden, of course.

Flowers.There must always be flowers to color my world. This picture is dedicated to all of you, my beautiful friends. I put out flowers early tonight as I almost forgot the other day!
Byrd's is an institution. They have giant jars of cookie samples. They will feed you all day long if you want. Step right up and get your sample. I am sure that you will be buying this delectable pop-in-your-mouth- sized cookies. You won't leave here without them. They are quite addictive. I am always surprised that I buy several prepackaged cookies and none ever make it home. This time, they did. One bag, but, better than normal. Have you ever been to a bakery that you love?
The cookies are tiny but, don't judge a book by its cover, they taste great! You need to check out the lemon or key lime in their citrus selection, they are really different! Samples are always offered and since the pandemic, they have had someone dispensing the samples, and they are always patient and will offer you, everyone, they have.
I actually brought home salted caramel cookies, but, I also got a box (see picture above) and filled it with scotch oatmeal, chocolate chip, key lime, and praline. I probably put different ones in there also, but I don't remember which. They carry gluten-free too.
The prices are a little steep for cookies, but, they do make a great gift and for goodness' sake, I cannot stop eating them. You can purchase them for (4) 8oz bags of cookies for $25.00 I sampled some Toasted Pumpkin Cookies. The free samples make it so much easier to select the ones you want Thank you so much for stopping by and reading through #MarketFriday!.
