Caught Red Lipped!

I actually borrowed the title of this post from another one of Timmothy's cartoon strips about Titus and Philemon eating strawberries but I am going to use this one to give a plug to the Minot Farmers Market in Oak Park. Our Farmers Market only opened July 6th and will most likely close in October this year.

You can click on the picture below to open a new window into the Farmers Market website.

How can I possibly tie a cartoon about red lips to Real Estate. Well, if you are looking at homes and the basement is very dark but you can make out a coffin... get out!

I’m reading this post while my husband is still asleep. I almost woke him up with my laughter at your ending to this post!

Our Farmers Market also includes arts/crafts/furniture/etc. Does yours?

And haha to the end of this!

I think it is funny when kids have something all over their face but when asked if they ate something that would do that, they deny it completely, haha.

Good morning Bob. You have a humorous take on the need to "get out"! Then again I can't disagree. Enjoy your day.

I am very happy to get a good laugh out of you Lise Howe 😊. I was hoping to make those reading it at least smile this morning.

Yes they do include arts & crafts and often flowers/house plants as well Kat Palmiotti but I have not seen furniture. Just curious, is it hand crafted furniture made by farm families during the winter months?

As far as the end of the post, maybe I've watched to many episodes of Svengoolie.

Bob "RealMan" Timm - Actually my husband and I have a booth at the Farmer's Market. We sell hand crafted live-edge wooden tables with epoxy rivers, engravings, etc. We'll be adding wooden utensils and other products shortly!

The Family Circus cartoon is good at parodying that thought Brian England . In our house Timmothy is most likely the culprit for missing deserts.

I have always loved bake goods as well Nina Hollander, Broker . For me it goes back to the days my grandmother lived with us and she was always baking. Regretfully all her recipes were in her head and she never shared them.

Bob "RealMan" Timm hi Bob... that croissant looked like the fresh croissants I would buy each morning in Paris. What most Americans think is a croissant isn't that all.

Wayne Martin although I never did come across a coffin in a basement I assure you I would exit promptly if I did (dimly lit or daylight bright).

Timmothy's daily creativity amazes me Dorie Dillard Austin TX . I feel so blessed to be his father. I like going to the farmers market this time of year and later when there is a lot of crops involved as opposed to it being a craft show (that being said I do enjoy the crafts as well).

Thank you for the cautionary tale.  I think I will just stay out of dark basements...PERIOD!  🤣

Not bad advise Ray Henson but as Realtors we do need to go down there to identify potential problems or plus's for our Buyers and Sellers. Either way a coffin is a negative.

Bob "RealMan" Timm, I used to accompany my mentor to homes when she was getting ready to list them.  One particularly scary one was in a sketchy neighborhood, the backdoor was kicked in and the electricity was turned off.  Plus, it looked like a hoarder had lived there.  It was twilight and I went through the house with a flashlight.  In retrospect, I should never have done it. It was a baptism by fire into the real estate profession.

You were lucky not to have entered into a meth haven Ray Henson . If I had walked into a situation like that I would have most likely let the police check it out.

Hello Bob and I wish we have more markets like this in the Denver area.  I guess I just do not know of many like the old days.

We have two farmers markets here in Minot North Dakota Will Hamm . I like this one best because of the setting in the park. The other one is downtown in a big parking lot. Both get a lot of business.

We have been going through a lot of strawberries here as well Kathy Streib but we have not seen any peaches yet.
