Dad has a booth at the farmer’s market, and it’s quite popular with the young crowd in the area.
There is a school where my dad lives, and the students love the farmer’s market.
When school is in session, they come out in droves to hang out, buy a few supplies, and eat. My dad has a booth where he sells homemade treats. He was a pastry chef for numerous years before he retired to take care of mom. He’d be home baking while caring for her, and sell his treats to the neighbors and their friends. After mom passed away, I encouraged dad to get a booth at the farmer’s market. This would get him out of the house, and give him purpose. At first, he was hesitant, so I made sure to be with him during those afternoons when he set up his booth. Then, slowly he began getting close with the school crowd, and now they flock to his booth. We also do a YouTube channel and this has led to even more success for his pastry business. Last week, I was free from work so I went home to help dad with a big order. He was in the bedroom when I arrived and was dripping with sweat so much. The air conditioner was on, but the home still felt so hot given that the ovens were running. I asked dad about the exhausting a/c in the apartment and he said he wanted to take care of it. However, he was so busy and always seemed to push it to a later date. I knew of a local heating and a/c supplier offering same day repair so I phoned them. They sent someone to the apartment the next day and he told us the unit was too old and it was time for a replacement.
