Thanks to everyone who called and visited Crystal -- I know she really appreciates the Market community pulling together. Hope you're all enjoying your bread and cheese and everything else!
E-mail from Crystal received this afternoon:
You are my Heroes!
If it wasn't for Tia's Lemonade Stand, I would not have been reminded of the saying "When Life Give you Lemons...." (and the ending isn't you get a bottle of Tequila and salt).
When I was stuck with all the leftovers, little did I realize that the community response to take them off my hands and ease the financial burden would be so immediate and great.
A big THANK YOU to all who stopped by on Saturday and Sunday to buy bread, pasta, sauce, cheese, and tortillas. MANY of you had already been to the market on Saturday morning and bravely fought the intense heat.
All that's left is about $50 of cheese (Ricotta and Monacacy Ash -- which I'm selling for $5 each)
So instead of being discouraged, I am encouraged by those who took the extra effort to help. A million thanks.
Crystal
