keep breathing yeah and also um there's like a there's a marketing firm that's going to be here I'm just excited I always love to get together and just kits with the other Farmers Market people and uh find out what worked in their areas what could work in our area and then do better for the next season so it's always a good get together right yeah and and people do some really interesting things at their farmers markets too yeah yeah all of them are unique yeah and they've been established for a long long long time yeah so it's great that you know we finally got one here in um here in MCH because we kind of sort of should have had one I know right well it takes a lot as you know a lot of work goes into it and uh unless you're personally invested in it it doesn't stay running unless it means enough to you so Plus getting food in our area is really difficult we don't have a lot of farms um so it's collecting the people to get them invested in in feeding our people so that's that's been a challenge right well we don't have a lot of available land and it's it's yeah it's hard but there are farms over the bridge though right and if we can trade some of that Seafood that we've got in abundance we're making it work so I'm working on it all right this year I'm excited to add Tony Andrews Farm uh to our every single week roster so that's nice yeah uh and he has been planting like crazy he's got some of the best strawberries I've ever had and that's our first crop really in June so I'm very much looking forward to June strawberries from Tony Andrews that's gonna be in abundance when's the market gonna start this year so we start uh Memorial Day weekend that Sunday it's uh May 25th and while the produce is light we will have chicken from D Silva Farm we will have some plant seedlings to start your garden with uh that really is kind of just the the first kickoff excitement I've been meeting with um local artists uh some touring entertainment acts I got contacted Yesterday by a very cool uh member of the samples uh if you'll remember them from Colorado and they were like hey what's up with the farmers market can we pick a date and I'm like you want to play my Farmers Market yes let's do it of course so uh super pumped to bring Al uh 50 Highway to uh Farmers Market this summer August 17th it's going to happen already booked them I'm thrilled so that's going to be a pretty big act and we got to plan around that somehow I think that that's Road Race weekend so I was like all right we'll go big right let's do it go big a go home that's it because by the time they're done running the the uh Falmouth Road Race come on through Mash P come get some RNR relax and listen to some good tunes and chill out on the on the grass right have a have a have refreshment from uh knockabout Brewery yeah and also food we are working I just cut um three new food trucks and some new food businesses so I'm thrilled to just add to the roster of people that are making cool things and sharing them with our town I love it yeah well I think everybody saw last year what happened and the and the potential that wow I can bring my stuff there and hey people show up and and they buy and they're interested and they're generally speaking there were a few minor incidents but most people were very nice and friendly and all that stuff there were one or two times as you know when things got a little Inky but that's life Hank look at what's going on in the world right now I'm gonna start giving them tariffs tariff tariff and by the way way there's no charge to go to the farmers's market no it's free come eat let anybody tell you the spam is getting ridiculous what do you mean I mean the the notices that you're getting I'm getting notice I'm getting I'm getting text messages now from Triple A telling me that my um account hasn't renewed is everybody else like that because I feel like every single one of my accounts the amount of we're going to show your page off we're going to do this we're going to do that we're going to do that has ramped up exponentially it's almost like a worm virus I don't know what it is but it's not it's Relentless my spam box is full it's obnoxious because it's the darnest thing I mean my my memberships with triaa have renewed renewed and renewed they've got my credit card I haven't changed the credit card but as you know folks if you're not careful just just don't assume because it says triaa or whatever to click right there well that's the thing too and when you get busy in your life and you're not really paying attention and you just make a bonehead move like that it could be costly sure I mean and you and and you think oh geez you know what maybe I didn't maybe I didn't pay it and never click the link never click the link no I finally oh I'm I'm a legal beagle again Hank you're legal I have been driving around with a expired inspection sticker like oh no you know that could have been that could have been disastrous you know I was like well it's not even when I yet pulled over it's usually if I was in Boston I think there was some other thing I got a ticket and I was like why did I get this ticket I paid my parking I paid the this no it was my inspection sticker and I forgot about it de so it's done it's fine I'm back I'm I'm a legal beagle again I could drive around safely right and the thing about getting your inspection sticker now is it's good for how can I put this you get your inspection sticker with the date you should have gotten it replaced correct it goes right back that month you're not scheming any months the state of massachusett finally got hi to that little loophole we like we'll wait another month and then we'll ske another month off of it right no no can do no can do no they get you now right and check your registrations too if your if your car registration expires because you can you can get your license suspended even it's a oops gez I I I forgot even if you're a you know outstanding citizen right don't they don't care you could get your license suspended and that would be problematic for a lot of people good morning miss Lynn thanks for joining us on the show Deb happy to have you with us I'm here in Worcester Hank is uh home with hope the weather cat I saw Dolly Parton's husband die yeah the husband people existed yes she was funny she said one of the reasons why she was attracted to him was that when he talked to her he looked in her eyes and didn't look other places as most people oh did she even have those when she was 18 I don't think so I don't know but that but that's what she said so he wasn't he was an eye guy I love the fact that they have their little cute meet cute story where she's 18 he's 21 they met out front of the wishy-washy is what she called it the laundromat yep a long time 60 years of marriage um which leads me to the conversation that I wanted to have scientists are still exploring why women outlive men and it's not just patients failing to consider that they were just a superior species and leave it at that scientists have spent years trying to figure out why women outlive men and apparently that Gap is widening MH they haven't figured out why and they don't know why yet no the longevity Gap is increasing really and experts are trying to solve the mystery wow and the weird part is I feel like we neglect ourselves more put ourselves last and abuse our mental health more than men so yeah yeah but the number of of of of widows who have been widowed for an extended period of time seems to be getting yeah more you know and and a number of of of people who um you know all of a sudden decide that they have found the love of their lives you know when they're 72 but they've been widowed for the last 10 years you know there seems to be more seems to be more of them yeah yeah and it's mostly women good morning Miss Kelly than for joining us yeah and we're loyal as well is that what it is yes we're loyal I've always told Mari I'm going to get a dog that's it I don't want anybody else I'll get a dog oh yeah I don't mean that disrespectfully I just mean no just just get a dog I agree if the when Cliff shuffles off this Mortal coil it's probably gonna be me first however I'm I'm not interested I'm good you've had enough you've had the best why TR the rest exactly don't need to go back there not at all um what else is going on in the world today Hank oh I don't I don't I don't know did you look at any uh crazy crimes Oh Yes actually sandwich did post some crazy crime if you would just give me a moment I will be able to uh to find it for you they had a they had a couple of good ones again um they always do I always feel so bad for them um here we go well I feel like also they do a really good job of writing up the crazy crime to just be matter of fact about what it was I'm sure there was a lot more drama that went into it but the way they explain it it's like oh wow let's see oh boy a caller reported someone had knocked on their door when they were not home the encounter was caught on ring camera the reporting party stated that their security system did not activate because there was no attempted entry officers continued their investigation and eventually spoke to a neighbor who was familiar with the unknown knocker the man was trying to make amends with Neighbors after his wife's vehicle slid on ice and damaged their mailbox oh officers went to that man's home and he reported seeing another damaged mailbox and wanted to offer restitution if his wife had damaged that mailbox as well sounds like Sally needs to get her eyes checked or she needs to go to rehab I don't know what's happening over there could you reading when I was reading I'm thinking all along all right the husband screwed up all the husband did it and no the husband I'll pay for her oh man and and reports of um you know people people out on the ponds although they're starting to melt but there's still you know pieces of pieces of ice and good siiz pieces of ice on some of the ponds and please just don't do it yeah so freaky I know my idiot boys went swimming the other day I'm like seriously swimming swimming yep they they they did their own Polar Plunge apparently mental health idiots hey whatever they they seemed like they really enjoyed it they seemed a little bit more excitable afterwards so I'm like hey maybe the whm Hoff situation does work maybe healthier Bo doesn't include your hus polar punch absolutely not my husband was not out there are you kidding me okay well you never know he does not do cold he'll do heat all day cold ain't happening for him Norine said a good morning Kelly what a good husband he was for paying and did you see this people who live in warmer climates live less oh really yes I I think the statistic was 18 months less see you don't need to be rushing all down to Florida and Arizona to go for your retirement you live no I guess not so I guess Mari really wants me to live longer when she says we're not gonna buy a place in Florida that's it she's not having it nope um apparently our astrological challenges this month are going to be exponential oh really yes if anybody March is here we got a few curve balls apparently we've got a little retrograde situation going on oh no R yeah we got that going on used to say we got Eclipse season will be nothing short of unpredictable so buckle up basically is what it's saying retrograde and eclipses and people are going to be out there being crazy and I feel like we already feel that oh yeah did you see all the planets lined up on Friday night I didn't that was wicked cool you went out there inside yeah we went outside went up with Mariana we took we took binoculars and uh stepped outside and she looked up and she went oh my God that orange thing that's Mars you could see it it was it was orange like like an orange and and we went all the way across and they were all there it was really it was really kind of cool Mari said she just bought a place in Florida and she says yes to Michael and Eva so apparently she's moving on with Mari bought a place in Florida what is that what the love of her life honey I'm not dead yet I love it Kelly said I read that to the advice was no it's their problem not yours I love that advice I think we could all take a little advice yesterday um I had my first situation in in my new big girl job oh really so I had a great meeting with um jarie Stevenson she is part of a committee that works for our town in Mash p and um apparently uh just kind of went and reiterated everything that we had talked about in our meeting but did it to the newspaper and so the newspaper reported it it was kind of like third party it's fine everything I said in it or was quoted as saying in it were were things that I said uh and then they they posted it and you know it's it's one of those it's that Dei conversation that people are really uncomfortable with and it's getting really kind of rather nasty and I said all I said was I'd include a packet I would include a brochure that is going to be in our new kiosk that I'm working on for the mashby Chamber of Commerce to give out our guide books right uh I'm happy to include you you want to be included in something you ask for something you're included right this is just the way I operate you you're a you're a public public figure now so you be careful about who you talk to it's fine nothing in it was bad you know what I mean like it was just one of those things where I just looked and I was like what did Miss Viva say it is the first time that I've ever seen that wow but that's gonna be cool though I yeah my husband's just shaking his head I was I like what but what did Miss via say read it to me again I did say that oh okay I did say that nothing of it's bad uh we've got a couple cou of days left I do want to make mention that we've got our annual meeting coming up and this is going to be an amazing annual meeting because we got a little bit of Comedy we're going to have a red carpet arrival which I'm thrilled for people can roll up we're gonna have our our photographers taking some red carpet photos and then uh we will have a photo booth inside as well uh and we're going to be unveiling something new that we're going to be doing for Restaurant Week it's our first ever Restaurant Week in mashby and that is going to be coming up late April so I find that so hard to believe and when I tell that that Mash P's having a restaurant week for the first time anybody I say it to they go what was all the what that was never no I know it's bizarre so uh if you got a restaurant and mash P or you've got something that you want to add to Restaurant Week please get a hold of me let's talk about it because I'm really excited for this it'll be right after Easter it'll be like that weird space between not spring spring I don't know what the weather is going to be like but I'm excited to see some new menu items some new food things and to drive people out of their homes because we need to get out oh yeah and the day before Easter on the on the on the 19th Mari and I oh Mari Santa plus to real estate we're sponsoring a shredding event over at the uh today real estate office in in Sandwich great right great white shred there you go got it and you can bring all the papers that you need to get rid of because either seven years has passed or your accountant has said you don't need these anymore and get them shredded ripping them up and bringing them to recycling that's not good enough folks it's not good enough no I know I've got two huge bins of stuff to bring to your shredding event I'm excited for it yeah because we're also trying to minimize and reduce the amount of garbage in my home uhuh I feel like I get two rooms done and then two rooms just magic up well be coming home soon yeah Li be home soon and we are entertaining having um one of the Cape Cod Baseball league boys stay with us this summer so instead of the J ones because you're not getting any yeah so um it just kind of was a conversation and my husband's like I don't know I'm like you know what it's kind of perfect because my son's a sophomore and he does kind of have hopes of being a Collegiate athlete and I think that living with one who is truly a Collegiate athlete that might go on to the Major Leagues at least playing very seriously what their what their food regimen is what their workout regimen is how to live like that for a couple of months might just be a good mentorship yeah and L might find a boyfriend oh my God no that is like part of the Clause there's a handbook there's like and there shall be none of this oh really oh yeah they don't mess to be none of yeah they don't mess around with them I mean they're these boys are serious it was it was a funny conversation I had with my husband he's like I don't know if I need one another college boy living under the roof and I'm like they're not messing around this is scholarship dollars this is this is contract with the major league baseball team dollars like the these kids are not here to joke around they're here to work eat and play baseball so only thing is we do have to feed them right oh so between Cody and his buddies and a the I might as well actually feed the base team what's the difference what's the difference that's right that's right we'll be talking about inflation and the cost of cost of produce I well exactly that thank God we run a farmers market right what do you guys need what do you need those any Bush of those wheeling and dealing Mari says Lily will like that y what's up Vanna Vanna pachella is she's got her big birthday party coming up and if you've not grabbed your tickets yet I definitely suggest you do so they're going quickly over at the kuna messet tickets are 100 bucks you can grab a table also and you get food you get the buffet at the kuna messet you get two bands the Z Jack Brothers and then Vana Trio and then of course it's for Tommy's place so there's tons of Raffles and Tommy's Place offers an oasis for families dealing with kids with cancer it really is a wonderful magical building that they have in Falmouth and also in um hyenas that's just yeah sadly they just posted yesterday that they that they lost another one it's awful just a little guy I mean couldn't have been any more than I want to say three proba probably younger cutest little guy that a picture of him and his mom and oh my God it Go isn't it heartbreaking it's just awful it's hard enough to be a kid but then added an illness and these kids are so resilient they are so positive they're just happy for every day that they have and it's it's heart pulling gut wrenching but also beautiful right right I don't want to I don't want to speak out of turn but I think that well I I know part of this is true I don't know how you get to do it but um Tommy's place in between this like two or two and a half hours in between families and they need volunteers they go in and they turn the place over like like a hotel all almost I mean they've got to clean the house from top to bottom they've got to restock and everything I as far as I know they need volunteers for that all the time I had a great get involved in Tommy's place there's a there's a great way to there a great way to do it well yeah a couple of hours flip this place help um the people that do the cleaning actually one of the women that volunteers her cleaning services was actually a recipient of Tommy's place with her son and he's doing really well right now and I got to have a conversation with her and I just like was te like streaming tears and she's like I do this out of love I do this because it's not because I feel like I need need to I want to I want to give that to everybody that is coming into this place yeah I know I know I know last year because it came through my committee the cap and Islands United Way um gave them money to just buy supplies yeah and paper towels and all of that and I don't I don't know if they put in a Grant application this year I was looking for it and I and I and I didn't see it but um yeah just they just need just basic basic things and it it's it's just an incredible Place yeah uh if you can give to Tommy's place even your time definitely look into doing that good morning that's that recipe book right that's that recipe book that's sold yep so uh one of our friends does to Tommy with love she was actually personally friends with Tommy um and if you don't know Tommy definitely look into the lore of the Falmouth Road Race because that's where it all began and I don't know how it's grown exponentially since then but it has and uh Falmouth Road Race has got a new race leader this year uh sign up is about to happen which is crazy for locals this is I know it's only March but it's going to go really fast I feel like January took forever and now we're just flying through so I'm like no slow down wait here we are we're gonna get into the Lenton season what are you giving up Hank oh I don't I don't I don't know yet tomorrow's Ash Wednesday I'm going to go get my ashes like a good little boy there were three times that people you can count on people going to church if they're Catholic Christmas Easter and Ash Wednesday that's it than that it's a crapshoot but the church be churches will be all banged out tomorrow see I'm older so I'm off the hook for a lot of stuff oh yeah yes if you're over if you're over well I'll admit to being over 65 if if you're over 65 some of the rules don't apply it's still one of those weird Catholic that I still do I don't know whether it's my Catholic guilt or whatnot but it's still fish on Fridays it's just that I still do it when it's not lent I know it but you know what though that's a healthy thing though yeah having fish once a week you know so son of started just just like a lot of the um um the Jewish dietary laws that that some people think are crazy like the koser laws and everything that was meant for safety those were health things way back exactly before everybody get weird about it and and you know made it you know something stronger than it than it than it had yeah well I think instead of giving something up I'm just going to add something in I'm going to try and get a little like movement in my life I've not been working out I've been not moving my body and I need to do that more just so I can live a little longer right working on it right sometimes saying that you're just G to be nicer is is is good enough yeah right make a small incremental change that's all yep because the purpose of it is to get you to be a better person so try to be kinder more patient something like thaten good Lauren said just be a good human that's all we ask for right that's right how's Lauren doing in her contest by the way so the contest is over and she did not
