Right this way to Market Friday!

It seems I might have lost my way! In case you have lost your way, follow the little bird to #MarketFriday! He knows the way to carry the challenge!


Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle (Denise, that's me!!) Join me as we share our markets across the globe. I always look forward to seeing what you send me! It is amazing to see different markets and cultures of our friends here on Hive.


I have been away for about ten days, attending to family matters. I want to thank everyone who stopped by and left so many very heartfelt messages. I promise to get to them but had to make sure this got up. It warmed my heart to see so many people take the time to seek it out. I cannot even begin to tell you how much that meant to me. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. You are all so wonderful. I love you. I do.

STOP!! BRAIN TEASER AHEAD!!


Question: In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half of the lake?


source


Answer: The tempting answer here is 24, but you're wrong if that's your final answer!

The Answer: The patch would reach half the size of the lake on day 47.

Explanation: With all the talk of doubling and halves, your brain jumps to the conclusion that to solve the problem of when the lily patch covers half the lake, all you have to do is divide the number of days it took to fill the lake (48) in half. It's understandable but wrong.

The problem says that the patch DOUBLES in size every day, which means that on any day, the lily patch was half the size the day before. So if the patch reaches the entire size of the lake on the 48th day, it means the lily pad was half the size of the lake on day 47.

Don't forget to take photos wherever you happen to be shopping - whether it be the grocery store, the local marketplace or even an art gallery. Wherever money is exchanged for a service or for merchandise. Be different if you wish! It does not have to be a traditional market! We will love it! Don't forget to use the hashtag #MarketFriday and @dswigle in you post!


Rules of the Road

Go to the market, or anywhere that you pay money for a service.
Take pictures! Be creative (or not, we don't judge!)
Tell us a little bit about the market, what brought you here?
Post the picture(s)
Use the MarketFriday Community Platform to post
Or drop the link into the MarketFriday post so I can find it
Have fun!

And just like that, this show is over. Come back tomorrow and we will do it again. The market? Oh, yes! Wherever money is exchanged for a service or for merchandise. Be different if you wish! It does not have to be a traditional market! Just remember! #MarketFriday loves you!

Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Because of you, I come back to post again and again. Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people. Some days, it is not as easy to see, how wonderful it really is. Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.


they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?

i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.

later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,

"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

Yes the Puzzler reminds me of the old "give me a penny and double it for 30 days". Its the very last days that it really adds up.

I am going to get a post put back together but wanted to say it is great to see you post again.

Hi, Dan! @bluemoon Thank you and although it feels strange to be back and try to feel normal, it is good to be back and see all of you. Life is cruel sometimes.

Yes, "Life is cruel sometimes", we've all felt that, more or less. It's good to know that it is often beautiful!

Your words are so true. We have all experienced it and thankfully, life is often beautiful. Yes. I can remember there was a day that I had not experienced it so close in my family. And then, it comes.

Thank you so much, Dan @bluemoon That is so wonderful and thoughtful. Thank you so much and thank you for dropping the link!

It is so true. letting go is so very difficult, isn't it? I want to thank you so much for your kindness and all of your thoughts and words. ❤️

I want you to know I just watched a program on House Hunters International on this exact beach. The couple (he was Dutch, she was American) and they brought me all over the place here, including the different places they looked at. I'm totally moving. :))

Thanks for everything. Truly. And thanks for dropping the link along with your words.

I don't need no stinking market. I'm just glad to have you back.

In fact, I'd pay for that privilege so I guess that DOES make it a market.

Just plain good to see you.

Oh, you are so sweet. The honest to God's truth is I didn't even have the computer on, nor the messages from hive or anything. Just my phone. It is never a bother, but, it was so easy to slip into hot having to do anything else for the moment.

I thank you for the thoughts and I hope all is well in your life now. This promises to be one of the best Christmases ever!

Thank you again. ❤️

I ❤️ you too! I am doing okay, you know. Not bad, but, not bubbling with happy either. I feel like I just am, which is silly as it was a while ago he passed and the finality of it was put off.

Le sigh.

You let go of Friday too soon!! I needed more of it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Ohhh... it was not so long ago really, especially not for the heart. I'm sure this made it final... and fresh all over again too.

I didn't mean to let go and I didn't mean to let go of Saturday either and yet, there is only 43 minutes of it left. sigh
