I will never buy blackberries from anyone else again

[annathepiper]

As y’all know I have repeatedly lauded the awesomeosity* of my Pike Place marketboys. As of last night and this morning, though, they have gone above and beyond the call of all awesomeness.

On my way home last night I sorta kinda wigged at one of ‘em about my cousin Phillip and what’s going on with him. He made very sympathetic noises at me, especially when I got to the part about “and I’m kinda wigging about this because I’ve gone a couple rounds with cancer myself and why yes this is actually why I buy so much fruit from you guys: adjusting my diet to Cope”. Two of the other boys overheard me though on the tail end of that wigging.

And when I showed up this morning, I was greeted with a surprise hug, a surprise extra pear, sympathetic conversation from no fewer than four of ‘em, and assurance that I’m not just a girl they sell fruit to, I’m a friend.

These are my marketboys, and I don’t think I’ll buy blackberries from anybody else in Seattle ever again. And I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again with extra emphasis today: if you’re local to Seattle, look for them. The Frank’s boys at Pike Place Market. Buy tasty things from them and tell them Angela sent you, because she says they’re awesome.

* This is totally a word. That, in my capacity as a professional writer, I just made up. Do not try this at home!

Awwwwwwwwww!

They call you Angela instead of Anna, huh? ;) What's up with that? :)

[annathepiper]

They call me Angela because that's the name on my work badge and on the debit card I pay for tasty!fruit with! I've mentioned a time or two that my friends call me Anna, and I expect I'll have to mention that again now. ;)

On the other hand, I'm charmed when they call me 'Angie' or 'Ang'; it makes 'em sound like I have five extra brothers.

Oh honey, that's so sweet.

(Yeah, extra brothers that you think are hot, uh huh, no problem there, MAYBE THEY ARE LIKE STEP BROTHERS OR SOMETHING YOU MET LATER IN LIFE AND NEVER ACTUALLY LIVED WITH OR ANYTHING).

:)

Hee hee hee um yeah. *^_^*;; Alternate Universe Anna's Brothers! (Fortunately I am not Alternate Universe Anna!)

That is awesomeosity indeed! How wonderful to know that people can be so caring and to think about you when you are not there. :)

[annathepiper]

Yeah. :) I was very happy to make a specific point of buying extra fruit from them this morning, just for how nice they were to me.

If the 9th Walker Papers wasn't going to be so overloaded with characters already I'd give 'em a cameo. :)

[annathepiper]

Awwwww! :)

Though I'm WAY AHEAD OF YOU on that. If I can sell Queen of Souls, they are TOTALLY showing up in there. There was even already a scene set in Pike Place, which will require minimal tweaking to give them some cameo goodness. :D
