Jumbled Story (In Order)
This morning, I drove to the Farmer’s Market.
I tried to get there early, because the best produce sells fast.
Unfortunately, my alarm clock didn’t go off and I overslept.
When I got to the market, the parking lot was full. I had to park across the street and walk for several minutes.
Luckily the farmer who sells the best tomatoes still had some.
Also, I was able to buy some organic beef, but all of the asparagus and green onions were sold out.
On my way back to my car, I tripped and some of my tomatoes got damaged.
All in all, it was a very stressful shopping day.
