The Journey

You just never know what's going to happen on this journey.  One day I was at the vegetable market and I saw this mother and daughter working together and the little girl was a cutie, so I asked if I could take their picture.  Of course, I couldn't get it to focus right in the dimness so it turned out fuzzy.  But, I really wanted to print it for them.  I wrote in English, "You make me smile." as a caption.  When I gave it to the mom she just loved it.  She was showing it to everyone. 

 

I had stopped to get vegetables for squash soup, but she just kept giving me vegetables. 

I could hardly carry the bag home.

 

 

She asked me if I wanted one of these.  Hmmm.  I was a little hesitant, but took it.

 

 

 

When I got home I started investigating and I saw these little holes...ah lotus root.

 

 

 

We had some fried at a Japanese restaurant once, so I decided to try that.

 

They didn't turn out perfectly browned.  I had to burn them somewhat.

The squash soup was my cousin Judy Kay's recipe and it turned out great.

David has a blender so it came out so nice and creamy.

 

 

I had picked up some black walnut bread at Franco Papa's to have with it. 

It was all done when David got home from work. 
I felt like the perfect little homemaker.
( I really tried to center this paragraph.  It could not be done.)



 

He's going to miss me when I'm gone.
