    Life This Week

    This week the sun’s been shining.

    Beautiful city with mountains and houses.

    I’ve been holding babies and not doing my hair.

    I’ve been enjoying this new look

    and this one too.

    I’ve been eating sugar

    Three cookies stacked on each other on a white plate.

    and trying tom kha with coconut milk and monggo beans

    Tapioca pearls in a strainer.

    and drinking mochas with tapioca pearls. Weird and wonderful.

    Coffee drink in a cup.

    I’ve been learning from these bright minds

    Young girls reading books.

    and learning about wisdom. Proverbs. She Reads Truth. Check it out.

    I’ve been receiving weird texts on my Nokia

    and checking Pugs of Instagram with my iPhone.

    I’ve been trying to fit in with the locals by wearing long sleeves and long pants

    but taking pictures of food with a fancy camera is a dead giveaway that I’m un-local.

    Restored health, good people, delicious food, and nice sunsets. That’s been life this week.
