Friends Visit

Ahhh.. i had forgotten to take a picture of a family of old friends.. who came to town to visit us at the store. What a bummer..!!

They are not from this town.. in Barrington originally .. and then moved to Clarks Harbour now. PB knows them from school.. a long time ago.

It was a nice visit. Wished it was longer.. and wished chloe was here.

Good friends are so hard to come by these days.

Spring..?? NOT!

It was the first day of Spring yesterday.. officially i mean… but it was freaking cold .. the whole day..!!

And it sure doesn’t look any better today.. we are expecting rain.. and still cold .. out there..!!

Spring time it is NOT..!! A disillusion..!!

I think …

The things that Chloe said sometimes.. really amuses me.

She would say.. something like.. “i think i am gonna be sick”

“I think i donch like it”

“I think i want chips now”

Or .. “I think the sun is sleeping”

Never would i imagine.. that having a bowl of instant maggie noodles is such a joy.. and so precious to me. Precious because i can’t get it here in this “ulu” town. And secondly .. to “tompang” someone to get it for me.. cost at least 1.25 cents a packet in an asian grocery store up in Halifax.

Chloe brings so much joy to my life… except the part where.. she doesn’t wanna sleep thru’ the nite.. and wakes up.. a few times.. a nite.. and only lets me sleep at 8am in the morning.. and i have to get up as early as 11am.. to get ready to go to the store.

Overall, she is a bright and good kid.. and i wouldn’t know what i would do without her.

I had wanted to steamed it with minced pork and chinese mushroom.. but guess what no minced pork to be found for 2 days.. bummer..! so i made it plained.. with loads of shallot in it..!

Chloe loves it…. and i finished most of it. And yes.. the egg tofu was brought back by Gerald from the city.
