minty mondays.

We are staying with Johnny's Grandparents again. They have such a lovely place. It's very secluded. The back porch swing is my favorite in the early mornings and late evenings.
Johnny planted sweet taters yesterday and darn it there is something sneaky in that garden that likes to eat everything we plant. He is going to try and come up with something that will keep whatever it is away from those precious vines. It's not a bug, it's an animal of some kind. My papa gave us his roosters the other day and we let them roam. They are our garden guardians. They killed a rat the other day.
I am going to try and find an Asian market today. I want to try making Massaman curry. It's a favorite dish of mine at a local Thai place. It calls for shrimp paste which doesn't sound too appealing.
I am going to have a lunch date with my sister today. I don't spend enough with her. She is such a special girl and I'm proud to call her my sister.

what a character..

I just ate a delicious mango. Reminds me of China. I don't think many people read this, but if you are I hope that you have a beautiful day and drink lot's of water cause it's hot out there...
