Mom’s date to the White Market.  (Maddie’s 6th grade class will leave Sunday night at 9 pm to catch their midnight train).  This weekend a group of us moms met at the White Market to eat what some would call “street” food.  This type of meal is very cheap and some would say unhealthy to eat because the lack of sanitation.  But after living here for two years, we’re sort of used to eating all sorts of things.

The restaurant where we chose to eat is Muslim Chinese.  They serve roasted chicken, lamb and beef on a kabob…cooked right out in the open on an outdoor grilling trough.  They also served us fried rice and a yummy noodle dish with shredded cucumbers, carrots, and a tasty sauce.

So far I’m staying busy while everyone is away.  I was very worried a few weeks ago that I would not handle being alone very well.  I’m thankful that HE is sustaining me with His grace.

Here’s Maddie and some 5th and 6th grade friends

Maddie and her friend, Josie, get a new suitcase for their trip.
