I wonder why for three straight nights now, I kept dreaming of our old house in the province, younger Josef and Nissa, mom and dad. In my dream, my dad was still very much alive. Sometimes, I could not remember the details. Don’t know what it means.
Got this lovely frame from a friend. I like the positive thoughts it brings.
July is rapidly inching its way in. This is supposed to be my month-ender blog but there is nothing much that happened during the month of June except celebrating Jovy’s and Josef’s birthdays. All I did was to fix the garden and read. Yes, I found more books by Carlos Ruiz Zafón who died last June 19, 2020. Zafón’s follow-up, The Angel’s Game , is a prequel to The Shadow of the Wind. His third in the series,The Prisoner of Heaven is the sequel to The Shadow of the Wind. I have them both. I also found other books by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Just finished No One Writes to the Colonel, a novella.
I am delighted to find more authors to follow and more books to read. If there is one positive thing that this COVID-19 brought us, it’s enough time to bond with the family.
Proud to tell you of my new harvest the other day. Jackfruit cooked in coconut cream with small slices of pork or shrimps, the best vegetable in this side of town. I still have three more which are already large enough to ripen maybe in about a month.
Your Jackfruit cooked in coconut cream with small slices of pork or shrimps, Sounds delicious Arlene….

I like the sound of that meal. I have never tasted Jackfruit.
Best wishes, Pete.

Jackfruit grows in tropical countries Pete. Maybe that’s why you don’t have it there.

I have begun Rosamund Pilcher’s “The Shell Seekers” again after reading it many many years ago. It is even better this time. This time I identify with the mother instead of the adult children so it is interesting in a much different way.
