Kuching! Sweet Sweet Mart
Does Sweet Factory still exist? I always felt like the luckiest kid when my parents would let me fill a plastic bag with shark gummies, jaw breakers, and Jelly Bellies. I was so excited to discover, on the very bottom level of a mall in Malaysia, this Sweet Factory-ish store called Sweet Sweet Mart.
Not only did they have a wide selection of wrapped candy, they also had dried fruit,
nuts and chips,
and wafers and cookies.
Hong had a difficult time choosing.
Mmmmm such a fun reminder of childhood!

Small Reminders of Home- Sunflowers
My students are always munching on sunflower seeds, so I guess I should have assumed there were sunflowers SOMEWHERE in Southeast Asia. However, I was still surprised to see this friendly little row greeting me as I drove home from work yesterday.
They mostly remind me of my sister, and also of summers at my grandparents house climbing hay bales, wooing frightened kittens and scratching unfortunately placed chigger bites.

Small Reminders of Home- Blueberries for Sal
This segment of the blog is dedicated to the small surprises that are lovingly placed in my day, reminding me of home.
At the beginning of this week, a strange backpack appeared in my classroom. It did not belong to any of my students, so I put it on top of a bookshelf, assuming that the owner would come looking for it. A few days later, it was still there, so I decided to look through it to find out who it belonged to.
There were only three things inside: A notebook, a pencil, and one of my favorite children's books of all time. Honestly, I got a little teary when I saw it (and I'm getting a little teary now remembering it!).
A ripe mango made this nostalgia quite delicious.
How delightful that the Creator of the Universe hid this for me to find!

I absolutely love well-written, beautifully illustrated children's books, and this is one of the best!
