Today I went to the Farmer’s Market on Broadway. It was by chance actually; got off the bus heading nowhere in particular, saw a sign and wandered around until I found it. Think cloudless sky, fruits, vegetables, flowers, and lots of puppies. (No, really.) After purchasing some flowers and a berry-looking bun, I sat near two guys on guitar and bagpipes for quite some time, just listening to their music.

As I sat there I spotted a little boy sitting amongst the buckets of flowers his parents were selling. As soon as they weren’t looking, he’d grab a flower, ferociously rip off the petals and then toss them up in the air, craning his neck back so his face looked skyward as the petals fluttered down onto his smiling face.

I just got off the phone with my Shixiong. I called to congratulate him in hearing the news that he would be attending an accupuncture school up here in Seattle. Already just proud that he got in, I found out that he moved from Bremerton to Seattle a couple of days ago. In fact, only a mile or two away from me even! Ha, wow I am still taken aback. And well, happy. Sometimes I feel like back home people always talk about the things they’re going to do one day, but then it only amounts to talk. Not that I thought this necessarily would, but it’s funny how after a year, the exact thing he was talking about is a reality. I’m happy for him, hopefully we’ll get to kick it sometime next week.
