Granny's gone and done it again

For some reason I don't like muskmelon and cottage cheese together. I don't know why because muskmelon is in the top five of my favorite fruits.

Cantaloupe is better that way. Yum!

For supper I had cream cheese spread pretty thick on a piece of bread and a hearty bowl of bean stew.

Oh, and a hearty helping of raw macadamia nuts.

I eat them myself.

How do you prepare yours?

 

[BigBlueHen53]

I really like it. I salt and pepper it, eat it from a bowl..sometimes from the carton. Others in the house won't eat it so I can do that.

I like it too, in many different ways.

I just read this on FB. Important part at the bottom.


READ THIS INTERESTING SHORT STORY
At 40, Franz Kafka, who never married and had no children, was walking through a park one day in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully.

Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her.

The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter "written" by the doll saying "please don't cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures."

Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka's life.

During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable.

Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned to Berlin.

"It doesn't look like my doll at all," said the girl.

Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: "my travels have changed me." The little girl hugged the new doll and brought the doll with her to her happy home.

A year later Kafka died.

Many years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written:

"Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way."

Embrace change. It's inevitable for growth. Together we can shift pain into wonder and love, but it is up to us to consciously and intentionally create that connection”

The compassion, creativity, dedication and kindness of this man is ... remarkable... inspiring... breathtaking! Thank you for sharing, h2o. What a heartwarming story.
