small joys.

A couple things to celebrate today:

A package!  We got a package from the Spurlocks in the mail today, filled with my favorite puzzle (of Cinderella’s castle), a few packs of Rook (Stephen’s favorite game), TWO boxes of Thin Mints (!), Ziploc bags, and an Arkansas magnet for our fridge!

Also, please note my sweater and jeans–in March!  It was very chilly today, and we enjoyed it.  Around lunch time we were joking about not having a fireplace and maybe I’d have to bake something so we could curl up by the oven. Granted, we’re kind of turning into pansies here, and it was probably around 70 degrees with a breezy wind. But considering its typically well above 100 every day in April, we’re loving this.

And last, we found a new market today!  It’s really just an extension of the market we usually buy our veggies in, but it’s far enough back that it’s much cheaper. Look what we found:

That’s one pumpkin, one gourd, three ears of corn, six small tomatoes, one head of cabbage, and a whole lot of green beans. And can you guess how much all this was?  59 baht, or just $1.94!  That’s about half price of the other market, and I loved it.

Other than these small joys, it’s been a rough day and very rough start to the week. We’d love your prayers this week 🙂
