 I am feeling unusually good today as you can tell by my rantings. :)
I was outside this morning looking around the yard as my street is being resurfaced. One of the works came up to me and ask me about one of my trees. He said that one in the middle look familiar to him (in his very broken English)
I told him that was a jujube tree. I saw his face light up and told me that he had one in his home country of Laos. He was looking to plant something form home. I was so taken back that someone recognized anything that i had in my yard, I gave him one I had in a pot in the back yard. He offered me some money, but refused. He was so happy! We went back to the asphalt truck with big grin on his face. I really wanted to sit down a talk with him about what he remembered of Laos and what else he grew, but he was on the clock and it was hard enough for us to understand each other already, I somehow feel even more happy now. I hope I see him again one day with hand full of fruit, though that may be wishing to much.

Robert
