(Sometimes I FEEL this old when I am hauling our things!)

Our favorite noodle maker on the way to the market. I've actually never eaten there, because I am either rushing to get to the market or loaded down on the way home. But he is very fun to watch and quite personable.

Grandmas and Grandpas almost never want their pictures taken, but they are forever stopping the girls to have their grandchildren say "Hullo!" or pose for a picture.
