Tom- my – toes (Cherry Tomatoes)

If you know me, you know that I do not turn a loose of money quickly…even when I really want something. But this week I walked in a market and saw a pint of tommytoes, which we called them in Mississippi when I was a girl, but they are now called cherry tomatoes. I spied them immediately…I went to ask the cost : 6,500 shillings and I said to myself, «They HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING… I just can not spend $3.75 for a pint of tommytoes « …..BUT, I looked back at them and said…I have been here a year !!!!!!!!!!! And I bought them. I have savored everyone of them I have eaten….and still have a few. We do get very good small tomatoes here and I buy them every week but I had not seen tommytoes and I just had to consider the encouragement they would be to my spirit. Danny said, « What….why not a candy bar? » I thought, « There is no way to make him understand….and I just went to the kitchen and began to eat !!!!! » And I am going to go get another one right now…..goodnight.
