These Turkish promenade-placed shrubs are like a cross between egg-dyed romaine lettuce heads and those trendy crocheted broches found at Urban Outfitters . . . .

From the Esisehir-to-Afyon bus. As a farmers daughter, I’ve been there before.

I’ve been looking for an antique-white, cherry-themed serving plate. Um, no. But if I was, I could find one in Turkey. The grocery stores here have just as many wicker cd racks, painted teapots and Elv?s twizzler sets as any Safeway. Ack. More stuff.

After much mourning I had accepted the fact that we would be traveling when the next season of Lost came out . . . .but can I help it if Sawyer is following me around the world?
