The Oddest Thing

I was sitting at lunch today, and it was a little too surreal. Could I actually be sitting in a restaurant in BEDROCK and yet be eating at a PIZZA HUT????? It was just too much for me to take in. Yes, today is the first day of Pizza Hut being open in Bedrock. To most of you, this is no big deal, but you have no idea how huge this is. When I first set foot in Bedrock eleven years ago, I felt as if I had stepped back in time about 300 years or so (except for the occasional car). Now in just a few years, we've gone from the Flintstones to the Jetsons. I remember thinking in 1998 that if all went well, by 2050 Bedrock would have a grocery store. Now it already has grocery stores, KFC's, McDonalds, and Pizza Hut. Donkey-pulled carts have been replaced by rich people driving BMW's. (Don't get me wrong, there are still poor people, but you cannot begin to imagine the changes this place has seen in the last eleven years. No place I have ever been has changed so quickly.) So today when I sat in Pizza Hut, it was just the oddest feeling. Everything has changed.

I was sick twice in October for a total of 3 weeks. That's why there were no more blog postings.

I'll try to post some pictures of things other than my dog in the future, but I think she is just SO CUTE that I like to show her off. The weather has turned really cold here, so I put a sweater on her when we go for walks. The children in my neighborhood just think this is the cutest thing they ever saw, and shriek (in their language), "Mom, look at the doggy wearing clothes!"
