Friendly strangers

:-) Seriously, I need help. I have one follower on my blog and the last time they were on my blog was like a year or 2 ago! I am that boring huh? Could dedicate Akon's "Lonely" to myself!

Well, yesterday I went out for my monthly shopping and after dropping my husband off I decided to get a quick breakfast. I am walking down the aisle and a gentleman greets me in my native language! Imagine my shock! I am thousands of miles away in a strange land where people speak something else and I am greeted in my language!

Well, if you know me, then you know I didnt greet him. I looked straight on to where I was going. Truth be told, I thought I missed home so much that I heard my native tongue! I happened to stand behind him in the queue to pay and he asked me if something was wrong, still in my native language. I had to laugh as I explained that I thought I was hallucinating! We talked and laughed for a bit as we waited to pay after which I went my own way.

It lit my day, that was just a God sent!!! To be able to speak my language and for a second forget that I am far away from the land of my parents. That reminds me, I need to go write a recipe for my mother, before she calls to remind me again!
