food memory ...





it all began with a simple chat about a Mexican restaurant
somewhere on the highway to somewhere
we both knew it from different times in our different lives
it was a stormy Saturday as we zoomed over the pass in our trusty bug
yum time was just a short drive away
we took the odd exit for Zillah
the restaurant had closed
it was "FOR SALE"
alas, food memory shall remain just that
we stopped in Toppenish
to walk
to view the great murals
snap snap snap
then,
we drove the back roads
to purchase great bounty
we chatted
we munched
we enjoyed
perhaps it's just as well the food memory is just that
one can dine out often on memories

Ain't Autumn Awesome! I like the murals and the long, long stretch of squash from your nose all the way to the horizon.

The market lighting was tough but I like the feel of photo. The hand-lettered signs and boxes make it timeless.

And your text makes us want to accompany you there!
