Japanese soup

My dear Friends
Who would expect to find Japanese soup, and delicious at that, in the middle of the Badlands? But tucked away across the street from the public library is a charming coffee shop/restaurant with the quintessentially Canadian name of Molly Brown's Caffe.

Discreet tables and wonderful music lead you to the counter where a smiling Japanese lady takes your order with the greatest respect. Alicia has been running this cafe for several years and came to Drumheller from the little Rocky Mountain town of Canmore, where I went with my cousin Ann many years ago.

Have you ever had the feeling of walking into an 'eating house' and feeling you just 'belong?' That's how I feel in Alicia's place, to say nothing of the soup, whose name I have already forgotten, but whose taste I will always remember.

I leave Drumheller in 2 days and go to the big city of Calgary before returning to Toronto; I carry many beautiful memories with me.

Shabbat Shalom. Peaceful Sabbath
Sister Gila

Hi

It seems "Skin" needs sponsors. How did you see it?

Dear Barbara, Margaret, Tim and Moyra

Just got back to the Blog to find all your messages-it does my heart good, as today was a difficult one-tiredeness kicking in a little.

Love to you all

Dear Barbara
I have not actually seen the movie-only met the producer over breakfast. I think it has had sponsorship and publicity, but waiting for the reaction of the public. Maybe we can go together.
