Today Cassie brought us a carton of butter.
Who would of known that butter could make someone so happy.
FYI:
Dairy products were very hard to come by where we lived. We were extremely limited on the quantity and quality of food we recieved. Butter was a huge TREAT. You don't realize how much it gets used on a daily basis. Towards the end of our stay we made friends with a man from Georgia who had just opened up a Southern Style food restaurant. He was so kind to our family and fed us well. Seriously the best hush puppies I have ever had! Although, I was starving and pregnant...so my judgment could have been easily skewed...ha! One night we had asked him about where he buys his butter and next thing we knew, he cut us off a chunk from his block. It was like Christmas. It was such an act of kindness cause 1.butter is very expensive and 2.butter is hard to find. We were able to eat toast that entire week and then some.... To him, I will forever be thankful.
