It's been a tough week with being not well, only to discover after spending the morning at the hospital that I have 4 kidney stones lodged between kidney and urethra. The dr is hopeful I will be able to pass these by myself.
So here are some joys #5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii
1. Poppies blooming
2. Oakley enjoying Poppies
3. My baked goods are selling well at the markets
4. Still managed to bake even with being not well
5. Opening day at new Market

kspenmoll Kidney stones are so painful. So sorry. Your poppies are beautiful; your baked goods look yummy.😍 2d

April Wrap-up
It was a slow month. My dog Rose died, and I was too distraught to focus well. It sucked. I am very sad. I hope I can concentrate better in May. I did manage to read a few good books.

Baking Cakes in Kigali: A Novel | Gaile Parkin

pick

An absolutely charming book! Tanzanian Angel bakes beautiful unique amazing cakes in Kigali, #Rwanda, there with her professor husband teaching in the university. Each customer has a story and Angel learns a lot and shares a lot, and solves a problem here and there. She learns how the neighborhood prostitute got that job 😢 and how the local ladies handle female mutilation. Angel solves marital woes and so much more. She reminds me of Mma ⬇️

Texreader Ramotswe from the No. 1 Detective Agency down in #Botswana. If Angel were the main character in a series I‘d read all her books. Finally, this is post-genocide, and it‘s a reflection of how far the country has come for the peace to be secure for such a lovely novel to exist without reference to Hutus or Tutsis. A great read I would have missed but for #foodandlit. Highly recommended. 2mo

Cortg Awesome! Glad you found a good read! 2mo

I‘ve been reading rather than writing reviews! So… coming soon, a raft of reviews!

CSeydel I‘ve had A Thousand Hills on my TBR for years - will look forward to your review! 2mo

BooksandCoffee4Me Baking Cakes is my next read — looking forward to it! 2mo

Texreader @BooksandCoffee4Me It‘s so good! I just posted my review 2mo

Texreader @CSeydel I do recommend it even if it‘s dated. It‘s a very very good description of what the world did while the genocide occurred. Check out my review here

Great quotes. First, I love that the main character Angel, the cake maker, is going through the “change.” The doctor asked Angel if she‘s flashing! Poor Angel she‘s flashing all the time. I feel for her!

And second, don‘t you just love the name Dr Rejoice?

#foodandlit #Rwanda @Catsandbooks

kspenmoll Yes to Dr. Rejoice! 2mo
