Travelling Life

I have not been active posting blogs. I was traveling for work from Kansas City to Houston for past 6 weeks. I started writing the blog but didn't have enough time to finish it. All the time that I was traveling, the 2 things I missed the most is home and home cooked food. Traveling every week is tiring. But I'm glad it is over for now. I don't know about later!!! (sigh!)

The World Series started and ended while I was traveling. It wasn't fun watching the games all by myself but the final game-winning was on Sunday, which I got to watch with my husband. My team finally won something big. Go Royals!!!!

I travelled to The Woodlands, Texas half an hour north of Houston. I would have never thought that the Woodlands is a part of Texas. It's so green and wooded area hiding buildings, makes it look so pleasant. Even drive to work is pleasant...

There is a small pond by the work. My first day at work/project, I didn't dare to go out of the office building. But on the second day, I had to go check the pond out. While I was looking out the pond from the bridge, I saw fishes and turtles swimming up to where I was... That's how I found my little friends at work.

The next day I saw Herons; a gray one and a white one.... they were so beautiful! They live in the same pond but I don't think they're buddies!



The second week of work I had the urge to feed turtles. I didn't know what to feed them. After discussion with few of my colleagues I decided that packed pretzels should work. I broke the pretzels in tiny pieces and the fishes and turtles had a feast!

One day the hungry gray heron came where I normally stand and feed my turtles and fish friends. The heron jumped to catch the fish, I don't know if it was able to catch a fish or not but it was so amazing to watch what was happening!

Every week, I was looking forward to going home on Thursday. Thinking about it, it's really sad but I'm glad that I don't have to travel at least for 2 weeks. I have some recipes and DIY lined up and ready to share them with y'all :)
Here's some more pics of turtles and herons! Enjoy!
