Lumpias

We were fortunate to live in Albany, Ca. for 9 years while the girls went to elementary school.  Nearby was Albany Village which was married student housing for UC Berkeley.  As you can imagine, people came from all over the world to attend UC and many brought their families with them.  This segment was inspired by a young girl whose family was from the Philippines that my daughter (the narrator) became best friends with.

William Reed's parents came to the United States through Ellis Island.  They settled in Missouri.  He took off for Spokane Wa. with these horses and wagon.  ​

My daughters are of two different 'color's' and me.  They have not been to the Grand Canyon by the way.  Damon added that image.  I've been there and this is what I imagine it would be like if they had come with me.  This makes a wonderfully colorful picture.
