Esther, our Veggie Delivery Girl

Esther comes to sell us veggies almost every Monday and Friday evenings. Her produce is pre-packaged in little plastic bags, except for the pineapple and bananas. Her prices are a little higher than the guy with the produce stand down the road, so I like to shop around. But it is convenient to have things delivered to your doorstep. It doesn't matter what we want, it always seems to be at the bottom of her bag, and she has to totally unload it and then repack it. Sometimes I buy things that I don't even need.







Her brother, Stanley, usually accompanies her, but she can pack the whole bag on her head. I haven't seen Stanley do any of the work. Maybe he is just her bodyguard.

Kurt helped lift the bag onto her head, and it was at least 50 or 60 pounds! Not an easy job.
