help wanted!?!?!?

So after a nice brunch in Northbeach on the way back to the gf house we notice this ol' Chinese lady looking at her pumpkin. As we continue to walk forward a few more feet, I turn around and see her kicking her pumpking up the street. The rest go as follows..

below: so this is the beginning - it looks like she is yelling at me but she was a very quiet ol' Chinese lady who spoke a dialect of Mandarin..



below: So since i did not understand her dialect of Mandarin she proceed by writing her address on the pumpkin. (Her apartment was on Powell and Broadway - we met her on Powell and Union. So about a 4 block walk!! carrying a pumpkin!!)



below: this is by our 4th block we were nearing her apartment. I though it was a retirement home but she said "Bu - Bu - Bu" meaning NO NO NO.. she had a huge smile the whole way while we were walking..



below: we got to her apartment, she lived on the 3rd floor (no stairs). A little confused i set the pumpkin at the foot of the first floor. She said NO! And told me to carry it up the stairs.. This is my victory pose and us at the foot of her door..



After i dropped of the enormous pumpkin in her living room, she kindly asked us to come in for what i think would be tea and snacks. But we were a little bit oddly strucked by the whole matter and said no thank-you.


The ol' Chinese lady, whose name was "Wu." She is a gentle-hearted soul who wanted her enourmous pumpkin.. It would have taken her hours to kick and stab her pumpkin up 4 slightly inclined blocks. I felt a little tug on my heart and wished her well as we said goodbye. Her apartment seemed very lonely and dark. Auntie Wu if you blog.. I wish you the best with your pumpkin stew..!!!

and finally we had our traditional Sunday family dinner.. and it was ummm AWESOME.




STUDYING + PUMPKINS + Ol Chinese lady WU + Walnut creek...
