Small steps

This week I called some of my family and told them about the exhibit. There was no jumping for joy as I imagined, but everyone was excited to hear what I am up to out here in the midwest. My Titi B said she would look out for interesting additions in her neighborhood in Jersey City and my mother reminded me that most botanica warehouses (at least the ones she went to with my grandmother, her mother-in-law) are owned by Jewish men. I think, in light of this reminder, that I will begin keeping a more detailed project journal so that I can come back to things like this when I am finished with the Jardines project.
