I usually escort my mother to the grocery when she visits there. My mothers grocery is found at Kioge market.

My mother mainly sells  oranges at the grocery. She some times adds mangoes, bananas and vegetables in her stock.

This is my mother's farm. She picks some vegetables that she sells at Kioge market. She usually takes me to the farm to help her pick and record the quantity of the vegetables.

My mother is training me on how to pick the produce.I enjoy the company of my mother at the farm.

At last my mother manages to expand her grocery to an extremely large business. She has employed some three more people to work  her  behalf.

This is the larger Kioge market. It is divided into sections depending on what it sells. My mother is searching for a section that sells domestic animals like goats, sheep and cows.

This is the goat that my mother bought. It is a good one. My brother never liked goats but he has tried to like  them.
