Love and Gratitude

Christmas Vacation is upon us, and funny as it may be ... I need one !  The transition from Low season to High, from Wet to Dry, Hot to Cold !! was like a Tornado, and I was swept up in the middle of it !!  Migra was a part of all that too, but after the New Year, no more. 
Patricia and I' were fingerprinted on Tuesday, and we'll have our new Residency Cards early in the New Year.  

A great Fiesta on Friday, with  Kinder Class and Mother's putting on a show.  Tamales and that hot milky drink ?? for sale ...very good !! There was a full size manger, awaiting the Baby Jesus, but I was leaving just as Mary & Joseph arrived.  We'd already been there over 2 hours; 3:00 o'clock means 4:30 around here.
At least I got there just after 4, instead of 2:45, like some other Gringos  !!

No school, and no Casa check ins to tend to, until Boxing Day, and  then off to Pam's Tea.
Christmas with the Russell's, which will include Hockey Night in Canada, even if it;s a repeat.  Celebrating Ms. WR's Birthday tomorrow, on the beach, with Oysters I hope.
Quicinara on Saturday, Winter  Solstice Party at Aprils too ! 
When is there time to go to shopping in Vallarta ? and the Sea is rough, the moon full and high.  Instead of the man in the moon we have an Energizer Bunny !! and she is clear as the
nose on my face !

I am really looking forward to preparing for the School Year.  I have my helpers lined up to help me with my props and materials.  I think parts of The Globe and Mail will be a great
resource for teaching the more advanced kids.  That's exciting ! 
There are so many resources these kids do without, but B&A at the Library are a great resource, and together we hope to improve the learning experience for these kids !!

When I was at Migra, one of these times, I met a man who ran a lunch program up and down our coast, Las Animas, Yelapa, Pizota, Chimo, every school once a week, and that was
15 years ago !! He had Corporate Sponsorship, from USA.  What a guy !

Best Wishes Everyone, for a Safe and Happy Holiday .... Enjoy every moment !!
and I'll write again January 12th, the 2nd Sunday in January.

Love & Peace
