My bag is packed and I am ready to head west to Phoenix tomorrow at 1:00. Today I talked with Mario. He is in Guadalajara, Mexico, with 3 of his brothers visiting the places of their youth. He talked non-stop for about 30 minutes. He described very poor conditions but very happy people. He has eaten lots of good Mexican food, and so far his tempermental stomach is holding up to it. It was good to hear the joy and excitement in his voice.
I saw Mama Mia at the movies today with Judy and her mom and granddaughter. What a fun movie. Meryl Streep continues to amaze. The music is very good. I will be singing Dancing Queen in my sleep.
I have my nose in 3 different books right now. Today I got a wonderful book about Bobby Kennedy's run for the Democratic nomination in 1968. It's a great story. I also started Barbara Walter's book a few days ago--it's a long one--and I can see how having a mentally handicapped sister shaped her whole life. The other book is written by a Western doctor who uses acupuncture in his practice and has helped a lot of people that have not been successfully cured or rehabilitated with traditional Western medicine. Hm.
I had Cora, Hannah, and Nolan for a sleepover last night. Well, 2 out of 3 stayed the night. At about 10:30, Nolan got up and brought me his shoes and asked to go home with Mommy. He had stayed the night once before and did fine, so it surprised me a little. He loves his mommy, and I think he didn't feel good, so she was what he needed. The girls spent the morning creating art projects. Cora has a creative streak that is entertaining. I always make sure I have art supplies for her. Hannah follows along, but Cora has the ideas.
I will be away from the blog til the end of next week when I return from Phoenix. I will have some new photos of the Arizona Camachos. And hopefully Mario will have a few from Mexico too that I can share. I am sure he will have many stories. Adios amigos.
