Photo slide show to go with previous post...or just look at certain
photos, NOT in a 400 strong slide show. Slideshow here and since there are so many photos, set the slider for changing slide duration to one second each, k?? Oh, I just watched the show and it only goes a little ways into the 400, so nevermind. To see them all as a slide show, go to the album and then on the right side in a yellow box, select slide show option. Photo album here TAMAL FIESTA~ El Centro Cultural

Grandma got lost in a world of bailes indigenas at El Centro Cultural.
I will have a slide show up soon, God willing. I took 441 photos in the middle of helping to hostess and to manage and to clean and to secure and to entertain and to have fun myself at the TAMAL FIESTA at El Centro Cultural de las Americas in Tucson, Arizona, yesterday. When I arrived at 2 p.m. the garden was full of waving papel picado, breezes tossing the sheets of paper around above my head. Bright table cloths were being placed over white ones and small burro pinatas full of flowers were...

Went to the Zoo with children, painted faces first.
I made a video of the day and added some happy music to it. Here is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipy_Ugqm214 Youtube's default setting is HQ for viewing and it messes up regular photos, so click on the HQ button to lower the quality to normal and the photos come out pretty. Or watch it here.....

You know you live or you've lived in Mexico when...
-A wedding is at 8:00 p.m., you get there at 10:00 p.m. and nobody has arrived yet. -You will often have lunch and dinner at the same restaurant on the same day... without actually leaving -You believe a shot of tequila cures everything. -You have more prescription drugs in your toiletry bag than Dr Simi does and you don't have an actual prescription for a single one. -You bring along small cans of chiles when traveling to Europe. -Leaving the office at 5:00 p.m. means working a "half day"....

Uploaded a photo to an blog entry and it clicked as though accepted, but
the post never showed up and my computer crashed as it was deciding what to do with the photo. I could not even escape Blogit as my keyboard stopped working and all things stopped working. Afraid of Blogit now. Got the computer going again, but it took three hours.

Going to my best friend's birthday, she is African American and we live in
the southwest US and we are having Asian food. God. I love America!!! Diversity rules and we embrace each other in many ways unheard of inside other societies. Bueno, at least, in my crowd, heheheheheh. A song for her birthday...for you, too. The song says that a friend is your home.

I babysat from 8 to 10 kids on Thursday with only one crybaby, and it was
I put a blankie over the head of the crybaby, as he kept his eyes shut, not wanting to be where he was nor see what there was to see, so I helped him by covering up his head. He sat on the carpet and just stopped crying when covered. Sat awhile, got up and walked around covered up and cried uncontrollably when uncovered, so, I learned quickly. Leave him covered. The ADHD fellow was made my assistant and loved the position, ate it up, did it well and anticipated and controlled the crowd with me....
