How many ways are there for a girl to be seated? On a chair, in front of a stool, on a lap, on the stool, on the floor. So many chances to pull up a seat!

Easter Egg Hunt (Post #2)
This is only about 1/3 of the photos I took. Can’t resist showing them. I have movies of the egg hunt I’ll publish in another blog. The kids will enjoy seeing their photos. We had so much fun. The adults are Isidro, one of the first friends I made when I came to Mexico. He is an amazing artist. The tattoo is actually of a painting he did of himself. His son Wayan tattooed it onto his sister Paloma’s arm! The children around her and Isidro are her and her sister’s. Isidro has 6 grandchildren who are all in these photos. The youngest searcher is Alejandra’s baby. She is the niece of Yolanda(my housekeepr and friend of 24 years) and I first knew her as a student in the kid’s camp I used to assist with. Paloma, Isidro’s daughter and mom of four of his grandchildren, I knew as a small girl. She won an art competition I sponsored for kids to make posters to encourage people to clean up the lake..So I’ve made it through one generation in Mexico.
I’m going to post this. I’ll post a link to the videos later if you haven’t had your fill of Easter revelries. They are not professional level videos, as a matter of fact the last one I mistakenly recorded in slow motion . I don’t even know how to do that! It did it itself. I kind of like the effect, though. At any rate, here are the stills.
Mondays and Tuesdays for Cellpic Sunday
On Monday and Tuesday mornings, I teach these four charming students English. They are Eduardo, Pasiano’s son, Marie Jose and Alejandra, Yolanda’s nieces and Yoli, Yolanda’s daughter. So, instead of Cellpic Sunday, I guess these are my Cellpic Monday and Tuesday shots!
Nine years ago, Alejandra was one of the kids in a summer camp we threw for kids. Now she has two kids of her own! Here’s a picture of her way back then at age 12.
And a picture of Yoli 9 years ago:
I didn’t meet Marie Jose until a year ago, but here she is
at her confirmation celebration one year ago:
And here is Eduardo ten years ago at the age of 4, coloring on
my terrace while his dad was making my garden beautiful:
My life is enriched by the wonderful young people of Mexico.
For Cellpic Sunday
