Mondays and Tuesdays for Cellpic Sunday

7 Replies

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.

Eduardo’s Gift

Since I saw him last, my gardener Paciano’s son Eduardo completed a three-day pilgrimage to Talpa, walking  and sleeping in rugged mountain terrain, to view its famous Virgin.   Today is the first time I’ve seen him in  three weeks, since I was in the states for nine days so missed two sessions.  When he turned up for his weekly English lesson today, he brought me this lovely hand carved wooden owl, inscribed  with this message  on the bottom, (which I have translated from the Spanish): “Souvenir of Talpa for dear Judit (sic).

Such a tender and unexpected gift from this sweet teenage boy!!! Today we spent a good hour reviewing the English names for parts of the body. To check his progress, I asked him to draw the human body and to label its parts.  After carefully  measuring distances to get the proportions correct, here he is at his labeling task. Joints are the hardest ones to remember. Certainly true with me re/ remembering them in Spanish!

Possible addition to the center of the east facing wall. See the blank spot?

Jesus and Eduardo have been working here for about 2 1/2 months now and have worked wonders. They’ve finished with the house, but I took a few photos yesterday and today as they worked on the studio. What next???

Eduardo had the exacting job of measuring off the designs.
And a chance to model the sombrero Morrie peed on two days ago. Never fear.. it has been washed and allowed to dry. He no longer sets it on the ground between wearings.
The owner of this disgraceful footwear shall remain unnamed. Suffice it to say they are comfortable and he can leave them out on his front stoop with no fear they’ll be stolen.
A Disreputable pair
Jesus prettied up the ugly scar from where a branch was sawed off for me, since this is my main view from my hammock.
The clouds are gorgeous in the later afternoon

and the scene was constantly changing
Finally, it was time to go up to the house
And before I knew it, Jesus and Eduardo were back.
Wait! let me comb my hair!
Perfect. A 24 hour cycle completed.
