So things have changed a bit at home even in just the past few days.

Miguel left this morning for MA.   Miguel was good times.  He had alot of good one liners like “Vives solo un tiempo”, “pinta la ciudad rojo”, etc.

Before he left, Stella, Neri, Miguel, Carla, and I drove to the next pueblo over to see the celebration for Ash Wednesday.

And of course we had to get a snack too. I forget the name of this, but it is made of fried plantain and is covered wth condensed milk, honey, or chocolate. It is in the same family as fried dough... definite carnival food.

And we got a new member of the family.  Her name is Muñeca (doll).   Stella got her from her cousin.   Huesito was getting really jeleous when everybody was paying so much attention to the bird.   Stella´s new favorite way to play with Huesito is to hold her buttondown sweater like she´s holding a bird and talking to it and chirping… Huesito gets all jeleous and starts wimpering…

I`ve come to the conclusion that Huesito needs his own TV show.  It doesn´t have to be long, I think 5 minutes every morning would be enough to get you going in the morning.
