Our Lady of Guadalupe

Today is the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Our church opened at 4:00 and the mariachi band played from 4:30 until Mass @5:30. After Mass they had a breakfast of pastries,tamales,menudo soup and a drink that I think is called horchata. It was very interesting. I worked at the soup kitchen from 10:30 until 4:30.

Working at the Soup Kitchen

Bob is working at the local soup kitchen this week, unloading truck and sorting food for their Christmas boxes.

 

 

 

Wednesday and Thursday

 Wednesday I was hungry for a big breakfast, so I got out the Coleman stove.

After that breakfast, I needed a hike in the woods.  The pond was very calm.

 

 

I always enjoy looking at unusual shaped trees.

 

 

Thursday as I got out of the Jeep at Grandma's house I saw a little guy looking out of a flowerpot on top of a post.

 

I moved the pot and there were two little lizards under it.  Can you find them in this picture?

 

 

 



 









 

Zyzzx Street

I thought that this was an interesting name for a street

Soup Kitchen

Janice went to Atlanta Thursday to spend a week or so with Karen and Amy. I worked at the Carrollton soup Kitchen Friday from 8 to 2:30 and today from 8:30 to 11:30. Yesterday was cooking and serving. Today was folding and taping boxes for their Christmas boxes.

Catch Up Post

Since I have the computer at Mom's today, I will post a few pictures from the last few days. Thanksgiving was spent at Amy's inlaws in Atlanta. They have a large beautiful home and we all felt very welcome.

 

 

 

 

Saturday was a beautiful day so Bob was out wandering in the woods at our park.

 

I found some interesting tree roots.

 

 

 



 

 

No Internet here

The park we are staying in has no Internet access, so I haven't been posting for a few days. We have been out hiking on the trails and sightseeing in the area. Today we are at Mom's house catching up on email and laundry.
