Children’s Christmas Parade
I couldn’t resist sharing pictures of a children’s Christmas parade in downtown Playa del Carmen on my recent trip to that area of Mexico. The kiddos were all precious (even the Grinch), and the costumes delightful.
Red Wagon
I was all set to write this week’s column about the excitement of summer camp, until the view from my front window changed my mind. During the course of any morning, local residents stroll or run by, on their daily regimen of exercise. I admire them for their determination and fortitude, but am less than… Continue reading Red Wagon
Life of Luxury
Back to reality and the life of luxury to which I have grown accustomed. I learned several things about myself from my travels around Kenya some years ago: I am not a missionary, and small luxuries are mandatory. Hot water on demand, paved roads, and commodes to sit upon are not frills in my book,… Continue reading Life of Luxury
Three Kings Day Celebration in Mexico
Three Kings Day is when kids in Mexico celebrate Christmas, and it is the day when expectations are high and presents are opened. I recently volunteered at a Three Kings Day fundraising event for the construction of a cistern at a village school, and the kids from the community, ages 6-12, who attend this 3… Continue reading Three Kings Day Celebration in Mexico
Children in the Easter Pageantry
The Easter celebration in San Miguel continued throughout the week with parades, altars, and statues. I thought I would share some photos of the children who often led the parades scattering flowers ahead of statues of the Virgin Mother Mary and Jesus.
Pull Up a Seat
I can’t get near a playground swing without wanting to jump into the seat and begin my ascent and descent thrill. I want to go as high as I can, then, I get scared and worry that I may go over the top. But the anticipation is addictive. Find more seat pictures at https://xingfumama.blog/pull-up-a-seat/
A Family That Prays Together
Attending church isn’t a routine I embrace, but hey, the kid asked, and I said yes. Exiting the house I gulped, my eyes darting from the parked car in the driveway to the teenage boy beside me. What do I do, get in the car or backtrack and renege on my word? I stopped before… Continue reading A Family That Prays Together
Smiles Around the Globe
From around the globe I found smiling people, all ages, all colors, all languages. Here are a few pictures I have taken in China, Kenya and Mexico as part of the Daily Post Photo Challenge with the prompt of ‘Smile’. See many more happy folks at https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/smile/
Street Scenes of San Miguel de Allende
San Miguel de Allende, Mexico is not my ‘hometown’, but I have adopted this lovely city where I can live for several months each year. I’m showing various pictures of the sights that greet me each day as I roam the streets of SMA. See much more at https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/ Parroquia De San Miguel Archangel … Continue reading Street Scenes of San Miguel de Allende
