I am grateful .....

that I have great friends who treat me with wonderful gifts

and she can cook much better than I can....and that's saying a lot!

my good friends....

I'm grateful that I could hike in the Alaskan mountains this summer

San Miguel de Allende Momentos

Oh Mexico....so many great memories of our Tesoro de Corazon retreat. We'll return here next year...be sure and sign up on our interest list on our blog....we sold out by January this year! 

We celebrated Dia de los Muertos in the jardin at the center of town. The nights were alive with music, parades, lights and color. 

 the little ones dress up on Hallows eve...not quite sure what to do with those bags yet! Some of them don't know about the candy tradition...so cute

 Altars are made throughout the jardin for loved ones

 The parades are home made...some fireworks and giant paper mache figures

a  huge skeleton made out of bread dough!
