Lazy morning, great afternoon, wonderful evening

Yet another lovely warm sunny morning for my 17 lap run, maybe this time next week 18????

We had a lazy morning and left at noon to go to Mexicito, which is the boys home and the equivalent of Santa Julia where the girls go.

Today celebrates the end of the 12 days of Christmas and the Epiphany and commemorates the arrival of the Three Kings to Bethlehem bringing gifts to Jesus.  It is a day of laughter and joy for the boys and girls of both homes.  What made this especially interesting for me was that Paola’s two brothers go to this home.

When we arrived the girls were singing carols in both Spanish and English.IMG_2436

Paola is in the middle front row with her arms around the young girl.

Danielle sure takes a great photo!!IMG_2462

We all commented on how it was so amazing that about 80 children received a gift each, ate pizza and pop, watched a puppet show and jumped on a trampoline and not one tear, fight or shout.IMG_2477 IMG_2485

These photos are so wonderful!!!IMG_2490

This I think sums up the afternoon.IMG_2489

All the kids wore these T shirts.  It was yet again another wonderful day filled with so much love with kind and generous people who support these needy children.

We went out to supper again tonight and then to a local cafe where a trio of British artists were performing a comedy routine.IMG_2502

It was a good show and of course with us all being of good British stock we understood every word.

So ends yet another great day….oh did I forget to mention something???

Let me think now!!!!

What was it??
