  6. Hi Leslie! This is Jackie (www.thevacafamily.blogspot.com) and I saw the comment you left regarding the Christmas candy. I wanted to know if you've found any yet or is there a way I could send it to you? Do you and your family make it to GDL often? I was thinking about you also because of Thanksgiving just being around the corner. I love the holidays and Thanksgiving is the only holiday I'm not able to celebrate because I don't know how to cook and well, here in GDL I haven't found American friends. When we lived in Puerto Vallarta it was a very different situation. Nevertheless, is there a way I can contact you so that I don't have to leave such long messages in your "comment" section?

  7. Hi Leslie!

    Just dropping by from the LB Tea Party. How is Mexico?

    Jack looks adorable (and cool!) and this is a lovely blog. I wish you and your family all the best there.

    P.S. Do drop by if you can. I'd love to have you.

  8. I was going to write a post about Revolution Day -- until I realized just how sad the event really is. Rather like celebrating the sadness of our Civil War. Instead, I decided to enjoy the sight of kids dressed up in their costumes. Nice photograph of Jack.
