puppetmakerThe holiday that celebrates the Mexican Army defeating the French for their independence. Imagine what would have happened if France had stayed in power. People in countries both North and South of the US would be speaking French.
And honestly until it became a big deal here in the United States, it was a rather minor holiday in Mexico. It is not the Mexican equivalent of St. Patrick’s Day unless you are working for the liquor distributors who have made this yet another important drinking holiday.
This morning so far I have gotten Peter to the train since he is going into the city for a screening of Iron Man 2, gotten the recyclables to the curb for pick up, and gotten Caroline to school on time. Next on the plate is some computer stuff for Peter, laundry, post office, larder, and cat food. By that time it will be time to get Caroline. And then we are going to pick up sticks so that Peter can mow the back. He mowed the front so that we won’t get a ticket for an unruly lawn.
Since our phone contract was almost up, we got Peter a new phone. They combined his need for a phone with his love for his GPS and he has a GPS now in the palm of his hand. Which makes him very happy. He is still learning how to use it but it can be rather complicated. It didn’t add much to the bill so it is worth it to us.
I am grateful for cool phones that work for us.
