Day 421 of 1000
I just got off Skype with my mother-in-law, Conchita. She just returned to Monterrey from Georgetown, Texas where she went to a church convention with Pepe and Nena, her brother-in-law and sister. They had a great time. It is pretty odd that Grandpa Lauro did not go along, but his mother is 95 years old and needs someone to be close by to help out, so I guess Lauro drew the short straw.
We talked for about twenty minutes. I am always amazed at the community of Mexicans we know in Northern Mexico and Texas. They are very, very closely knit and love to get together with each other. That is the way it should be. Community like that is to be valued greatly. Some of our friends from North Carolina and Oregon went to the convention, too. We are feeling pretty bad about not being there ourselves. We are absolutely going to make our best effort to be there next year.
