Tom is a really nice guy, but that is part of the problem. I had my whole family convinced (and it’s true) that Wendy’s is truly fine dining.  We made the really big mistake of leaving our kids with Tom and his wife, Sharon, for a weekend.  They wrecked 15 years of hard work by taking them to a gourmet pizza house and some snooty sushi place.  Now the whole family is wrecked.

It would not be so bad if the guy was not so tall and handsome.  Every time I see his full head of hair it makes me want to gag.  Today he took us to a French restaurant to eat Quiche Lorraine, Monte Cristo sandwiches, and Beignet pastries.  They were really good, but there is no way I am going to admit that in public.

Day 573 of 1000

We bought tickets for Lorena to visit her father and mother in Monterrey for a week at the end of the month.  Her grandmother Rosenda (Lauro’s mother) is 96 years old and Lorena needs to see her.  We would all like to go, but we cannot afford to miss the work and school.  We hope to get some pictures of all the cousins, aunts, and uncles.

The rest of us will stay here and hang out with our good friends from Indiana.  We are fans of homeschool, but really appreciate this family who we belive really does it right.  I am sure my blog posts for the weeks following will be heavily influenced by the conversations we have.
