You Never Know What People Will Donate...

Yesterday I heard a knock on the window. A man was standing at the door, with a bag in hand. He thrust the bag towards me, "Here, these are for the girls." I peered in and saw lots of watches. "Wow, these are great, thanks for donating these!" He shrugged, "You can have one too if you want." He walked away and I opened the bag further. Not only was the bag full of watches, it was full of "Hello Kitty" watches.

I went and found Gloria to share our new wealth.

Me: Gloria, are you ready for a funny surprise?

Gloria: (skeptically) What do you have?

Me: Umm... (tossing her the bag) Look.

Gloria: Wow, there must be a hundred! They're all "Hello Kitty!"



We are going to have little girls dripping in "Hello Kitty" watches as we counted them and we have 67! At first it sounded like a lot of watches, but with Blanca capable of breaking at least three a day, before long, we will be wondering where they all went. :)

Jaqueline The Pirate

Playing soccer on Saturday afternoon, Jaqui was involved in a crash with Michel that resulted in a nasty black eye. She took off her patch long enough to take this picture. After I finish patching her, she looks more like a war victim than a pirate, but the nickname la pirata is catchier. (Teresa, what do you think of her eye, should we take her to the clinic?)
