Even though I have a Home Economics degree, cooking is not one of my talents; however, today my taco salad was the favorite of the staff luncheon. Mother will be proud (or she won't believe me).
It is all about Zentangles at the moment as I prepare for the Silver Lake Fair. I finished last night the last of four large squares. They look good sitting side by side.
A reporter from The New Yorker joined the Votos por America tour in August to do an article on El Cucuy and immigration reform. We have been holding our breath ever since in anticipation of it going to press. My boss is controversial and the article could have gone either way. We all breathed a sigh of relief this morning when it came out in the October 23, 2006 issue. Check it out. It accurately describes the crazy world I work in.
The weekend was filled with good friends and lively conversation. I am so lucky to have the friends I do. I did my usual hibernation thing on Sunday. Spent most of it puttering and napping.
The Foundation celebrated Christmas early for the Jimenez Family of Santa Ana. The mother, Rosa, was kidnapped in El Salvador at age 7 and sold to someone in Mexico. After years of slavery, she was able to escape and cross the border into California. Despite her horrific life, Rosa has been able to raise 4 amazing children - Eduardo, Paola, Alfredo and Christina.
As a single mother, Rosa struggles to provide for her children. She came to El Cucuy's attention through a listener
. Cucuy decided to bring Christmas early to the family. On Wednesday, we all went down to Santa Ana and brought the family gifts of a bunk bed, a computer, toaster, blender, dishes, silverware and lots of toys for the kids. We also set-up a Christmas tree and decorated the house. I hope the trick or treator's do not get confused. Telemundo covered the story and aired it this morning on Cada Dia (like the Today Show on NBC).
Once again, a small dog was part of the story. (See the story about Oscar, the 1,000 lb man). Muñeca (Doll) was so cute. She maneuvered with great skill through the legs of twelve people standing in the living room.
