Guadalupe Day, or the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, is a major Catholic celebration on December 12th, commemorating the Virgin Mary's apparitions to St. Juan Diego in Mexico in 1531, marked by Masses, processions, traditional dances (like Danza Azteca), and feasts (tamales, champurrado) at basilicas (like in Mexico City) and churches globally, honoring her as a powerful symbol of Mexican identity, motherhood, and faith.
Today's Name Day: Alexander
Saw both my friend JS & CA during live videos at events with Indians dancing. I had to ask about it. A Mexican thing. Always good to learn something new.
Had an early text from MM. Nice. Missing him.
Met LL for lunch at the White Peacock. Really quiet in there. Very few cars in front of the Ol Stuga. Odd. Then off to work.
Worked on a huge pile of tiny photos. Hate those!! Will take me forever. Plus I was freezing.
Supper was carnitas at Jalisco's. Plus they had fútbol on the tv. Nice to watch.
Not many people in eating when we got there. Then it filled up!! Plus huge boxes of food going out the front door! As soon as I was done with my ice cream we took off.
Temp stayed around 45F. Felt cooler than that. The weather men get so sad when they forecast cold & no rain or snow. But let the them get too excited about a warm forecast they almost do a happy dance, Winter has not started even & they are talking about the ending of it.
Photos are mostly drawings about winter & Christmas.
