Last weekend, I went grocery shopping on a Saturday (no, it wasn’t at night, Joy). Every Saturday morning, a school bus goes into town to take those of us who choose to go. It is usually a crowd of about fifteen. “Market days” involve leaving at 6:30 a.m. to go to the stadium where a HUGE area is full of all kinds of fresh foods (fruits, vegetables, meats) for very low prices. Then, the bus swings by the grocery store before going back to the school—it usually returns at noon. Those days are long mornings; every other Saturday is a “market day.” Thank goodness this Saturday was a simple 8 a.m. departure for the grocery store, Chinese restaurant, and a bread bakery. Yes, Alan, I said Chinese...and it was really good! I think they had the best egg rolls I have ever had.
Then, I had a nice nap before heading to the Hines house for dinner and some Rummy. The day was simple and laid-back. I enjoyed the time to relax; many weekends have been full.
Sunday, Joe drove Katie and I to Los Pinos. It is so nice to see this church active in the community. The kids are so much fun to be around—today there was a piñata that entertained for a good while. Look below for some great pictures of a fun afternoon.
I will write again soon with more details of the previous weeks.
Love you all, Jen

I loved looking at your pictures, especially of Astrid and her sister. I got the opportunity to get to know their family when we built them a concrete block house summer of '04. Thanks for all you do.
