One is actually named Don Eduardo

Local Artist Fernando Quiroz. We met at Sam's hacienda.

We purchased a piece of his days ago and

were looking for him. Lucky we found him

Things have been hectic the last few days.  We went to a TGIF party at someone's lovely home.  Everyone brought some snack to eat and booze to drink.  What an array of goodies.  It really was supper with all that was there.  Socialized and then next door to another lovely home to hear fantastic music.  Above is Linda, Squier and Martin.  Comments were made that we heard Willi Nelson and Emmy Lou Harris.  They were that good.  It was a total blast.  Martin serenaded us with Spanish songs that were so lovely, plus his guitar was amazing.  The talent here is great.

 

 

Saturday night we heard children sing Christmas carols in English for the gringos and then the gringos sang for the audience, but not in Spanish.  It was delightful.

 

Sunday we paid a visit to Carol and Sam where you see Ed was given lots of tequila.  Sam is very proud of his tequila collection and Ed complied with Sam's wishes to sample different brands.

While we were there Fernando, the artist stopped by and we couldn't believe it was the same person who did the piece of artwork we bid on at the silent auction for the education charity.  Ed promises to take a picture of the piece soon.  Fernando's wife makes beautiful dolls with very detailed dresses and sells them, so Carol bought one to add to her doll collection.

 

Last evening we learned of a Christmas parade around the town.  It was charming with children dressed in red outfits and riding in the back of trucks.  Really sweet.

 

That takes us to today.  Went to Yoga and who knows what's lurking outside as far as fun is concerned.  Tomorrow we have to stop at Terecita's cafe for some fabulous chocolate chip cookies that her staff makes.  As we said, food is great here.  Darn.
