Whatever day there is no school must be Saturday. At least that’s the way it feels. This week will have three Saturdays. Tuesday was the Aymara New Year and as our president is Aymara it has been declared a national holiday. Today, Thursday is the Catholic holiday Corpus Cristi which has been a holiday for as long as anyone here can remember. Then of course coming up in two days is the original and genuine Saturday. I find myself thinking I have to have my message ready for tomorrow but tomorrow is not Sunday yet.
Everyone is enjoying the days off. Marion is busy making goodies in the kitchen. She and Oscar just went out to buy another 100 lb bag of flour and another 100 eggs. This week is also a week of three birthdays so the kitchen is being well used. Oswaldo and his family will be coming for lunch today. I hear tacos are on the menu.
Yesterday was actually Wednesday and Oscar and Enrique had to visit the orthodontist in Santa Cruz. I went in early to get some shopping done and the boys came in after classes were done. We went looking for Fabian to get something to eat. He is supposed to be finished with work at 6:00. But because the next day was a holiday he had to work late.
Fabian is working as a builder’s helper. He is working long hours but is doing well. He has gotten a raise for being a good worker. One of the big lessons he is learning is that money goes faster than one expects it to and you have to administer it well or there won’t be enough left to live on until the next pay day. We praise the Lord for the way Fabian is taking responsibility for himself. He still comes home every week end.
