Saturday

It was an absolutely beautiful here in Santa Ana today. I did bits and pieces today. Work on a leaky commode, read some; eat, work on leaky sink, read some and eat; get the children's extra school uniforms out of bodega, read some and eat. Do you see a pattern here? Yep I like to eat. for lunch the ladies here had fried corn tortilla strips and placed chicken cooked in tomato sauce on top of the strips and then topped it with a version of cole slaw. It was really good. Thankfully I had my drink of orange juice with me when I went to lunch. The juice for today was beet and lemon juice. Not bad just couldn't get past the beet thing. For supper we had quesidillas and Karen taught me how to make them the correct way! I usually lose a little weight here because I don't have the high calorie sweets but this time I may gain! I am loving eating the fresh fruit. Pineapples, bananas, melons; I could almost live on them. Well them and caffeine:)
There is always so much going on here that it is hard to keep track of. Today, the house parents were moving as they found another job, Dorian was helping them pack and doing homework and then drove a load to their new home; three hours away. There is a lady here from Fla. who is working on assessing the children and maybe starting counseling. She and her daughter in law came for the weekend. So the lady and Karen spent all day meeting individually with the children. Sandra, one of the ladies who works here got all the children's school uniforms and had the children try them on to see what needs purchased before school begins middle of February.
I will post some pics of the children here at Casa and say goodnight.
I can't get pics to upload tonight, so until tomorrow..............Hasta manana
