It is my custom to encourage Maria to celebrate the dawn of each new day by admiring and giving thanks for the bright sun, the cool mist, even the gray rain.
Yesterday morning when I pointed out the glorious gold of the leaves and the clear, bright sky and the rolling bucolic fields near our home, she matter-of-factly said:
"Mami, I don't want to live in the country anymore.''
"You don't? Why not?''
"Because, I want to live in a city where I can wear pretty dresses everyday.''
Ay, Princesa, you are Abuelita's granddaughter, says the Mami with guinea fowl poo on her botas.

The ONLY thing I miss about going to work is wearing high-heels and make-up.
(Then again, that's also what I don't miss at all.) =D
