- Knowing Louie is comfortable and happy wherever he is (which is wherever he wants to be except outside).
- Listening to Nahum play his “flute” along with the radio. He HAS TO HAVE music. He has to. It calms his soul and makes him happy. He is normally shy … but with music, he is outwardly happy, and forgets he's in the room with us.
- Studying Spanish (or English) with Gener or Nahum while we’re both in the same hammock … helping each other speak correctly in each others’ language AND feeling like it’s the most natural thing to do. There’s no embarrassment … just encouragement and correction.
- Laughing at Saul’s silliness, which spurs him on to be mas loco. He’s a very dramatic nut ball.
- Breezy (sometimes windy) mornings and evenings that sweep away the hot air.
- Good coffee and time to sit and enjoy it.
- Grocery shopping with the boys in big markets or road-side stands, and seeing the delight on the boys’ faces that we are able to buy food. It’s fun to let them choose. It’s like you gave them a million bucks!
- Having the shopping cart always pushed by the boys (I don’t like pushing a shopping cart). They boys have to take turns … somehow or other they think it’s a great thing.
More later ...
