DIA DE LOS MUERTOS

 

A ghostly George with a common cold.

It’s that time of year again.  Not just “All Hallows” Eve, but it’s “Day of the Dead” day too.  In Mexico, families put up altars to those who have died.  They celebrate them with flowers, favorite foods, and images.  They dance, they sing, they paint their faces, and new to the celebration, they parade.

Wikipedia has “The Day of the Dead” well described:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead

I share with you some of my friends that I celebrate.

Janey.

 

The Jetty Dancer.

Blather and Diane.

My kids and I are still here, but everyone else is gone.

  1. It definitely is bittersweet to live so long that you have a long list of friends to commemorate.

  8. Naps are good! LOL I was surprised that I recognized so many of your friends who have passed. I especially remember Paula, Marion and Duck. I utterly hate the thought of you not being here in my life... do take care of yourself!

  9. So hard to lose so many friends but that’s the price of aging I find, too.
