On June 17th. at 8 am, My Boricua will have a medical exam at the VA Hospital. This will define the pending claims and at some extend our future. We want to relocate close to my family, somewhere in California where the weather is warmer.
So to keep my mental sanity I have been...
cooking 'comfort foods' like Mexican rice. Onion, cilantro, Anaheim (California) peppers, tomatoes, chickien bullion with tomato, tomato sauce are the ingredients for this delicious dish.
pampering My Boricua with his favorite Mexican dishes like this Caldo de Res and Arroz, Beef stew with Mexican Rice in my red tray.
enjoying the delicious food our city offers.
delighting in beautiful sunsets. ( Oswego NY. )
finding little treasures in thrift stores like these placemats and a tablecloth for Christmas with my favorite The Poinsettia or as we call it in Mexico "Flor de Nochebuena" ( The Good Night Flower).
looking back at my pictures to get inspired again. (wall in our previous home with my collection of suns and a red wall. I loved that house unfortunately there were many issues as you can see on the dining room ceiling.)Happy Rednesday....

Oh Julie, thanks so much for your words of encouragement. It is hard to keep peace when so much is in jeopardy. Thanks for your prayers. Hugs to you too.
NannyKim, yes! we want to be closer to family, our kids are growing up so fast, here in NY we don't have relatives, so holidays, birthdays and summers aren't as fun as those 2 weeks we vacationed in Mexico.
Diann, thanks!! ;-)

Cotty,
I am praying about Thursday. Rest all of the results in the Lord's providential doings and His loving hands taking care of your family. Do all that you know to do. Give it all you've got and then lay it down and watch and wait to see what God has in store. Many are praying for an excellent outcome for you and your family! Praying...asking God's very best for you. Hugs.
Oh Julie, thank you, thank you. I am out of words, trying to rest, to keep it calm, to enjoy every minute, giving thanks and waiting, just waiting with faith in Our Lord. Thanks for those precious prayers...
Hugs to you too....
