Memoir Mondays: New Years :)

I looked around and I saw every one very happy talking to each other I looked at the 12 grapes for every one and I wondered how would it feel at 12 o clock without Olguita (my father side grandma) and Grandpa... Suddenly all the past years played quickly in my mind... All those crazy things that they made us do; wear yellow underwear(good luck for the year), eat 12 grapes at 12 o clock and make a wish for the 12 of them, count as many money as you can, and the last one, the most embarasing and the one that made me missed them more: Run around with bags (to travel a lot). I wasnt going to spend THIS new years with them but... who knows? maybe the next one and the next one. The important thing was that I had enjoyed the previous ones and that I had Olguita and Grandpa in my mind all the time as if they were there.

Slice Of Life.

I sat down on my desk chair. "This is going to be long.." i thought. I took the first photo album my very first one, i started to look for a picture that was good for my spanish project I passed pages and pages and I saw only me me me, until i found one when i was new born with a gigantic bunny besides me, i couldnt belive that i was this little. First album: check, six to go... As i wached carefully to all the picture my life started to play in my mind all the good times and bad times some i rembered well some not very well, i saw pictures that i havent seen in my 12 year old life! i was amazed i couldnt wait to do the presentation and show every body my pictures!

Memoir Monday: My Grandparents.

I used to spend a lot of time with my grandparents until I moved out. I used to sleep over at their house and I did always the same routine: I saw how grandma washed the dishes, we ate the sweet bread that they always had in the kitchen, and then we went to their room get in bed all together and watch TV until we were sleepy, at the morning we would eat breakfast and then I would take a bath in this very big plastic “bowl” and finally we would go to the park and play together. I felt very weird not having them around all the time anymore but I realized that they would be always with me in my memories and mind.
