FYI - I found this blog entry sitting in my Drafts file. I can't believe I never posted this! The blog entry is at least 3 years old. Oh well, I still love it and love what I tried to communicate. Read on and enjoy! xoxo...
Oh how I love the Mexican Sisters! They're funny, lovable, and cook amazing. I'm talking about my mother's sisters. Two of them are in town for a long weekend and I love it. How can I explain the joy in my house right now?
Yesterday my mom took care of my nephew but it was great seeing her sisters help with feeding, playing, and cuddling. All three grandmothers taking care of a one year old. Priceless!
Taking care of my nephew didn't stop them from their real mission of cooking as much as possible in the shortest amount of time. Last night the sisters baked mexican bread and mexican cookies called coricos. Today the sisters are making tamales. They've been up since the crack of dawn working on this process. It's a tamale assembly line! haha! But seriously, I love this. They have been working hard and talking about everything and anything. I guess this is my small glimpse of their life back in the days at "el rancho".
I abosolutely love these ladies! They still fight like they're teens, laugh like their teens, and enjoy each other like only sisters can. So today it is my duty to spend the day with them and drive them wherever they want to go. I am happy to oblige!
