They raised rabbits and would skin them by the barn. And my brother and cousin would go "frog-gigging" at night by the pond and eat fried frog legs the next day. I never really learned to like to eat rabbit OR frog legs, but I have some great memories.

While it gives those who have more some perspective, it puts the material things in their appropriate place. You are both fortunate to have been invited to share in Lourdes' family's celebration. I am sure it is a day you will remember.Gluten Free Gringahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15261645283212253722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432484574789028174.post-64380786126364064562011-09-04T08:06:50.481-06:002011-09-04T08:06:50.481-06:00I always enjoy your photos, Nancy, and this was no...I always enjoy your photos, Nancy, and this was no exception.

We stayedin Olonfor 2 weekslast year, and witnessed a funeral for a wellknow man there...Amazing, the whole town took part, and really celebrated his life.

Your experience is exactly what I am looking forward to. I am a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (served when I was 53 in Central Asia)& my special memories are of similar gatherings. Thank you for your post & I look forward to meeting you & other expats. There are 3 of us who are traveling to Cuenca on the 16th & will be looking for the "expats hangout" on that Fri evening.
