Troubled Waters

When you’re weary, feeling small, When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all. I’m on your side. When times get rough, And friends just can’t be found, Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down. When you’re down and out – When you’re on the street, When evening falls…

The Colorful Architecture of Mexico

Rich colors and shrunken architectural designs found in Ajijic, Jalisco. It is an 800 year old fishing pueblo that only changes in color. Beautiful? Driving down Calle Juarez on Mother’s day – May 10th in San Nicolas de Ibarra.  It looks like it was taken in the 1950’s in Black and White. Same casa in…

Forever Please

A Corgie cutie!  Or this tiny bundle of curls says “take me home forever, not temporary!” Boofer insures me that blondes have more fun. Looking for my next rescue dog for Mother’s day. via Daily Prompt: Temporary

Panicked

This morning a panicked neighbor described in her best Spanglish about a ring of child abuse that is occurring.  Fourteen children from a nearby village school have been forced to perform naked for a pornographer.  The parents of all the known abused children have filed legal declarations, but the government authorities are afraid to take…
