This burro is ready for a wedding party! (It's a pretty easy gig, as far as burro work goes.)

I was walking and made a cat friend! She didn't want to let me go so I had two passing teenagers take a picture of us. Then all three of us pet the cat until she decided we could leave. ❤😻

Mariachi in front of the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel. Every night. ❤

So, this is one of the things I love about Mexico. Yes, those are decorative skeletons and, yes, those are real coffins. Everyone decorates for the season. Why should the funeral home be an exception?

So, how is this for a perfect Sunday? Lunch at our hotel, Casa de los Soles, while David Mendoza plays, surrounded by a thousand suns and eating fabulous salmon! I honestly don't know how it gets any better than this!

On my nightly walk. I usually post photos of the bustling downtown scenes, but there is this side of San Miguel too.

A little cafe music for your enjoyment. Just another night in San Miguel.

The obligatory first night photo. Yes, it's still there.

Here I am, back in San Miguel de Allende, walking down the street on a normal day. So happy!

One last walk around the neighborhood before we take off for Mexico tomorrow. I'm telling you, folks around here are ready for Halloween!

What a fun day! I got to celebrate my amazing mom's 90th birthday at my sister's house with more than 30 guests. And yes, I know how lucky I am!

I don't need to tell you that Halloween is serious business around here!

This house doesn't need to decorate for Halloween. It is Halloween!

I just discovered this yard today. Talk about next level Halloween skills! I think I might need to organize a Halloween garden tour.

So, this is easily the chillest skeleton in the hood. He's just hanging out, waiting for Halloween!

I am in love with this Halloween doggie family!

There is the moon, shining over the St. Paul University Club. So pretty and such a lovely night!

Off to the theater! (I had to show off my new boots.)

They are taking over Summit Avenue. It is a particularly severe infestation this year!

I got to meet with my folks and their realtor, Gina, at their new digs today! I like it. They'll have room for some serious parties!

Peter and Nina and me having dinner out last night in Chicago. Nina is a friend from San Miguel and a wonderful (and funny!) poet.

Don't you hate that?

In Chicago, a beautiful craftsman-era building, an art installation in Millennium Park, a photo of Nina and me in front of Lake Michigan, and an opossum outside the Field Museum. (She wanted to know what I was doing there.)
