Super Kiddo!

Claudio's brother, Daniel, turned the big 50 this past week and his wife, my sister in law, "threw the house out the window," which is Argentine for, had a heck of a party! She put together a surprise party at a ranch just outside of the city, fibbing that she needed him to accompany her to a work event. When they arrived, all of his friends and family were waiting for to surprise him...
It turned out to be a beautiful sunny day full of horses and BBQ. I can't say much for the company as I tremendously dislike all of my brother in law's friends...Not because I am a snob...ok maybe a little bit, but I just feel like they are a classless bunch, full of small minds and closed thoughts, telling jokes that only they laugh at.
Other than that, it was a lovely lovely day.
I got to zip around on one of the mares, nice to be in the saddle again, even if it was for only a split second. Meanwhile, Juani did a bit of his own flying...
These days have been full of smiling advances with little Juan. He goo's and gah's all day long...sometimes at a notch or two above what we would call an "inside voice" but it is so darn cute that people all around smile and comment on how beautiful he is. (proud mama)
I decided it was time to get back to some work, and well, like all things in this world, all I had to do was tell the universe I was ready to make some money, to work my bum off, and sure enough, three or so jobs landed on my doorstep. We will see which turns out to be the most lucrative, but I am pretty excited about it.

Other really amazing news is: Spanish in Rosario, the business I began a few years back, has been chosen to go in one of the most prestigious travel guides in all the industry of tourism; Lonely Planet! I am so proud, it is like watching my first child graduate high school!

Ok folks, well here is one more beautiful photo to tide you over until the next time I find a moment to sit down and type...
