The perfomers.

I almost forgot. My Nena had a birthday Jan. 15th, she turned 12. I asked her almost a month before -what do you want for your bd?- She wasn't sure, didn't come with a single idea, so I suggested to go for whale watching. She was very pleased, since I have to say, she is an animal-lover, but not just in the cute kind of way. She really is a savvy of many things, so she enjoyed the adventure a lot. I hope one day we can go to Baja California Sur for a closer encounter with the gray whales.

So far, it was good.

And now. About the posting's title.

When I was a girl, school girl, I made it into several plays. I liked to perform, even I was kind of an artist. But I think my girls go beyond what I was or intended to be. Both are really good writers and like to dance, which wasn't my strong talent. Aitana is even a good drawer and very creative doing so.

The last projects for both of them was a video clip, Bidane made it for water conservation concerns and Aitana danced as a fire for a school project, to demostrate the wild fires destructions and consequences. -Lucky girls- Pepe knows how to use this devices to video clips.

The best of 2009

One of my resolutions for this year is to re-take my blog. I started to let it go before facebook, but now I think I should post regulary. It is kind of fun and my writing can be extensive, instead of small message like -my nose is bleeding or my zuchini soup is so delicious-. But I'm going to add one twist, every time I post something I'll announce it through facebook.


2010 is here, I'm very happy for this, every new year is a good thing and having reached it is even better.

But I have to say last year was a good one for me, I learned new things, I made new friends, and visited family in Mexico. Ah yeah, and I've being learning classic music and opera over-hearing this new hobby for Pepe. By the way, Mahler is kind of confusing and tortured guy.

One of the highlights of 2009 was Guanajuato, city of frogs in central Mexico. A very rich mining town during the colony time.

If you wondered what the name of this blog means, vestido colgante. You should know that's the title of my favorite painting by Frida Kahlo, my dress hangs there. We found an interactive exhibit of Frida Kahlo's work in one museum of Guanajuato.

Thanks to Isaura, Pepe's mama and Elliott that invited us.
