3rd day -- Su casa es mi casa.

This morning's early weather forecast says a winter storm is coming in for tomorrow and lasting through Thursday. Brrrrrrrrrrrr. I just don't know if I'm ready for a Colorado winter. So I had to decide how best to accomodate my one-and-only student, Annie, whom I am tutoring in Spanish I. Usually she comes to my house and spends the whole day or even stays overnight. But with the chance that she might not be able to make it home for a few days, we decided that I would come out to her house, and we would work there. Her course deadline is just three days away!

Problem is, it's too easy to get cozy out here at Living Springs Ranch livingspringsranch.org where I have known my Moyer friends since December of 1990, so Annie and I have not begun to work on Spanish. The closest I have come to anything remotely connected is the delicious taco salad that Becky fixed us for supper --- Yum!! Does that count for anything?

The "coffee caddy" pot which hangs among the collection in the kitchen is a perfect photo to represent being here. Even after having been away from the ranch activities here for the two years I lived in central Kansas, this friendship remained strong and picked up right where it left off -- with hugs and welcomes and visits around the kitchen table, which is just what I need right now. The title of this entry expresses the hospitality of the Moyer family: Su casa es mi casa -- Their house is my house. No hay amigo como un amigo viejo. Y el cafe son gran.
