First we went to visit Papi at his shop, Mexico Linda, where he sells Mexican pottery and imports. (It's right on Bandera Road across from the elementary school if you need to buy pots, fountains, bird feeders, tiled mirrors or anything from South of the Border.)
He loaded her up with presents and kisses.
"Hola, Papi!" she said, surprising him by walking into his shop office alone.
"Hola, Mija!" he replied. After that, I didn't follow their conversation in Spanish until we were leaving and she said, "Gracias, Papi!'
We spent a happy afternoon at her house, playing with Charlie and Conway, Oreo and Yancy....
Raking leaves for Elena to jump into and toss Charlie into....
On the trampoline, Elena taught me how to play tramp basketball: "Hold your arms up higher, Yenna, then flick your wrists like this...."
