Just some thoughts from New Mexico, mostly about New Mexico, New Mexican History and my New Mexican ancestors and relatives. Some other miscellaneous stuff I come up with and also some thoughts of mine on matters of importance to me.
As William Faulkner once said "The past isn't dead. It isn't even past."
Also, if you are afraid of skeletons then stay out of closets and if you are ashamed to have ancestors who do not meet your social standards then stay away from genealogy.

Dar gracias antes de comer
A very simple "thanks" prior to eating our meals when I was a kid in the 1950's in New Mexico.
Gracias a Dios que me da de comer sin merecerlo, my tatita Dios, Amen
We weren't as humble but were in equally a hurry to start eating:
ReplyDeleteWe thank thee Lord, for food and friends, and all the good, they mercy sends. Amen.
