Yolanda, mi abuela


Hoy hubiera sido su cumpleaños. Mil besos a mi abuela querida.

Images that I enjoy remembering from our times together:
- Abuela hitting the pailas religiously every noon during Noreiga's reign in Panamá.
- Sitting in her rocking chair watching Jeopardy on the Armed Forces Network with the TV in a closet.
- Watering her plants at night with old ice cream containers.
- Burning ants off the leaves of her plants with cigarettes (before she quit).
- Las clases de cocina.
- Playing bridge with her friends all afternoon.
