OK , maybe hate is a strong word..I really DISLIKE Nerf guns! My two children wanted them the other day, so the hubby complied and purchased them matching Nerf guns and ammo. ( Can you say not a smart idea?) So today while the husband is at work I get to listen to "who shot who in the head", "who has more darts than who" etc. You can imagine! Tomorrow we will be going to the summer clubhouse movies at the local cinema. That will keep them calm for a few hours.

Is there grass in Mexico?
A few days before we were to leave on our last trip to Mexico, a co-worker of mine asked me a funny question. This is how the conversation went.
Co-worker: "Fredda, do they have grass in Mexico?"
Me:" Huh?"
Co-worker: "You know, does grass grow in Mexico?"
Me: "Um, yes." (trying not to laugh)
Co-worker: "I'm serious, in all the movies and pictures of Mexico, all I see is desert and sand."
Me: "Yes Mexico has grass, and trees and plants. It's not all desert."
Co-worker: "Will you take a picture of it for me? You know, when you go."
Me: "Sure thing. You want to see the trees too?"
Co-worker: "Yeh, that'd be cool."
Me: "Ok, I'll take one just for you!"
The more I thought about it, the more I had to agree that my co-worker was right. Before I knew Mexico and all of it's beauty, I thought it was all cactus, desert, and donkeys.
This is one of the pictures that I showed her to prove that "Yes, grass grows in Mexico."
