It's finally cooling down here in the Valley of the Sun ~ we've had the windows and doors wide open, letting in the cool air. There are a ton of tag sales this time of year, so I hit some estate sales, garage sales and a church rummage sale with my mum, sister and niece this weekend. My best find was paying $4 for a bag of stamps (mostly used/cancelled), which I can use for art, but there was also about $10 worth of unused miscellaneous postage stamps in there and some old coins and a bank note from Nicaragua (good stocking stuffers).
Our motorcycle club, Star 393 of Chandler, had a picnic at Falcon Field park and it was a "Fiesta" theme, with Mexican food and decorations. Nesto and I were in charge of the pinata for the kids. It's a popular game in Latin America and the Southwest U.S. A colorful cardboard or paper mache' container holds candy and small toys and is suspended by a rope from a tree. We blindfold the kids one at a time and let them swing a bat to try and break open the pinata. I stuffed a witch's head (Halloween theme). Once the pinata has broke open, the kids scurry to pick up the candy ~ fun!
