Missing Terlingua

I have been feeling a little blue today as I watched the Día De Los Muertos celebrations both in the United States, Mexico, and other Latin American countries that celebrate it...it was even covered in regular non-Spanish speaking media.

I could not help but wonder how many people had shown up at the Terlingua Cemetery this evening for the lighting of the candles at each gravesite, the bonfire, the impromptu musical events, and the potluck dinner.

None of my friends were going to make it to the Chili Cook-off for various reasons this year. Two of my friends recently lost siblings and one a mother-in-law so they decided to take this year off.  Others have health issues and some have decided they are too old to make the annual trip.

I do not think I have any readers in Terlingua but if by some miracle someone from there is reading this can you tell me if enough people have shown up at the CASI event?  Jeelbare did you make it this year?

I neglected to mention that I stopped at the beauty shop yesterday forgetting that in the United States beauty salons are closed on Mondays. Our regular stylist is in Ciudad Acuña and she is open every day except for Sundays. I could not help but recall the story Jeelbare told us around a roaring fire about him studying to pass his Texas beauty license exam! 😁😁

I need a haircut badly and willing to drive to Terlingua to get one 💇

It is still warm and waiting on the cool front to arrive sometime tomorrow.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

Easter Saturday – Governors Landing

This is my favorite campground.  All the spots were taken except for one.  Wanted to take pictures but when you drive by the people are right in your face and I did not want to invade their privacy or take their picture without their consent.

So I took pictures of the picnic area that is open to the public and is frequented by the locals. Once again the low lake levels can’t help but jump at you.

On the way to this campground you pass a favorite watering hole of some of the nice folks I met at the chili cook-off when they happen to come into town.  Can’t help but wonder what happened to them?  They have not been back since 2008…Jeelbare are you around?  Sandy?  Charlie?
