Friday the 13th Vibes and Angeloo Live
How superstitious are you? I should Google why people are freaked about Fridays falling on the 13th but I don’t want to take the time; if I ever knew the reason, I have forgotten it.
It’s a fairly clear, still morning, and it may turn out to be a ‘beach day’ like yesterday. Not that I left the house for two seconds, but I did take some fabric onto my teeny patio and, while ripping seams, got some sun on my face. An hour of that energizes me for hours and hours.
So much so that I didn’t bother with a siesta. I plowed through my 15-hour waking day, futzing and getting a ton of little things started, but nothing major finished. In other words, I had a perfect day and did precisely what I wanted and nothing else. Those are rare and welcome days that make me grateful.
Some interesting writing came to me yesterday, including a possible new columnist who walks all over Mexico and has a talent for writing about what he sees. You can read him on Monday. Another long piece by a dear friend who had a rush of inspiration and asked me to read and comment on what he had written. You can do the same on Tuesday!
The biggest news came from Carla Piringer, who usually writes about migraine headaches and submitted an article on an assisted-living facility that is having an open house next week. She was so impressed after seeing the place she wrote about it and sent it to me. She is not a ‘gushy’ individual at all, but gush she did about Pacific Home in the hills overlooking Vallarta. Carla’s enthusiasm spilled over her written article, and it took two extended phone calls for her to flesh out what she had written down. Okay, I am sold and will have a look-see at the Open House next week. You can read all about that fabulous facility today in Vallarta Mirror.
I am meeting Brian Bott today for mango smoothies. We met at a Garden Club Gala three years ago and became fast friends. He is such a light in my life.
This coming Sunday is the last Vallarta Garden Club presentation of the Music in the Park series on the Isla Cuale at 4 pm. For 90 minutes, you will be entertained by Angeloo, Vallarta’s musical prodigy who will sing songs in multiple languages, including Mozart’s ‘Queen of the Night’ in German, one of the most challenging arias in opera.
At 12, there is no genre or language Angeloo won’t try. And ace. He is a remarkable and charming young man on many fronts. He is a top student, loves martial arts, and has never met a song he couldn’t sing.
You should bring a chair or blanket and come early to get a great spot. The Garden Club will have some refreshments available, and you are welcome to bring a picnic and make an afternoon/evening of it. See you Sunday on the Isla Cuale by the Iguana Bridge leading up to Gringo Gulch.
