Our eldest, Melissa, has returned safely from Mazatlan and is back at work in Eden Prairie. Eager to max out on the sunshine, she overexposured and brought home a bit of a burn. (Our dear granddaughter, Emily, was kept out of the harmful rays and managed quite well.) Below is Missy with the parents of her "adopted" Mexican family, swimming with their four children in Missy's timeshare pool. Over the years, Missy has given much to this family; their youngest child is named "Melissa" in honor of the kindness of their Minnesota benefactor. And Emily learns her Spanish from native speakers.
