Sallie, I learned about the Day of the Dead, when a parent of Mexican descent asked to celebrate it in my 1st grade class. (another year, we celebrated Chinese New Year for a parent of Chinese descent) So one Christmas when Hubby and I were in San Antonio, we went to a street market and I bought the D of the D altar. I now set one up in my home each November. I keep it up till November is over.
What a lovely altar. I love that you have adopted this custom!

That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o
