Each second is gift…we are blessed to help , all over the world and here..

On this Columbus day, I celebrate Italian heritage Spanish heritage, Indian heritage..

After all they were here first..

I just ate at Esquina El Salvador….pulpusas sir..no gracias..but beans, and juevos y mas..

I remember Easter Week going to El Salvador, helping with earthquake victims there…having gone with Habitat and a team…

An interesting country, beautiful , we stayed in Sonsonate, while others worked in Salvador, el capital…

Houses were rocked, devastated, the whole time, I mixed concrete..all I did…mas mexcla more mix, more concrete mix..

Pouring water, mixing, it was what we did…

To help someone have a home, love in the mortar joints as one of millards books stated, the founder and friend..

Donde vive, I ask the mujer at the counter..Portchester….

I remember machine guns, outside the doors of our place we ate…protecting us…have you ever had to be protected by machine guns…

Seeing places like that, I understand why people want to live in Portchester, or Ny, or anywhere but…     tu quiere un mas Bueno vida….you want a better life..

So heres to Italy, and El Salvador, and Mexico and Ireland..and America….i had no machine guns outside the restaurant, just great food, and now off to our new Restore…bendiciones! Viva America!!!!!! Viva Salvador..gracias a Dios para todo!
