"To lose the earth you know, for greater knowing; to lose the life you have, for greater life; to leave the friends you loved, for greater loving; to find a land more kind than home, more large than earth"

KERMESSE

















































Latino Americano's fund raising fair,the "kermesse", went off without a hitch. It was a great time, really. Most families and some friends showed up. The weather was ideal.
Janine was on the food committee and was kept hopping serving it all up. Some dads handled the parrilla, dishing out around 650 burgers!






































Crazy games to win back a bunch of junk that we had all just donated for the event, but it was a blast.
I know it sounds corny, but it was pure enjoyment. Real wholesome fun can be sort of a shock with the world as it is. A pleasant feeling just washed over me, sitting watching an uncomplicated good time. Nice.
