The finsihing touches are being put upon my second book, The Orphan and the Beaten Drum. Those of you who have waited so long for me to complete it are probably rolling your eyes. Nontheless, I hope to have it finished sometime in March. The publication date is still uncertain.

We attended the Brownsville Charro Days parade the other day. The event has been going on for about 76 years and its spirit enlivens the whole city. In a parade yesterday, which was one of many to come, the ninos y ninas were decked out in their colorful fiesta garb in a display of history and culture that rivaled the War for Independence re-enactments back home. I will upload some pictures of the event when I get back to Pocahontas.
