Tamale Saturday

Last year Pat and Jack were invited to Cruz's house on the Saturday before Christmas to join in the festivities of eating, drinking, and tamale making. Since Jim had to work I went along for the ride with some letter boxing along the way. We joked that next year we'd bring the entire Kimbrough crowd... little did we know that our joking would become a reality.

Yesterday we made good on our joking and threats and the entire Kimbrough crowd descended on Cruz's house to eat, drink, and make tamales. We did not arrive empty handed, but shared our family traditions of goop and buckeyes with the others. To further add to the mix, a group of ladies who used to work together at Tucson Unified School Distinct still get together often for "Board Meetings;" yesterday was the official December meeting.

Jeff was the only one making tamales, but the rest of us had a great time. James was enthralled by a small winter wonderland display with a train, Elizabeth enjoyed watching and listening to the crowd while Jamie and Betsy mingled with new friends. Jeff meet the tamale master, Georginia, who asked him if he was the reason Pat's tamale ordered recently doubled. He fessed up!
