We have all seen, or
heard of, the NBA stars who "slam dunk" the ball through the
"hoop" one too many times.
They make it look so easy, that we
always, and
usually unsucessfully, try imitating them
while playing "half-court ball" at the park. I personally remember a couple of guys in my
neighborhood that were actually able
to do it! "Slam
Dunk" is also an expression commonly used meaning "It is a done
deal!".

Mother's Day in Mexico is celebrated on May 10th so don't forget that special woman in your life!
Although
my mother passed away many years ago I always think of her during this special holiday.
I will buy a bouquet of flowers in her honor and smile in her memory. But to me
Mother’s Day does not only reflect a special day for the mothers of the world,
but it has come to be a celebration world wide honoring women. In early
celebrations mothers were honored specifically, but now Mother’s Day is
observed across a wide range of relationships. In addition to mothers,
grandmothers and wives, the celebration now extends to daughters, sisters,
aunts, mothers of loved ones, friends and any other women who play a mother-like
role breaking old traditions and creating new one’s.

We had a firm offer in July on the
sale of our house in Vail, Colorado.
The best month of summer had arrived, and we were not ready to leave the
mountains. We now had the time to enjoy
the lazy days of summer in our sanctuary in Vail with its little sand-covered
beach that Lou built beside streams and fountains. Lou got off the phone and
announced, “You won’t believe this Mari, but Ed has agreed to let us stay rent
free in HIS house during the month of August.”
